A woman's wardrobe is inconceivable without skirts. Because of this outfit, the beautiful half of humanity changes their gait, their posture becomes proud, and they begin to like themselves and others even more. You can learn how to sew skirts yourself and for this we will look at...
How to create a straight skirt pattern
The very first thing is to make a drawing-basis, a basic basis, which can later be used when modeling any types of skirts, such as pencil, godet, trapezoid, bell, oblique, you can use this basis to make all kinds of patterns for long straight floor-length skirts, long year, with flounces, evening options etc.
To make a drawing of the required product, you need to take the correct measurements:
- waist size and divide it in half (WOT);
- hip circumference at the widest part of the thigh and divide the measurement in half (PHB);
- seat height - vertical distance from the hips to the waist (BC), usually measurement = 18-20cm;
- the length of the product itself (DIZ).
For example, let’s say we have the following measurements:
- WAT (waist semi-circumference) =40cm
- SUB (hip semi-circumference) = 51cm
- DIZ (product length) =70 cm
Prepare in advance:
- pencil,
- ruler,
- measuring tape,
- paper.
To create a pattern - a drawing of the basis of a straight skirt, take any paper: you can use whatman paper, old wallpaper, tracing paper.
Drawing a line for the middle of the back of the panel
Take a sheet of paper, step back 4 cm from the edge and draw a 90 degree angle with the top of the T.T.
From this point T we lower the perpendicular down to measure the length of the product 70cm, we got t.H and draw a horizontal line at right side
Finding the hip line
We have a point T, we measure down 18-20 cm from it (it all depends on short or tall height). And from the resulting point B we draw a line to the right.
Determining the skirt by width BB1
From point B we put aside POB+st.ob. (increase for a loose fit along the hips), in our example 51cm +1=52cm.
Now we build a basic rectangle by connecting points B1, T1, H1.
How to determine the side line
Along the line of the hips from t. To the right side we put aside 1/2 FOB minus 1 cm, we get the width of the line of the front half of the skirt, in the example: 52/2 -1 = 25 cm, we got t.B2.
Then you need to draw a perpendicular to line BB1. The points intersect and we denote them T2 and H2.
This is a classic calculation of the drawing grid - pattern.
How to make darts on a straight skirt
To determine the amount of darts, there is a formula that is used by all tailors in the world:
the sum of all darts = FOB - POT. In the example: 51-40 =11cm
Side dart will be = the sum of all darts is divided by 2, in the example: 11: 2 = 5.5 cm (this is the solution of the darts on the side in the drawing, the rest is divided into the front and back halves of the skirt pattern.
Back dart= the sum of all darts is divided by 3, in the example: 11:3 = 3.67 cm.
Front dart= the sum of all darts is divided by 6, in the example: 11:6 = 1.83 cm.
Let's check ourselves: the sum of the solution of all darts should be equal to POB-POT, in the example: 5.5 + 3.67 + 1.83 = 11 cm, that's right!
Where are the darts located?
Back dart will be located at point BB3 = 0.4 x BB2. Take t.B and put it to the right 0.4 x 25cm = 10cm. This will be t.B3. From this point we draw a line upward and label it T3.
Front dart in t. B1B4=0.4 x B1B2. Set aside 0.4 x 25 = 10 cm and get t.B4. Draw a line upward from it and get a new point T4.
BB1-BB2=52cm - 25cm=27cm. This will turn out to be segment B1B2.
Now we can draw the back dart. It will be equal to 3.67: 2 = 1.8. And we put this number on the sides of t T3. From B3 we need to raise the end by 3-5 cm and connect all the dots.
Front dart using the same principle. 1.83: 2=0.9cm. Take t.T3 and set aside 0.9 cm from it on each side. Raise the tip of the front dart by 7-8 cm and connect the dots.
Side dart= 5.5: 2 = 2.75 cm. From T 2 on the sides we set aside 2.75 cm and raise the dart by 1-1.5 cm.
Note:
If the total amount of darts exceeds 14 cm, then the side cut rises above the waist line by 1.5 cm on the side and smoothly connects to the waist line.
If the total amount of darts is not 14 cm, but slightly less, then the side cut rises by 1 cm.
All that remains is to smoothly shape the cuts and connect them to the front and back darts.
This calculation of darts is classic and generally universal. But, still, when constructing a pattern, it is necessary to look at the figure for a more ideal fit and distribute the darts according to your figure, especially if it is non-standard.
