Pastie-making workshop :

Made famous by burlesque legends such as Jennie Lee “the bazoom girl”, nipple pasties have become an essential accessory for any modern woman ! In this workshop, you will learn all the steps involved in making a pair of your very own from start to finish, customised the way you want and for you to take home and keep.

I’ll be showing you how to make fabric pasties, sequin pasties and all the tricks involved in creating the perfect spinning pair. You will also be able to rifle through my extensive collection of sequins, feathers, ribbons, crystals and trimmings – so you can decorate your pasties in your own individual way. And, should you wish to make a pair to match a What Katie Did corset, you’ll also have access to the WKD range of fabrics too.

Come along and spend a lovely Sunday afternoon in the What Katie Did boutique in west london learning a new skill, indulging in tea and cupcakes and creating a beautiful pair of nipple pasties to keep. You’ll also receive a What Katie Did discount voucher to use in the shop for any purchases made on the day of the workshop.

Numbers are limited – ladies and gentlemen welcome !

Time : 1- 4pm
Where : What Katie Did, 26 portobello green, 281 portobello road, London W10 5TZ.
Cost : £25 ( includes all materials )
