PLEATED SKIRT SEWING WORKSHOP

Thursday, October 15 · 6:00–9:00 PM

Learn how to sew your own pleated skirt from start to finish at La Paisa Studio. ✂️

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create clean, structured pleats and turn them into a finished skirt you can actually wear.

This class is perfect for someone who already knows the basics of using a sewing machine and is ready to move beyond beginner projects into garment construction.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

During the workshop, we'll cover:

• How pleats are created and constructed
• Measuring and preparing your skirt
• Marking and creating even pleats
• Pressing pleats for a clean finish
• Garment construction techniques
• Creating and attaching the waistband
• Finishing seams and raw edges
• Hemming and final finishing

You'll leave with your own finished pleated skirt and techniques you can use for future garment projects.

SKILL LEVEL

Beginner+ / Intermediate

You should already be comfortable threading and operating a sewing machine and sewing a basic seam.

You do not need advanced garment-making experience.

If you've never used a sewing machine before, I recommend taking Intro to Sewing first.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• In-person instruction from Natalia
• Use of La Paisa Studio sewing machines
• Sergers
• Cutting/work tables
• Irons and pressing equipment
• Basic shared sewing tools
• Guidance throughout the construction of your skirt

WHAT TO BRING

Bring the fabric you'd like to use for your skirt, along with:

• Coordinating thread
• Fabric scissors if you prefer your own
• Any special trims or details you'd like to incorporate

For your first pleated skirt, I recommend a woven, non-stretch fabric that holds a press well.

Avoid very stretchy, slippery, or extremely heavy fabrics for this workshop.

Important: Because the amount of fabric needed will depend on the skirt length, size, and amount of fullness/pleating, we should give students a specific yardage requirement once we finalize exactly which skirt construction you're teaching.
