Virtual sewing workshops, studio passes, and Handmade Wardrobe Year

the workroom’s virtual sewing workshops are designed to support thoughtful, skill-building garment sewing - whether you’re joining for a single project or building a handmade wardrobe over time.

Rather than offering a single path, there are several ways to sew with the workroom, depending on how much structure, continuity, and ongoing support feels right for you. This guide outlines each option and how they connect, helping you choose what best fits goals.

Virtual Garment Workshops

Online sewing classes focused on one garment at a time

Virtual garment workshops are in-depth online sewing classes centred around individual patterns. Each workshop walks through the full construction of a garment, with careful attention to technique, sequencing, and decision-making.

Workshops are taught slowly and thoughtfully, with replays available so participants can sew at their own pace. The emphasis is on building confidence alongside skill, offering insight into not just what to do, but why certain choices are made along the way.

Virtual garment workshops are a good fit if you:

• want to focus on a specific garment or sewing technique

• enjoy learning by watching and sewing alongside an instructor

• prefer flexible pacing supported by class replays

The Studio Workshop Pass

A flexible pass for online garment sewing workshops

The Studio Workshop Pass is designed for those planning to take multiple virtual sewing workshops and who value both flexibility and savings.

The pass includes any four virtual garment workshops between January and June, allowing participants to choose projects as the season unfolds. It provides structure without requiring commitment to specific garments or dates in advance.

This option works especially well if you:

• want to build sewing skills across multiple garments

• like having a plan without feeling locked in

• appreciate savings when enrolling in several workshops

Handmade Wardrobe Year

A year-long approach to building a cohesive handmade wardrobe

Handmade Wardrobe Year is a longer-form sewing program for those who want their garment sewing to feel connected and intentional over time.

Rather than focusing on individual projects in isolation, Handmade Wardrobe Year supports participants in planning and creating a wearable handmade wardrobe. Virtual garment workshops are paired with planning sessions, community check-ins, and space for reflection, allowing skills and garments to build on one another throughout the year.

Handmade Wardrobe Year may be a good fit if you:

• want continuity rather than one-off sewing projects

• enjoy thinking about how garments work together in real life

• are looking for gentle accountability and community support

• want to develop transferable sewing skills that carry from one make to the next

Workshops serve as the building blocks, while Handmade Wardrobe Year provides the structure that helps those pieces come together.

Studio Membership

Ongoing sewing community, learning, and member savings

Studio Membership offers ongoing support and connection alongside virtual sewing workshops and longer programs. It’s designed to support the in-between moments of sewing - the questions that arise mid-project, the motivation to keep going, and the value of sewing in community.

Studio Members receive:

• Office Hours + Sewing Circle
  Regular open studio time to sew together, ask questions, and get support on active projects.

• Pattern Lab
  A behind-the-scenes look at how new sewing patterns are explored, tested, and thought through. These sessions may include working through a pattern, discussing fit and construction considerations, and sharing process-based insights that sometimes inform future workshops.

• Member Discounts
  Studio Members receive exclusive savings on virtual garment workshops and workshop passes, making it easier to continue learning and sewing throughout the year.

• Community Space
  A shared space for discussion, progress sharing, and learning from the collective experience of other makers.

Studio Membership can stand on its own or be layered alongside individual workshops, the Studio Workshop Pass, or Handmade Wardrobe Year.

This option is especially valuable for those who:

• enjoy sewing in community

• want ongoing guidance between workshops

• appreciate learning through shared process and experience
