Beginner L2 – Elasticated Skirt

Welcome to our Beginner Skirt Sewing Class, designed for those who are familiar or played around a bit with a sewing machine ready to take the next step into garment‑making. In this relaxed, hands‑on workshop, you’ll learn how to create a simple, wearable skirt while building confidence working with fabric, and assembling a skirt from start to finish.

Guided step by step, we’ll focus on understanding basic skirt construction, body measuring, cutting, and neat finishing techniques. By the end of the class, you’ll walk away with a completed skirt and a solid foundation that you can build on for future skirt sewing projects.

No pressure, no perfection — just practical skills, creativity, and the satisfaction of making something you can proudly wear.
