AM036: Learn to Sew Series - 'Grow with Me Skirt'



A brilliant beginner's class for those wanting to have fun making children’s clothes.  Deborah Smith will show you how to use simple designs to create fun, easy wear clothing whilst picking up invaluable dressmaking skills along the way.  This sweet skirt has a gathered waist and adjustable straps that tie at the back and can be extended as your child grows.

During this class, participants will learn how to calculate, measure and cut fabric requirements, insert an elastic waistband, strapping, gathering, french seams and hemming.   

Children's clothing is the perfect place to grow your sewing confidence.  Have fun playing with different fabrics and don't get too worried if things don't turn out perfectly... the kids certainly won't mind!
