Event: The Pretty Patchwork Skirt--A Serger Project!
It can be upcycled! It can be simple! It can be complex! It can be long! It can be short! It can be anything that you want it to be!
The Pretty Patchwork Skirt is an easy, beginner friendly pattern that gives YOU the control, and we are hosting a serger event to celebrate the creativity that you can create with just this pattern and our bernette b64 sergers. 
If you have been considering a serger for yourself, but have never been truly certain about what a serger can help you create, then we strongly encourage you to attend this event! Students will be able to come in, learn about fitting and the pattern, select their fabrics (either purchased in the store, or from knit fabric scraps that you bring from home!), and get to sew up their skirts on sergers provided by the University of Sewing! This event is a wonderful way to learn all about the bernette Air Threading Sergers, upcycle your fabric scraps, and create something uniquely you.
This event runs all day. Participants are expected to bring a packed lunch. Sergers and patterns will be provided by the University of Sewing, but all students must bring their own fabrics, supplies, enough thread for a 4-thread overlock stitch, and a basic sewing kit. Prior serger experience is not required! Please, do not bring old t-shirts or sweaters. This project works best with 2-4 fabrics of similar weight, drape, and stretch. Everyone who attends will receive special event pricing on serger/overlockers, fabric, and sewing notions!
