We are thrilled to announce the Evelyn skirt workshop with Gabriela, the designer behind Chalk and Notch patterns!

Gabriela will share her knowledge and skills to make this spring staple (midi or mini): a high-waisted skirt fitted through the waist, with front buttons and a high slit for the midi version. From cutting to finishing, you’ll learn the best tips.

Skill level: The Evelyn Pattern is listed as ADVANCED BEGINNER sewing level. The Evelyn is an excellent option for those newer to sewing. The most challenging steps are sewing the buttonholes and the facings.

You’ll learn:

  • Attaching Facings
  • Understitching
  • Buttonholes
  • Sewing a casing with elastic (if you choose view C)
  • Serging/overlocking raw edges

Materials:

  • The pattern will be emailed to you after you sign-up
  • For size and fabric requirements, see chart
  • Buttons
  • Matching thread
  • Interfacing
  • Elastic (if making view C)
