Class Experience

Project-based beginner course that teaches core garment techniques on a small scale: constructing a gathered doll skirt and creating an appliqué-decorated top. Instruction is progressive and hands-on, with longer practice time allocated to gathering and decorative stitching so students complete each piece over the two sessions.

Learning Outcomes

  • Create an appliqué top using a provided template

  • Sew appliqué onto a pre-sewn doll top

  • Construct a simple gathered doll skirt using casing and gathering techniques

Prerequisites

  • Knowledge of sewing machines parts

  • Ability to sew a straight line, curves and edges

  • Ability to sit still throughout the duration of the class

  • Ability to follow simple instructions

Materials needed:

  • One rectangle of fabric (e.g., ) for the skirt.

  • Small piece of wide elastic or cord for the waistband.

  • Matching thread

  • Ruler or measuring tape

  • Pins or sewing clips

  • Heat and Bond

  • Iron and ironing board (optional)

  • An 18-in doll top to applique - I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/4mH8ivL