Having built such a pattern, it will be possible to model later different types skirts
By making some changes to the main pattern, you can get a pattern for a straight skirt with a vent.
After building the main basic basis patterns, it is advisable to start working with fabric.
In order to apply the pattern of a straight skirt to the fabric, it must be folded in half before cutting, with the right side inward.
A straight-style skirt is a strict product where a straight line of cut dominates. Any woman will be irresistible in such an outfit, regardless of the configuration. This product can elongate the silhouette and add discreet elegance to the image.
Romantic and very practical voluminous skirts are the hit of the season. We'll sew one like this in the evening.
The cut is based on long rectangles, which we will assemble into 4 tiers with beautiful drapery, so the skirt will be very wide at the bottom. We'll gather the waist with an elastic band.
The style is simple. The fabric is designer. It is suggested to take double-sided linen. And the skirt will also be double-sided: on one side there will be bright colors– orange, red, purple and burgundy, and on the other – delicate shades of green. And so that the connecting seams are not visible, we will hide them under the decorative braid.
First we cut the top tier - it is a strip 35 cm wide and 140 cm long. We fold it and sew it with a linen seam. We turn up the edge - this is a drawstring.
Now we’ll cut out the second tier - these are two rectangles 28 cm wide and 140 cm long. Sew the sides. We make a stitch along the edge and collect the drapery. We connect both tiers. We close the edge with braid.
The third tier is three rectangles 28 cm wide and 140 cm long. We sew them together, drape them and assemble a pyramid.
It remains to cut out the 4th tier - these are 4 rectangles 32 cm wide and 140 cm long. We sew, drape and sew. Measure your waist circumference and cut off the elastic. We thread it through the drawstring. Here's the skirt!
More precisely, two skirts in one. Choose either side. The main thing is that there will be no problems with the top - after all, this is the simplest T-shirt.
Skirt made of silk scarves
The scarf theme is the hit of the season. Skirts look especially stylish with scarves. You can make a fashionable new thing with your own hands in half an hour. You will need a large silk scarf with beautiful design. Cut the scarf in the middle into two parts - one will serve as the base, and the second as decoration.
The basis. Fold the rectangle in half and sew. Fold the edge - this will be the drawstring. Carefully process the cut of the second rectangle. Attach it to the base, pin it in the middle and sew along the bottom of the drawstring. Cut two elastic bands at the waist and thread them through the drawstring. Any plain top looks great with this skirt.
Floor skirt
A full-length skirt is a trend for three seasons. Spectacular and feminine. You can sew such a skirt in an evening. Take a versatile fabric like microcorduroy, which holds its shape well and drapes beautifully into beautiful folds. Finish the hem with thin suede.
Fold the fabric right side inward and take two measurements - waist circumference and skirt length. Draw one semicircle, put half the waist measurement in the corner and draw a line. Mark the length and draw a line for the bottom. Cut it out. Similarly, cut out the second semicircle. Connect the side seams and sew them first on a machine, leaving room for the fastener, then process them using an overlocker. Make folds at the waist and cut out a belt - draw a strip with a length equal to the measurement and a width of 8 centimeters. In order for the belt not to stretch out and keep its shape well, it must be glued with non-woven material. Sew on the belt. Finish the hem with strips of suede.
Transformable skirt
A skirt, a sundress and a dress are three things in one. You can sew such a transformer in one evening. The style of the transforming skirt is simple - the cut is based on a square. Take quality tartan wool and thick knitwear to match the main color with a small amount of elastane.
The basis. Fold a square with sides of 130 centimeters into 4 layers. Take two measurements - waist circumference and circumference above the chest. To cut out the base of the skirt, set aside a quarter of your waist measurement in the corner and draw a line. Cut and make a slit for the fastener. All that remains is to cut out the top part. Take 50 centimeters of knitwear, fold the edges towards the center and mark from the fold a quarter of the waist measurement on one side and a quarter of the chest measurement on the other side. Connect the dots with a smooth line and cut out two parts. Sew them on one side. Hide the seam under a strip of leather and finish the top edge. To ensure that the waist line does not stretch and the skirt fits well, it is necessary to secure the upper and lower parts to a belt made from scraps of leather. All that remains is to sew in the zipper.
