Make a Simple Skirt
This workshop is a good follow on from our Learn To Sew courses and enables you to put your new sewing skills into practice.
The skirt is a simple but timeless garment, and an ideal project to start sewing with. Choose from making a stylish pencil skirt, a full-length skirt, A-line skirt or a even mini skirt, and bring some beautiful fabric to really make the skirt your own.
During the class you will learn how to use a commercial pattern, and to lay, mark and pin the pattern to fabric and cut out. You will sew seams and darts, insert a concealed zip, attach a facing, make and attach a lining, and then hem, press and finish your skirt ready to wear.
You will be given a pattern to use, you just need to bring fabric and a matching zip.
See examples of the skirts you could make here. Not keen on making a skirt? Try our Simple Dress or Pyjama pants courses.
On completion of this course you could progress onto more complicated garments, such as the T-shirt or the Fitted Summer Dress.
