Workshop Leader:
The workshops explored the textile heritage of the Paisley Co-operative & Manufacturing Society. Participants learned how to make “Nobby Blouses” made famous by women entering retail in the Victorian to Edwardian era. Participants were given instructions on cutting fabric, following patterns, making garments and also explored the history of women’s fashion from made-to-measure and the ready to wear era.
