Drafting a Knit Skirt Workshop

Who needs patterns when you have your very own measurements!

Workshop Summary

In this workshop, we'll take your measurements and draft a knit skirt to fit both your body and your style.

Pattern drafting is exciting stuff! And simpler than you think.

It opens up the world of sewing in a whole new way, allowing you to more closely see how patterns are made and once you know how patterns are made changing a pattern to fit your body better because easier too.

So grab your pencils, calculator and paper and let's get drafting!

~As a bonus, we'll begin the workshop with some videos on knit fabric 101 and on sewing with knits. Even if you've been sewing with knit fabric for awhile, give them a watch. You just might pick up a tip or two!

~Then we'll get started drafting the skirt...there's a handy worksheet to help with this process.

~Finally, we'll sew up the skirt and check the fit!

Then you can sashay around in your new, self-drafted skirt!

This workshop is just right for you if...

if you've been sewing clothes and you'd like to try your hand at pattern drafting
if you are new to sewing garments and want to jump right in! (yes, really!)
if you've been sewing clothes and you'd like to both try out pattern drafting AND sewing with knits!

Tina VanDenburg

I teach women how to sew clothes they love so that they feel beautiful, empowered, and connected. 14 years ago, I taught myself to sew clothing and fell madly in love, not only with my makes but with my body. I teach because it lights me up. I sew clothes because it makes me feel beautiful, empowered, and connected. And it’s that magic that I want to share.
