This easy, breezy skirt is a summer wardrobe essential, and it's beginner-friendly! We'll go over choosing a size, marking and cutting out fabric, gathering and attaching ruffles, inserting an elastic waistband, and sewing buttonholes and narrow hems. Students should be comfortable setting up and sewing by machine, and maintaining an accurate seam allowance.