With this transformer you can change outfits throughout the day. In the morning, unbutton the top and go to work in a skirt, at lunchtime button it up and stay in a sundress, in the evening turn the sundress over, fasten the hem to your shoulders and go to a party in a spectacular minidress.
Lace skirt
Fashionable spring in a lace skirt. Take black lace with a scalloped edge and large flowers for the top layer of the skirt, make the bottom layer from beige cotton satin, and the belt will be wool.
Take two measurements - waist circumference and skirt length. Mark the length of the skirt on a lace fabric one and a half meters long along the scalloped edge and draw a line. Cut out the resulting rectangle. Cut out the same rectangle from satin.
In order to preserve the lace pattern, it needs to be sewn not as usual, but by adjusting the flowers to each other with a zigzag stitch. Sew, leaving room for the fastener. Fold and stitch the satin base. Tuck and hem the hem. Connect the pieces and sew on the zipper.
Make large folds at the waist - four in front and four in back. Cut out the belt - a strip with a length equal to the measurement plus 6 centimeters and a width of 8 centimeters. Reinforce the waistband with non-woven fabric and sew it on.
I think you will find it interesting.
Hello our dear readers! You always want to look fashionable and elegant, but you can’t always find what you want in stores. But you can sew any thing with your own hands, and the question often arises - how to quickly sew a skirt without a pattern? You don’t need much for this, and before running to the shops or ordering from a studio, you can do all this yourself. You may not be an experienced seamstress or a professional, but just a lot of imagination and desire and you will get your own individual, beautiful and wonderful skirt.
Where to begin?
Whatever model you sew, you need to prepare tools and materials for manufacturing. You will need:
- textile;
- zipper, if provided in the model;
- scissors;
- pen;
- sewing pins;
- sewing machine;
- threads;
- tape measure;
- elastic band - also, if required by model.
And so we bought the fabric and chose a model. Now you can give free rein to your imagination. To begin with, choose a simple and stylish pencil skirt.
The cut of the pencil skirt
To sew a beautiful skirt that will fit well on your figure, you can use old skirt. You can rip it apart at the seams, or simply apply it to the fabric.
For sewing such a model, stretchy fabric is more suitable - knitwear, stretch. Fold the fabric in half inside out, attach the template skirt and trace it with chalk.
The length is optional, you can leave it the same, or you can adjust it at your discretion.
Pencil skirt
Advice. For accuracy, secure the fabric with sewing pins so that it does not “move out”.
We outline the skirt with chalk and cut out the blank, while not forgetting to leave allowances for the seams.
To make the skirt narrower at the bottom, slightly narrow the bottom and slightly remove the wedges from the sides. And again, to avoid deformation of the product, it is better to lightly baste it by hand and then sew it on a machine.
Sew side seams. We cut the elastic according to the waist circumference, maybe a couple of centimeters less so that the skirt holds well, and sew it to the top of the skirt.
All that remains is to hem the product from below and try on your masterpiece.
Floor-length summer skirt, without pattern
Very light and airy fabrics are suitable for this model; it is hot in summer, the skirt should be loose. To sew it we will need the following measurements:
- WC (waist circumference);
- OB (hip circumference);
- DI (product length).
If we sew full skirt, then the waist circumference should be multiplied by 1.3-1.5 (there are standard measurements when sewing products), and a more curvaceous one by 1.6-2. The resulting number is the width of the fabric, and the length is the length of the skirt, plus 4-7 cm for allowances.
We lay out the fabric, put the resulting measurements on the fabric, cut it out, not forgetting to make seam allowances of 1-1.5 cm. You need to make a basting with your hands so that the fabric does not move, and then sew it on a machine, but not to the edge. You need to make a belt at the top and put an elastic band into it. We tuck the top of the skirt by 0.7-1 cm, and then another width of the elastic, stitch and thread the elastic. Don't forget to stitch the bottom of the skirt.
Advice. To give your product individuality, the skirt can be decorated with rhinestones, embroidery, ribbons. Imagine, and the product will be unsurpassed.
Wrap skirt
This model is characterized by the fact that it can be worn both after gaining weight and losing weight. This skirt has a variable waist circumference. For comfortable wearing, it is enough to adjust the length of the belt, change the button to the place where you need it.
In fashion, the asymmetry of the product is often visible, and this is not the case with skirts. Here we can develop our wild imagination; there are a huge number of models. The main thing is that there are no exact measurements here and you can deal with it very quickly.
