A five-day sewing workshop dedicated entirely to the iconic pencil skirt:

First introduced by Christian Dior in the 1950's, the pencil skirt stands for effortless style. The silhouette flatters all shapes and is the basis for all other skirt styles.

The workshop includes the individual pattern construction, sewing tuition and all materials. The drafting literature is yours and will enable you to create patterns for all sizes and figures in the future. 

Sew your skirt from a beautiful, 100% wool cloth woven by Dugdale Bros & Co in West Yorkshire, made available exclusively for this course. 

The workshop is limited to eight places only.
