Learn some more advanced garment making techniques with a fitted skirt. Your pattern selection should include: darts, a waistband or waist facing, and a zipper closure. Three different zipper installation methods (centered, lap, and invisible) will be taught. If you want to experiment with all three, please bring 2 9” all-purpose coil zippers and a 7”-9” invisible zipper and ¼ yard extra fabric.
Supplies needed:
-your basic sewing tools*
-a fitted skirt pattern (darts, waistband or facing, zipper opening)
-appropriate yardage of laundered fabric + extra for zipper practice (woven fabric only, please)
-appropriate lining fabric (if your pattern does not include a lining pattern get the same amount of fabric that the skirt calls for)
