Workshop Calendar 2022
Whitelane workshops
Whitelane workshops have been structured to offer the beginner and intermediate sewist a safe space to explore new techniques, building upon one's own experience and previous Whitelane workshop content.
Our studio is equipped with machinery for your use (no need to bring a sewing machine) with some workshops including hard to source materials. A large bright space with large tables for cutting out your patterns, we have designed the studio with the sewist in mind.
Most workshops offered by Whitelane are limited to 5 participants to ensure adequate social distancing as per government guideline and ensure enough table space for everyone. It is also a requirement to check in using the Check In Qld app and be fully vaccinated against COVID19 to participate in workshops (unless a medical exemption applies).
We welcome keen sewists from age 15+
Located upstairs at 353 Ruthven st (no wheelchair access), we are centrally located in the Toowoomba CBD with plenty of off street parking options nearby. For those from out of town, see the Grand Central Parking link for a discounted rate, just a short stroll from the studio.
We look forward to seeing you :)
Lingerie and Vintage Workshops
Show me all available workshops-
January
We start the year with lingerie and vintage workshops.
Start to build your lingerie/performance wardrobe with the Marie panties by Evie La Luve and Sierra bralette by Madalynne Intimates. The perfect beginners patterns to introduce you to lingerie construction methods.
Every vintage wardrobe needs a staple classic skirt or two. The Stanwyck skirt by Charm patterns to the rescue. With multiple design options for pencil and circle skirts, this design will fulfil your vintage fantasies.

February
Continuing our skirt workshop series and adding new workshops to the mix.
The much anticipated Rhinestone Pasties workshop will show you how to plan your design and the best adhesives to use. With all materials included in your workshop fee.
Be quick, places in this workshop are sure to sell out fast!

A vintage wardrobe is incomplete without a peasant blouse, right? The Rita blouse by Charm patterns is a deliciously gathered neckline with cute sleeve options. You'll need one in every colour.

Let talk about petticoats.
Deceptively simple, yet generally feared as a project.... Tulle is notoriously difficult to work with.
Join us to unravel the mystery of this fibre and make your own masterpiece.
We also dip into Vintage dresses with the Night & Day dress.

From simple and sweet to vintage vamp, the Night & Day dress answers your vintage dress needs. With neckline, collar, sleeve and skirt options, you'll be able to mix and match to find your perfect style.

The bodysuit is a staple in a woman's wardrobe and you can't go wrong with the Fenix bodysuit by Madalynne Intimates. Beautifully colour blocked and with a plunging neckline, this is too good for underwear.

Our last workshop for 2022, the Maris bralette and panty.
Plunging neckline teamed with a tanga cut panty, it's the perfect early Christmas present to yourself.
