Suggested Fabrics:
Light-weight wovens are the easiest for a beginner: linen and cotton are highly recommended for this skirt, however, you could also use- chambray, double gauze, muslin, lawn and viscose rayon (these fabrics are a little bit tricky to work with for the beginner sewist).
Mid-weight wovens, such as- pinwale cord, velveteen, drill, and quilting cotton, suit the shorter length skirts better.
Please reach out for help if you are unsure which fabric to choose, more comprehensive information on fabric selection will be provided after you have booked your course.
Please note- students are required to supply their own fabric for this workshop.
The reason we ask students to bring their own fabric is because the look and feel of your skirt is very personal to you, and should be something that you love, not something that we have chosen for you! Plus, the experience of shopping and choosing fabric is a fun learning experience for the beginner sewist.
