There are endlesss possibilities for you to make other fab skirts once you have your own basic skirt pattern. Come and learn to draft your very own skirt pattern which will be made to fit you and nobody else but you!
The short course will cover:
Basic pattern making principles and terminology
Taking body measurements
Using your own measurements to draw up a basic skirt onto paper (skirt will have darts, a zipper and a waistband)
Working out fabric metreage for your skirt, cutting out your skirt and then sewing it up in calico to the fitting stage
Trying it on, fitting it on your body and then making any necessary adjustments to your pattern.
You will make your skirt up in calico until your pattern is perfected (calico and patternmaking paper are included in the cost of the course). You can then make your skirt out of "real" fabric at home afterwards. See "what to bring" below
