Are you interested in pattern drafting, but not sure where to start? Have you ever struggled with making a commercial skirt pattern fit you perfectly? Then this lesson package is for you!
Over the course of four 2 hour sessions, you will draft a skirt block starting with your measurements, that will not only be a perfectly fitting pencil skirt, but will serve as the base for any style skirt you'll ever want!
This lesson package is both about learning basic flat pattern drafting techniques, but also about completing a perfectly fitting skirt. The package includes all the materials you'll need for the drafting process, some great tools you'll use in other sewing adventures, plus fabric for your final skirt!