We sew a youth miniskirt. To sew it you will need to do the following:
- Measure the volume of the hips at the most protruding point and the length of the finished skirt.
- Prepare a piece of fabric the width of your hips and the length of the product.
- Fold and finish the edges.
- Now wrap the fabric around your waist, lower the outer edge 5-6 cm lower and secure with sewing pins.
- Make a loop and sew on a button.
- Can be decorated with rhinestones and embroidery.
How to quickly sew a skirt without a pattern: straight skirt
The model of such a skirt always emphasizes the figure. Every woman should have such a skirt in her wardrobe, especially since you and I know how to sew, and we’ll quickly sew it together. Everything is very simple. A novice dressmaker can sew such a model in half an hour. To do this you will need the following measures:
- waist circumference;
- hip girth;
- length of the product.
Take a piece of fabric, fold it inside out, and secure the fabric with pins. We measure the semicircle of the waist, the semicircle of the hips, the length of the skirt, put marks and add 5–6 cm to them for a loose fit.
First we baste and then machine sew the side seams. We bend the top of the skirt by 1 cm, and then by the width of the elastic and insert the elastic.
We bend the bottom, you can process it manually, or you can use a machine. That's all. Another model has appeared in your wardrobe.
Fashionable skirt in boho style
With each new model we gain more experience and skills. We continue our experiments.
Nowadays it is very fashionable to wear skirts in the boho style. What is their feature? If we translate the name of this style, it sounds like this – “ bohemian chic" The main direction here is freedom, a non-standard image. The base includes sun-shaped skirts, squares, wedges, etc. We will make a simple boho skirt from a square.
Skirt - boho
To sew a skirt you need fabric and elastic. It consists of one square with a hole in the middle and four rectangles.
Our standard here will be like this. If you are 1.60 tall, then you need to cut a square with sides 105 cm by 105 cm.
In the middle, cut a circle based on the waist circumference plus a loose fit of 10-15 cm if with an elastic band, and tightly without allowances if with a belt with a zipper.
We cut out a circle inside the square, sewed on a belt and a zipper or elastic band. Then we cut out four rectangles, the length of two sides should be equal to the side of the square (105 cm), and the other two should be about 30 cm.
Sew together long sides rectangle and square, and then the short sides of the rectangle together, overcast the bottom of the product.
That's it, another new one of yours stylish skirt ready.
Knitted skirt
Sometimes novice dressmakers are afraid to sew products from knitwear, they don’t know how it will behave when sewing. Sewing from knitted fabric is not that difficult. Now we will sew a knitted skirt very quickly. To do this we need:
- Knitted fabric, the side of which is equal to the length of the skirt plus seam allowance. Typically, knitwear has a standard width of 140 cm, plus 10 cm for the width of the waistband.
- Zipper 20-25 cm.
- Button or hook.
- Of course, a sewing machine.
To make it easier for us to sew, we can use our old skirt instead of a pattern. It should be unzipped and you will have a great pattern for your skirt. And since the simple model of the skirt has almost the same front and back parts, and we sew it from knitwear that stretches, we take the part that is a little larger.
We fold the fabric in half, secure it with pins and outline the skirt with chalk. Leave a 1.5 cm seam allowance on each side and cut out the skirt. Leave 3-5 cm for processing the bottom. We try it on, adjust the fit and start sewing.
First, you need to sweep it by hand so that the product does not deform anywhere. Then we sew the side seams.
On the left side we leave space for a zipper. Sew on the belt. It should be a couple of centimeters longer than the top of the skirt so that the button can be sewn on.
Attaching the zipper. On the back side of the belt, where it will be a little longer, we sew on a button, and on the front side we make a loop.
The bottom of the skirt can be sewn by machine or by hand. It is imperative to steam all the seams on the skirt with an iron, first from the wrong side and then from the front.
That's all, our skirt is ready. Since the knitwear has a little stretch, it will fit perfectly on your figure.
And what, my dear novice dressmakers, it turns out that to the question of how to quickly sew a skirt without a pattern, finding the answer is not at all difficult. The main thing is desire, imagination and in your wardrobe there will always be the most beautiful, fashionable and stylish clothes, because it is sewn by your hands.

A straight silhouette skirt without a pattern in the safari style is sewn on the basis of a classic skirt. If you have basic sewing skills, you can easily complete this task.
Although this skirt does not require any construction or patterns, it will fit your body perfectly. For sewing, we need to know only two measurements: FOB (1/2 hip circumference) and DU (skirt length).
