Thanks to Home Ec, a new sewing studio that the designers of the Brooklyn-based Flirt label recently opened in booming Gowanus, everyone in New York can learn how to make the perfect skirt.

Sound dubious? “We’ve mapped the classes out pretty well,” assures co-owner Seryn Potter. “It pretty much prohibits any disasters.”
