Duration – 3 hours

This workshop is suitable for those with basic machine skills (able to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, sew a straight stitch).

Come and learn how to make a beautiful girl’s skirt. By choosing your own fabric you can make your own bespoke skirt for a little one/not so little one! This skirt has an elasticated waistband so no tricky fastenings to deal with. You can embellish your skirt with a trim along the hem to make it really stand out – just see the pictures below for some options.

You will learn:

• how to create a casing for an elastic waistband
• an easy method of inserting elastic into the waistband
• neat finishing of raw edges inside with zig zag stitch
• how to sew a simple double-fold hem

Equipment and Materials:

• Janome sewing machines and basic sewing tools provided to use.
• Elastic for waistband is provided.
• Tea & Coffee included.
• Photographic handout of instructions given to take home to repeat project if desired

What you need to bring:

• 0.5-1.0m fabric of your choice (at least 45″/115cm wide)- cotton or polyester/cotton works best for this project. If in any doubt about fabric choice please contact me so I can advise you further.
• Selection of machine threads available to use but you may wish to bring your own to match your fabric.
• Any trimmings you wish to use e.g. ribbon, ric-rac
