🌿 4-Class Sewing Series: The Wrap Skirt
Tuesdays, November 25 – December 16 •6pm - 8pm
Location: Vecina, 544 Biden Street, Downtown Scranton
What’s better than a wrap skirt for your first apparel project?
This timeless piece works beautifully in wool, linen, cotton, denim, and drapey blends, a versatile project that looks polished and feels comfortable.
🪡 Who This Class Is For
This class is perfect for anyone who has completed Beginner’s Sewing 101 or has equivalent experience.
It’s not a basic beginner class, you should already be familiar with your sewing machine, understand straight stitching, seam allowance, cutting, and measuring.
My teaching approach focuses on craftsmanship. I help you create garments that look and feel professionally made, never “homemade.” Each session builds your skills so you can continue sewing confidently long after class ends.
✂️ What You’ll Learn
We’ll create a wrap skirt from a commercial pattern (sizes up to 20 / 45” waist), your pattern is included with the cost.
After registration, please send your waist measurement, measured where you feel most comfortable wearing a waistband.
