Update - Workshop applications are live, so is our little Weebly website that could, go gentle on her. Link in bio. Website WasatchSewingCollective.org 

This is our 3rd year putting on sewing and underwear making workshops —and our first year as Wasatch Sewing Collective! 

We want to introduce the collective and answer some of our most frequently asked questions. What other questions do you have for us?

Our Info & Interest form (linked in bio) has even more details, filling it out signs you up for email updates, which is the best way to get workshops announcements. 

We’re also aiming to launch a website this week, and open applications for the first workshop —Boxer Brief Making asap! 

Please note, even if you’re not the most interested in making underwear, as long as you are a queer or trans person wanting to learn to sew, these workshops are still for you! All the sewing skills are super transferable.

Each stands in front of some sewing machines and patterns hanging on a beige wall. Mel is a light skin mixed Indigenous person in a brown button up and black hat. Selena is a brown Asian person in a light brown tshirt and rust shorts. They’re both masculine presenting nonbinary people.

Brief (AKA Panty) Making Workshop

Tuesday November 3rd, 5pm - 8pm 
Saturday November 7th, 11am - 6pm
Indie Square Coworking, Murray, Utah 

Beginner participants must be able to attend both sessions.

DETAILS 

Learn to sew! Learn to make briefs --aka panties! Like a pro, from the pros! In an inclusive, encouraging, environment alongside other queer and trans people. 

This intensive 8 hour workshop is structured to accommodate LGBTQIA+ of all sewing levels. 

It includes conventional women's underwear, versions with more front/crotch space, and compression* (aka tucking) styles. 

This is crash course --in a fun way! If this is your first time sewing, it will be challenging sure, but 100% doable. We can basically guarantee you'll leave with a pair of self made underwear!

We take lots of breaks, all meals and snacks are provided, plus our instructors are really great.

If you mostly just want to learn to sew --not necessarily super interested in underwear making, this workshop is still for you. The skills you'll learn are universal.

A special note for low income Black & Indigenous people. We welcome you to take the workshop for free and we can offer reimbursement up to $30 for a Lyft, Uber or taxi if you need it, and/or help coordinate rideshares.

*Compression undies are worn by some transgender women, femme, nonbinary or drag performers who want a flat front look in their underwear. taken in Indie Square Nonprofits by @wasatchsewingcollective

Applications are open for our fall 2026 sewing & underwear making workshops! Link in our bio.

These are for LGBTQIA+, allies, and BIPoC in the Salt Lake valley. 

They’re 10 hour intensives split up over 2 days, with staggered start times for different skill levels, including those who’ve never sewn before. 

Even if you’re not the most interested in making underwear, it’s still a great way to learn how to sew alongside other queer, trans and poc peers!

Some bandana making from the open sewing studio last weekend! 

I bring my patterns and supplies and folks are welcome to use them or work on their own projects. 

Last one I had planned for the winter, but am considering planning some more :)
