This class is the perfect introduction to dressmaking, garment sewing, and a great project for beginner-level sewists and more advanced. Over 1 day, you will make yourself a simple skirt. You will cover how to read dress patterns, do basic pattern alterations to fit your measurements, cut and prepare fabric for sewing, then sew a skirt with a waistband or facing with a zipper to fit you!
Your skirt will have a zipper, either a concealed/invisible zipper or a regular, lapped zipper. Learn the tips and techniques for your future clothes making projects! You will get to cut, fit, and sew a skirt for yourself. Select from a few of skirt styles that will be provided, then bring along your beautiful fabric to create a simple skirt. Choose from a classic A-line skirt, a pleated tulip skirt, or a simple pencil skirt.
Join our small-sized class with a maximum of 4 students. Sewing machines, overlockers and basic sewing tools are provided.
Please note, you need to have recent sewing experience to attend this workshop. You should be at least a beginner level and able to set up and operate a sewing machine independently. If you would like to learn how to sew to attend this workshop or you need a refresher, you can attend our Introduction to Sewing Class.
