Online Event: Blueprints: The History of the Sewing Pattern

About

Sewing patterns have been the main blueprint for making clothes in the home for centuries. Find out more about the history of the paper pattern industry and the companies that produced patterns in this illuminating online workshop. Discover the origins of patterns - from the tailoring manuals of the 16th century to the dressmaking publications of the 19th century, and the film costume-inspired Hollywood and Starred patterns of the 1930s and 1940s, through to the packet patterns that we buy today.

This event will take place online as a Zoom session. There will also be a chance to look at patterns and sewing magazines from the RAMM collections.

Details of the session will be emailed to you in advance of the date of the workshop.
