Sew a Couture Skirt with Susan Khalje is a six-lesson deep dive into the techniques, mindset, and hand skills that define haute couture construction. Led by master tailor and couture instructor Susan Khalje, this course takes you through every step of making a beautifully finished straight skirt using the Elmwood Skirt pattern (included with an All Access membership), from your very first muslin all the way to a hand-sewn hem.
This course was originally recorded live on Zoom with 25 lucky Cashmerette Club members who sewed along with Susan in real time. We are thrilled to share these sessions so that all Cashmerette Club All Access members can benefit from Susan's expertise and this wonderfully intimate classroom experience.
Couture sewing is about slowing down, working with intention, and building garments that fit and feel extraordinary. Susan draws on decades of experience — including her time at a New York couture house where every single seam was hand-basted in silk thread — to share a set of techniques that will fundamentally change the way you think about fit, fabric, and finishing.
Whether you are entirely new to couture techniques or are looking to deepen a practice you have already begun, this course offers something rare: the chance to sit alongside an expert who is generous with her knowledge, clear in her explanations, and genuinely passionate about the craft.
