My a-line/flaired skirt lesson begins at step 4. No directions are given for measurements or drafting pattern. Thank you
Professor Pincushion
This course is a continuation of our first course, How To Make a Basic Skirt. That course shows you how to take measurements and draft a pattern for a simple, basic course. You then take that simple skirt pattern and use this lesson to alter it to draft the a-line skirt pattern. Sorry for the confusion.

There is no sound at the beginning of my lessons nor is there any instructions for measuring for the flaired or pencil skirts. Thank you
Professor Pincushion
If you have any technical issues, like sound problems, please send an email to curious support and they should be able to help you. Thanks! :)

Professor Pincushion
You can do it! I definitely recommend starting with our basic skirt pattern making tutorial. If you can do that, you can do anything :)
