The Handmade Wardrobe Year
The Handmade Wardrobe Year is a year-long sewing experience at the workroom designed to help you grow your garment-making skills and confidence while creating a wardrobe that truly reflects you.
Members get access to every garment workshop, Karyn Valino teaches in 2026, with the choice to sew along live or follow the replays at your own pace. You’ll also be invited to bi-monthly studio sessions where we plan projects, share progress, and connect as a supportive community of makers.
Whether you're able to join The Handmade Wardrobe Year or not, this is part of the workroom's commitment to making our virtual workshops even better with every one we do. Our goal is to build a growing library of patterns, techniques, and inspiration to guide you as you create your own thoughtful, handmade wardrobe.
BONUS! Join now and get access to the final three garment workshops of 2025.
There are just 11 spots left - We'd love for you to join us!

Trapeze Dress Virtual Workshop
The Trapeze Dress by Merchant & Mills is a true modern classic and in this workshop, we’ll sew it together while exploring a few of the 7 Hacks, each offering a fresh way to transform this versatile pattern. From a sailor collar or frill sleeve to a tiered skirt or bias-cut silhouette, you’ll discover how small design choices can completely change the look and feel of your dress.
