Everyone loves a sexy pencil skirt! Make one in wool and pair with your favorite blouse for work, or stitch one in a cute cotton print or denim to wear around town. This versatile and easy skirt is unlined with front and back darts for a flattering fit. In this class you will learn how to put in an invisible zipper, finish edges with a serger, sew a blind hem, and work with bias tape. This makes a great first project working with a pattern and beginning to fit clothing on your body.
