August 5th is National Underwear Day, so lets prepare together by sewing our own historic undies! Join us on Zoom to learn about what people in the 19th century were wearing beneath all those layers, take a look at items from the Manor's collection, and follow along with a sewing tutorial to make historic undies you can actually wear! Ages 12+.
Need supplies? For an additional fee, we'll mail a kit with all the supplies you need straight to your door. Includes: Cut fabric (one size fits most), needle, and thread. (Kits only available until July 21st!)
