Create two stylish A-line skirts. The Button-Front Skirt is a sophisticated design with a timeless look. The Paperbag Swing Skirt is a sassy design with a fun shirttail hem. These versatile skirts will make the perfect additions to your closet. The downloadable patterns for both skirts are included in Junior XS–XL and Ladies XS–XL.

On one skirt, you’ll learn how to create a faux front placket,  make a casing for waistline elastic, and topstitch the hem. For the other skirt, you’ll create a paperbag waist and a curved shirttail hem. You can even add belt loops and a sash if you’d like. Both skirts are wardrobe staples that you will love to wear again and again.

In addition to the step-by-step video, the class includes downloadable patterns and instructional PDFs for both skirts (Junior XS–XL and Ladies XS–XL).
