Learn To Make A Fitted Winter Skirt with Zip!
With expert seamstress Pat Stevens.
Learn new sewing skills and make yourself a fabulous winter skirt in a relaxed environment with expert seamstress Pat Stevens.
This is an intermediate sewing class on how to accurately cut out and adjust a pattern to make yourself a take-away home skirt. You will learn to create a fitted skirt using pleats that will shape it beautifully around your curves. You will also learn to create a fitted waistband, how to insert a zip fastening and finish off by neatly hemming your skirt.
This workshop is a great introduction to making a simple garment and to helping you understand the basic principles of dressmaking.
THE SKILLS YOU WILL LEARN INCLUDE:
- how to use your measurements to adapt the skirt to fit you
- cutting skirt and waistband pieces accurately
- how to sew darts to shape your garment.
- how to insert a zip
- how to prepare and finish the hemline of a skirt
We will provide skirt pattern measurements for you and you can bring along some fabric of your choice or purchase a fabric in advance from the selection in our shop.
We recommend a cord, denim or other medium to heavy fabric. Do pop into Stich! as we have a great selection of fabric that is especially suited for this project.
This is a beginner/improver dressmaking workshop. You should already know your way around a sewing machine, be able to thread the machine, load the bobbin and do forward and back straight stitching.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: Bring your own choice of fabric or purchase fabrics in advance from our shop. You will need between 1.5 and 2m of fabric. You will be making a skirt of approximately knee length.
