Workshop Description

Suitable for those who can already set up a sewing machine and stitch in a straight line. Sew a flattering and timeless skirt in this one day workshop. You’ll learn to use and fit a commercial pattern, insert a zip and line a garment. The fee includes the fabulous multi-size (size 8-22) Amy Butler, Barcelona skirt pattern worth £14.00 which you’ll be using on the day - and get to take home so that you can make it again and again. And even better the pattern includes three different takes on the A-line style so that each new skirt you make can look quite different to the one before.
