SEW YOUR OWN CUSTOM WRESTLING OUTFIT - Presented By Trans Tailoring

At our Sharpsburg location at 606 Main Street

Come sew your own custom wrestling outfit for the Sweet Escape THUNDER THIGHS party on June 6th. All are welcome and this workshop will use body-neutral and gender-neutral language. Instructions, patterns, and a limited number of sewing machines will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own fabric, however a selection of stretch fabrics will be available for sale of $5/project at the event. Fabric requirements are: 70% stretch both ways, with 1.125-2 yards (xs-5x+) for 59" wide fabric. Additional materials to add accents/applique to your outfit will be provided for all participants. Participants should be somewhat familiar with machine-sewing. Participants are encouraged to bring their own serger or sewing machine if they are able to, which is not a requirement. Please sign up through Eventbrite and we will be in touch a few days before the workshop about your measurements or size so that we can provide appropriately-sized patterns. Snacks and drinks will be available for this 3-hour workshop; registration will be capped at ten people.

$10/person

No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. If $10 is not an accessible option for you, please send us an email at aGVsbG8gfCBwcm90b3R5cGVwZ2ggISBvcmc= to RSVP for this workshop. You will not be asked to explain your financial situation.
