Tiered Skirt with Pockets

This class is for those with Intermediate sewing skills: ex. You have taken any sewing classes before (bags, clothing or quilts), you know how to thread your machine and you can sew relatively straight lines.

$60 (plus the purchase of the pattern, $9.99)

Supplies purchased at the store for this class will be 10% off!

Pattern PDF must be purchased by you from:

https://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/womens-tiered-skort/

We will have the patterns printed on large paper sheets so you don’t have to tape or print pattern pieces. This is included in the cost of the class. Please show proof of pattern purchase to receive your printed copy.

ALL fabric MUST be washed and dried BEFORE coming to class. Also, please try to have your fabric ironed!

Suggested additional feet for your machine (not required, but they help! You can show us what you already have and we can make it work!)

• Overlock foot (or you can use a zigzag stitch to finish the inner edges)
• Blind hem foot
• Stitch in the ditch foot (also called an Edge Foot)
• 1/4 in foot

Other suggested items:

• Sewing machine in good working condition with foot pedal and power cord. You must be able to operate your sewing machine, including winding bobbin, threading machine, and changing needles and presser feet.
• 2" or 3/4" elastic (available at the shop).  See page 12 of your pattern for elastic requirement
• Good pair of sharp scissors
• Thread to match your skirt
• A sewing magnet (metal, not plastic - sold in store!)
• Straight pins and/or clips
• Clip ‘n Glide Bodkin (sold at the store)
• Seam gauge
• Measuring tape
• Fabric marker that erases
• Snack or lunch and a drink.
• The pattern is included in the cost of the class.  However, please let us know your size upon registration.
• 1 Bobbin of a contrasting color for gathering (a great way to get rid of extra wound random colors!)
• Please Fill at least 1-2 bobbins of matching thread.
• Polyester thread that matches your fabric:  NOT Sewology! Buy Gutterman, Mettler, Madeira or Glide to match for top stitching.

Print your instruction sheets as I am changing some things to make it easier. You will want to take notes for the next time you make this!

Pattern is based off 60” fabric. (But I have ways to make 42-44” fabric. See the samples at the store. They were made with 44” fabric!)

Please buy cotton, cotton rayon, linen, voile (something with fluid drape preferred, but quilting cotton also works. Please do not buy knit for this class.)

Once you have made it with cotton, you can make it in a knit (which requires different needles and some different stitches.)

Make sure to WASH and DRY your fabric before you arrive to class so it is pre-shrunk. You may want to zigzag or overlock the cut edges of your fabric so it doesn’t fray when washing.

Due to time length - This class will only make the skirt. If you really want the shorts added - plan on doing your finishing work at home, or set up a private sewcial lesson when I am working to answer questions and walk through different knit techniques.

Fabric requirements:

Please see page 3 of your pattern for size requirements. It is best to measure yourself for accurate fit. Your waist vs hip. Your waist is the smallest around area between your ribcage and hips (above your bellybutton). Your hip is the widest part just below your belly button. Find a size that is between these measurement for a good fit.

Fabric notes for how much you need!

This is all based on non-directional fabric. If your fabric is directional you will need to purchase additional fabric. Please ask for Hunter to help you figure it out.
