I design and sew my circle skirt

Want to learn the techniques of pattern making and sew your first twirling skirt for summer for yourself, your daughter, your granddaughter…?

I will teach you how to draft the pattern, sew it, apply beautiful finishes, and reproduce it endlessly.

During these 3 sessions of 2h30 courses, you will learn:

• How to draft a circle skirt and its waistband (calculation, technical drawing, seam allowances)
• How to choose its length (mini, midi, maxi)
• How to calculate fabric requirements
• How to cut the fabric properly
• How to apply interfacing
• How to neatly insert an invisible zipper
• How to assemble a lined waistband
• Tips and tricks for beautiful finishes on curves, especially for hems

You will leave home with your finished skirt!

Course level: from intermediate level (at the very least having taken the course I discover sewing and first garment). It is necessary to have already sewn at least one garment (knowing how to copy a pattern, understand the orientation of pieces, manage seam allowances, cut the fabric, ...)
It is necessary to be autonomous in using the sewing machine (knowing how to thread it, adjust stitch length...)
Unsure about your level? Feel free to contact me

The course includes :

• 3 x 2h30 of guided sewing with an experienced teacher
• the cutting paper needed to construct the model

• sewing on quality electronic machines Janome Sewist 780 and overlocker Juki Kirei

If you are sewing for someone else, it is necessary to know their waist measurement before the first course.
