Basic Overlocked Skirt Workshop (Ages 2–10) Date & Time: 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Course overview Master the essentials of your overlocker while making a simple, comfortable skirt for a child aged 2–10.

Find inspiration during the session and personalise your skirt with trims and ribbon.
Who it’s for Suitable for all sewing levels — beginners welcome. Ideal for anyone who wants to gain confidence with their overlocker and produce a tidy, wearable garment.
