If you want to make a skirt that looks like it cost a fortune, buy a yard or so of really nice fabric and take the intermediate skirt class at Sew Fast Sew Easy. You get measured for a custom pattern before the class begins, make the pattern in muslin to insure a perfect fit, and you sew the best-looking skirt you'll ever own. My class was very small so it was like getting private lessons from the best sewing teachers around. Deborah and Elissa taught this class and they were both fabulous. They are serious here about teaching you the right way sew, and they have lots of industry tips to share. I left every session feeling like I had learned some secret technique that would really take my sewing skills to the next level. I took other classes a while back at Sew Fast Sew Easy to brush up on the basics. We made a pillow, tote bag, elastic-waist skirt and a t shirt. The quality of the instruction in all of the classes I have taken at Sew Fast Sew Easy has been consistently high. I think that I want to take every class that they offer.
