Learn to Sew a Circle Skirt Class for Beginners

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.
• Sewing tracing paper
• 1-1.5m of 2" elastic
• Coordinating thread (or contrasting thread for better visualization)

We will provide:

• The use of a sewing machine and all the tools necessary for a successful project. 
• Written instructions so you can make another one (or two!) at home
