In this class, you will create a pattern for a circle skirt that fits your measurements, then sew that circle skirt. This class is suitable for confident beginner sewists: you should be able to thread your machine, keep a consistent seam allowance, cut out pattern pieces, etc, but you don't need to have sewn clothes or drafted patterns before.
The first class will focus on drafting the pattern. Students will need a pencil, a measuring tape, scissors, and may find a calculator handy (your phone is fine!). Instructor will provide paper for patterns.
The second class will focus on assembling the skirt from your drafted pattern. Students will need scissors, the fabric for their skirt, which should be prewashed; matching thread; a sewing machine; and other relevant notions for finishing their skirt, such as a hook and bar.

February will be all about love letters -- self-love, world-love, romantic love, you name it. We will create these love letters in a variety of media.