I took the following measurements as a basis:
FOB – 48 cm + 2 cm (increase for average fit) = 50 cm.
DU – 66 cm.
To sew a skirt we will need the following materials and tools:
Fabric: width 90 cm, length 150 cm.
Flat elastic band width 4 cm, length 50 cm.
There are two types of threads: 1 – in the color of the fabric for internal seams, 2 – more light color for stitching finishing seams.
Scissors, chalk, centimeter, needles and sewing machine.
To make it easier for me to explain and easier for you to understand, I drew a schematic pattern; it is optional, since we will do the rest of the construction directly on the fabric.
1
As shown in the figure, the skirt consists of three parts (without increases or allowances):
A. Front part (1 piece) – 20 cm by 66 cm. 20 cm – based on 0.4 * ½ OB (0.4 * 50 = 20 cm). 66 cm – length of the skirt.
B. Back part (2 parts) – 40 cm by 66 cm.
S. Pocket (2 parts) – 20 cm x 20 cm x 17 cm.
25 cm – length of the back cut of the skirt.
Dotted line - will be needed if you want the skirt to taper a little towards the bottom, and 3 cm is the maximum taper size (usually 1 - 3 cm).
Laying out the pattern on fabric with allowances:
2
Since the elastic will be inside the waistband of the skirt, to our preliminary pattern at the top you need to add 5 cm for the elastic and for the hem: 1 cm if we tuck it or 0.5 cm if we process it with an overlocker.
The bottom of the skirt (hem) add 3 cm for the hem and 1 cm for the hem.
Vertical seam allowance 2 cm, back seam allowance 3 cm.
Part A is a rectangle measuring 24 cm by 76 cm.
Parts B – 2 rectangles measuring 45 cm by 76 cm.
Parts C – 2 rectangles measuring 25 cm by 23 cm.
3
We start sewing the skirt from the back seam (allowance 3 cm). Using a sewing machine, we sew together parts B starting from the top without stitching the cut 25 cm + 4 cm = 29 cm from the bottom.
We bend the hem and iron a 3 cm hem + 1 cm hem and process the cut at the back as shown in the photo.
4
Pockets – rectangular trapezoid.
We turn the bottom side 1 cm and iron it, the right side (short - 17 cm) we turn it 1 cm and iron it, left-hand side(long - 20 cm) - will be sewn into the front seam, fold the top side at an angle of 3 cm with a turn of 3 cm + 1 cm hem and sew a double finishing seam.
In the photo, the left pocket is a mirror image of the right one.
5
Sew pocket C to side B on one side and the other of the skirt. Dotted line finishing double stitches.
6
We sew parts B with the front part A together using vertical seams with a 2 cm allowance.
7
We fold the upper part of the skirt and iron it 5 cm tuck + 1 cm hem. The twist is in detail B we put it on sewing machine finishing stitch. We leave the front part A unstitched.
8
We insert an elastic band 4 cm wide through the front of the skirt into the waistband. At this stage, be sure to adjust its length in relation to the waist.
9
Securely secure the ends of the elastic into the seams of the skirt. The photo shows the blue dotted line.
10
Topstitch the front of the skirt at the waist.
Hem the bottom of the skirt. Either with a hand blind stitch or simply fold it over and sew it on a sewing machine.

A straight silhouette skirt without a pattern in safari style is ready!
Sew and wear with pleasure!
Seamless circle skirt closure
If you are experienced enough, make a cut for the zipper. Processed in a similar way. First, glue the cut area (vertically) with any adhesive material, matching your fabric. Then stitch a facing in this place for the cut in the form of a strip 3-4 cm wide, slightly longer than the length of the zipper. Sew the cutting line with two parallel lines, bringing them to the end in the form of a corner. The distance between parallel lines is approximately 0.5 cm. Cut along the middle line, sweep and iron the facing. And only then sew the zipper into the resulting cut under the facing allowances.
Lined skirt
Its main advantage is the aesthetics of the inside and additional hygienic properties. Thanks to the lining, the skirt fits better, the lines of the underwear are not “printed”, the skirt does not stick to the legs, and the outer fabric retains the shape of the product longer. When cutting linings from non-stretchable fabrics, the required allowance for loose fitting is + 2 cm to the OB (hip circumference). If the fabric is elastic, then a loose fitting allowance is not needed.To prevent the lining from riding up when walking, it must be tacked to the side seam allowances of the skirt.
