Create the Perfect A-Line SkirtFine Arts & CraftsDraft and sew your own skirt that will perfectly fit your personal measurements in the fabric of your choice. Once the pattern is drafted you can make it over and over again with different variations. This skirt will become a staple of your wardrobe—make it short to wear with leggings, make it knee length for summer, or add patch pockets because everybody needs pockets. You will learn pattern drafting (without difficult math), how to place and sew darts, seam finishing, putting in a centered zipper, making and attaching a waistband, and hemming. You will need to know how to use your sewing machine and have a zipper foot (you don’t need to know how to use it). Please note: A supply list will be emailed once the class has reached minimum enrollment.Winter 2023
