All-Inclusive Sew our Favorite Skirt

About the Event

We are going to learn how to sew our favorite skirt that complements most figures. It’s a great layering piece with leggings for year round wear in the Bay Area. 

We're doing something special for this class! Pre-cut fabric, and everything else you need, to make our Favorite Skirt with Kristen Takakuwa are included as part of the class. This means that you get to focus on your sewing  and will have more time to finish your skirt. This is a great learn to sew class!!

We will be making the Cleo Skirt by made by rae. It's got a nice drape, looks good on most figures and it has pockets!

In this class you will learn how to:

• Use a sewing machine

• Read & understand sewing pattern and instructions

• Make an elastic casing

• Make gathers

• Execute simple seam finishing

Supplies: We will be making the Cleo Skirt view B. We are providing everything you need to make your skirt including a copy of the pattern so you can make more. You will receive pre-cut fabric that is sized for the hip measurement you give us when you sign up. This is a very relaxed fit skirt with an elastic waist sizing isn't exact. [Please note: we will use fabric with a simple pattern.]
