Practice pattern cutting and sharpen your machine sewing skills all while learning how to cut patterns, attach a waistband, add elastic, and mark hems. End result is a super cute skirt for you to take home!
Saturday, March 8th
10am- 2:00pm
Level: Beginner + (Basic sewing machine knowledge required)
Age: Adult
Materials To Bring:
-Sewing Machine (inquire about limited machines available for class loan.)
-Favorite Snips (small scissors)
-Thread Color of Choice
-100% cotton fabric prewashed of your choice. Think Quilter’s cotton! Determine yardage needed by measuring your own waist and multiplying that by 2.5. Then divide that by 36.
Measuring Waist Example:
Waist = 36 in.
36 x 2.5 = 90 (this is the number of inches we need for skirt fullness)
90 / 36 = 2.5 (dividing the fullness inches by 36 gives you the number of yards needed)
Pro Tip: Prewash your fabric to take care of any initial shrinkage. Press/iron afterwards or remove it right away from the dryer to help lessen wrinkles!
