Learn to make a skirt that fits YOU! In this two-session class, you will create a custom-made muslin pattern for a simple skirt (either pencil or A-line) that can be used again and again to make many skirts future. In the second class you will use the pattern to make a skirt out of a fabric of your choice, and learn key sewing techniques like applying an invisible zipper and accurate hemming.
This class is very beginner friendly, but is also great for those who have some sewing know-how and want to learn a few fundamentals of patternmaking and accurate fitting.
Class time: 2 sessions, 3 hours each
Maximum class size: 6 people
Supplies required:

- ½” wide double fold bias tape in a color that matches your skirt fabric (this is used for the waistband)
- One invisible zipper in a color that matches your skirt fabric (get one at least 14” long…. or longer is fine as they can be easily shortened)
