Now’s your chance to create your own 1920s-style dress. Think glitter, sequins and beads. Think fringe, feathers and glamor. Think Charleston, The Great Gatsby and luxury. You won’t want to miss this!
At Grimeton Radio Station, we have been making things ourselves for almost 100 years. We’ve made our own tools, we’ve repaired and taken care of. And that’s why we’re delighted to offer you the chance to create a luxurious party bag from scratch for the Great Grimeton Party anniversary celebrations. Whether you’re a beginner or have a little more experience, you’ll receive personalized guidance throughout the process. You will sketch, plan and sew your unique outfit with the help of the course leader. Folkuniversitetet is offering sewing courses in connection with Grimeton Radio Station celebrating 100 years in 2025. Part of this grand celebration is the glittering 20th century party at Societén in Varberg. Whether you’re going to the party or not, this is your big chance to design a really fancy 20’s outfit. This is what you can expect
The course starts with an inspiring planning evening where you get to sketch your 20s outfit and go through what needs to be purchased. Then you have a whole weekend, Saturday and Sunday, where you adapt patterns, sew and create. During the course, you will receive both joint briefings and individual guidance according to your own needs and wishes. Do you need help adapting patterns or tips on how to transform your old garments? Karin is there to guide you all the way! Let your creativity flow and get ready for the glamor of the 20s!
