Design, Pattern Cut and Make a Skirt

Session 2
We will cover:
This session we will touch on frills and gathering techniques and examine different skirt styles such as A-line, Pencil, Panel, Circle, Pleated. You will then draft a pattern for a skirt of your own design. From the draft you will create a pattern with all seam allowances and markings and make a calico toile of your skirt.

Session 3
You will cut and adapt the skirt toile and finalise the pattern. Then using a fabric of your own choice, you will lay the pattern on the fabric, cut out and construct and finish your skirt.

HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO I ALREADY NEED?

You should have learned to sew and made at least one garment from a commercial pattern.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

You will need to bring 2m of fabric in session 3. We will give details when booked.

We will be planning a Pattern Cutting for Teenagers – Design, Pattern Cut and make a Top or Dress.
