Circle skirts are great quick projects to level up your skills, and understanding of fabric, especially learning about drape and shape. Circle skirts can be made with a very wide variety of fabrics, in any length and with varying amounts of fullness. A circle skirt is truly a timeless piece to add to any wardrobe. In this workshop class you’ll create your own custom-fit skirt. Join us and gain some sewing confidence while you learn some new skills.

This class has no prerequisites! Knowing the very basics of how a sewing machine works would be a benefit, but it’s not necessary.

You will learn how to:

Thread our classroom machines
Take great body measurements
Draft a circle skirt pattern with your measurements
Recognize the fabrics grain
Hem a long curved circle

You will need:

1.5-4m of woven fabric; quantity really depends on the measurements. Our staff will be more than happy to help you in the store.

The use of all the tools necessary for a successful project.
