This course is for those who have already completed Sewing for Beginners or have basic sewing skills. You have the option of making an A-line or Pencil Skirt from New Look Pattern 6843.
You'll be developing your technical skills, and learning how to read and follow a pattern. You will complete your skirt, and if there is time at the end of the course, you are welcome to start a new project of your choice. In the first lesson, we will be looking at suitable patterns, discussing fabric options, learning to take measurements, and how to read the information on a pattern sleeve, so bring your ideas and a notebook.
Materials and equipment to bring from the second week:
- New Look Pattern 6843 (all sizes from 8-18 are contained on the one pattern, as well as both styles).
- Fabric
- 1 roll matching thread. Good quality eg Gutterman or Metrosene.
- 30cm Iron on Interfacing.
