A-line skirt
Sew a flattering, summery A-line skirt in this two-part workshop. Learn to use a commercial pattern, insert a concealed zipper and line a garment! Great for sewers who want to take the next step and begin making their own clothes. You’ll use and take home a lovely Amy Butler Skirt pattern which includes three variations so you’ll have a slew of new skirts in no time!
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a beginner’s workshop, but a good introduction to dress-making for someone with recent basic sewing experience. You should already know how to sew a straight seam and confidently use a machine before coming to class. (If you haven’t sewn recently, please sign up for one of our Intro to Sewing Machine workshops: Cafe Apron, Cushion Cover or Tote Bags)
