FASHIONSKOOL

The Chanel-style suit: A-line Mini-skirt 

​

   

This intermediate level fashion workshop is suited to those with previous machine-sewing experience, having already completed some garment-sewing workshops,  who would like to develop their sewing skills further and make an A-line mini-skirt  with a concealed zip fastening.                                                                 

You'll be shown how to prepare, pin and cut your fabric using an exclusive FASHIONSKOOL pattern in your own size. You'll then join the pieces together using a sewing machine, make back darts, facings and insert an invisible zip, finish seams professionally and pick up lots of useful tips along the way.

​

You will need to provide your own fabric and trims for this project (material length requirements will be given when booking is confirmed); recommended fabrics are medium weight woven cottons with some texture:  cotton jacquards, boucles, waffles, brocades etc. with or without stretch.

 

Please choose from the following sizes when booking so that a pattern can be prepared for you:

Teens sizes: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.

 

Equipment, basic haberdashery and light refreshments are provided, however please bring a water bottle and a packed lunch (weather permitting we'll picnic in the garden). Please also bring a face mask and slippers/ soft indoor shoes to wear.
