Ever wanted to make a skirt that fits you perfectly, without the hassle of restrictive commercial patterns? In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to draft, cut, and sew a gorgeous wrap skirt tailored to your exact measurements!
Because this skirt is draft-as-you-go (similar to a circle skirt), it’s incredibly versatile. You can make it using brand-new fabric from your favorite store or give vintage textiles—like tablecloths, bedsheets, or curtains—a stylish second life!
Easy Math, Big Results: How to measure your waist and do simple calculations to get the perfect wrap fit.
Smart Layouts: Understanding how your fabric’s width determines the length of your skirt.
Hemming Made Simple: How to use bias binding to finish your curved edges smoothly and easily.
Sturdy Ties: Topstitching techniques to create neat, strong ties that wrap comfortably around your waist.
1. Your Fabric (New or Upcycled!)
Bringing your own fabric ensures you end up with a skirt you’ll absolutely love wearing. Lightweight to medium-weight woven fabrics work best—think cotton, linen, rayon, or soft vintage linens.
How much to buy:Fabric Needed=Your Desired Skirt Length+ 32cm (12")
(The extra 12 inches gives us plenty of fabric for your waistband and ties!)
A Quick Tip on Length: Wider fabrics (like 58" or 60") give you room for a longer skirt, while narrower fabrics (like 44") work great for mini or knee-length styles! Please note that the waist size combined with fabric width does limit length
2. Bias Binding for the Hem
Feel free to bring your own double-fold bias binding if you want a specific color or contrast trim for your hem.
Don't worry if you don't have any—I’ll have available in the studio for you to use!
I do have some cotton fabrics (42/44" wide) which you may purchase if you prefer
What I Provide:
Interfacing for your waistband and ties.
A selection of standard bias binding in the studio for your hem.
BONUS INCLUDED: After the workshop, I will email you your very own personalised pattern based on your custom measurements! You'll be able to reuse it to recreate endless wrap skirts at home.
