Draw & Sew a Custom A‑Line Skirt

Intrepid Beginner / Intermediate · 4‑hour session

You will draft a personalized A‑line skirt pattern based on your own measurements, then cut, sew, press, and finish the garment with an elastic waistband (usually only in the back, depending on your body shape). This is a true one‑on‑one session, so you receive full attention throughout the entire workshop.

You leave with:

• a finished garment
• a customized pattern drafted to your measurements
• a step‑by‑step instruction document
• the confidence to make more skirts on your own using your personal pattern

Materials — You Bring

• Woven fabric — 1 yd (mini), 1.5 yd (knee‑length), 2 yd (midi), or 2.5 yd (long)
• Matching all‑purpose thread
• ¾" or 1" elastic for the waistband

Materials — Provided

• Kraft paper or large pattern paper for drafting
• Pencil, clear grid ruler or L‑square, measuring tape
• Fabric shears and paper scissors
• Chalk or fabric marking pen, pins
• Drafting tables and cutting area
• Irons and pressing stations
• Sewing machine & serger (you may bring your own if you prefer)
• Extra needles, bobbins, and thread available

I can also help with basic machine troubleshooting and basic servicing — this requires adding one extra hour to the workshop.
