Having a well-fitting basic skirt in your pattern collection provides you with a useful garment to make, and it gives you the starting point from which to develop fun and creative skirt designs. Not only is getting a skirt to fit straightforward, but it's also one of the best and easiest ways to learn fundamental fitting concepts. And having a command of these fitting concepts provides you with an excellent foundation for fitting any other type of garment.
In this 16-lesson class, you may use any basic skirt pattern that has darts and fits at the waist. If you prefer to wear the top of your skirt below the waist, don't worry. You'll learn why you want to fit a skirt that at the waist first, and how easy it is to change the pattern for a lowered waist. It doesn't make any difference whether the skirt pattern you select has a facing or a waistband, since you'll learn how to develop both of these waist-finishing elements in the class. Although fitting is easier if you have a fitting buddy - this person does not need to be a sewer - tips on fitting yourself are included in the lessons.