Multi-layered or tiered skirts can be sewn without lining. Otherwise, the design of the latter will turn out to be too cumbersome. Or go for a short, knee-length A-line lining for a long tiered skirt.
pleated skirt
If there are folds on the front panel of the skirt, then they need to be folded into the lining as well. Connect the lining to the skirt along the upper sections, and then sew on the belt. Finish the inner section of the belt with bias tape made from lining fabric.
If the fabric is dense or voluminous, it is better not to put folds on the lining, but instead make darts. Fold the cut of the inner belt and sew it by machine or by hand into the stitching seam. You can leave the cut open and edge it with bias tape, or process it using an overlocker.
Pencil skirt
Sewing a pencil skirt is easy. But there is one feature that you will probably encounter. Sometimes a pencil skirt rides up when worn, to avoid this, you need to “release” a little fabric from the seam along the hips, about 0.3-0.5 cm. This happens in narrow models, they “ask” where it is looser, that is, i.e. up. If the skirt only forms small wrinkles in the hip area and does not cause inconvenience, then you can leave it unchanged.
Lace skirt
It is better to sew a lace skirt with one seam (at the back). To make a skirt without seams on the sides, glue the patterns of the front and back halves together on the sides. You will get a skirt with one seam and 6 darts. Two additional darts are formed instead of side seams. Take the proven straight skirt pattern as a basis. Thoroughly compare the dimensions of the pattern with yours, make the appropriate adjustments, and only then glue the pattern and cut the skirt. To be on the safe side, sew a sample.
: Master Class
You can sew a lace skirt with side seams, but then you will have to match the pattern on the lace fabric. IN in this case material consumption will be greater than that of a single-seam model.The lace base also serves as a lining. It reaches the top edge of the scallops. The lace skirt is connected to the lining along the upper sections. They also attach the lining to the side and back seams of the skirt. The ideal fabric for lining in this case is silk.

Check skirt
Large checkered fabric tends to give the figure additional volume. But if it is placed on the bias and the skirt has tails, then this effect can be avoided. The yoke will emphasize the waist, and below the volume will be hidden by a bias cut. Cut the yoke along the lobar and not very wide, no more than 20 cm.
Skirts made from loose fabrics
A skirt made of fabrics such as boucle, Chanel, or matting requires strengthening the place where the zipper is sewn in, and the details of the inner and outer belts with non-woven fabric. For example, H410 is thread-stitched, it stretches less. You can also use doublerin.The end of the cut in the seam of the skirt must be reinforced with a “patch” of adhesive before stitching the seam to avoid tearing the fabric and diverging the seam.
: Master Class
Hemming the bottom of the skirt
If there is not enough fabric for the desired length, sew a thin fabric of a suitable color to the bottom edge of the skirt. Turn back the stitched hem so that the main fabric extends 1 mm onto the wrong side of the skirt, iron it well. Then hem by hand, or topstitch along the edge of the hem.You can also use for hems special tape.

Universal petticoat
It is best to sew one from thin knitwear. According to the OB (hip circumference) measurement, cut out a rectangle of the required length. Sew it with one seam. Topstitch the bottom or use a false hem. Make the top with a drawstring and insert an elastic band into it around the waist.Yoke skirt
In skirt models with a yoke, the function of darts is performed by the yoke itself. To maintain the shape of the skirt at the waist, duplicate both parts of the yoke with collar calico (adhesive for collars and corsets). Or use . Stitch it to the seam allowances of the yoke. Or make drawstrings from the allowances and insert strips of regilin into them.
- The facing for processing the upper cut of the skirt is always glued.
- It is best to sew a maternity skirt from denim like a sundress - with straps. Or on a knitted yoke, as for the tummy denim doesn't fit.
- The bottom of a classic skirt and skirts made of woolen fabrics is hemmed by hand. It is necessary to capture only 1-2 surface fibers, and not to pierce the fabric with a needle through. And don’t pull the thread too tight when hemming the bottom of the skirt.
- To determine how much fabric to use for a bias-cut flared skirt, take some fabric, such as a sheet, and lay out the pattern on it. This way you can determine how much fabric you need to buy.
- If the skirt model was supposed to be made of a plain fabric, and there is no mark on the pattern for matching the check, match the check starting from the bottom of the product.
