We sew a wide skirt on an elastic band

Let's start with the simplest - with the "Tatyanka." There is nothing easier, than to sew a skirt in a floor the hands from a rectangular cloth. To sew this thing, do not even need a pattern! We will calculate the fabric: for this it is necessary to measure the volume of the hips and the desired length. Girls with a thigh size of up to 100 cm will have a width of 150 m - this is the standard width of the fabric. To the length of the skirt, we add 15 centimeters - for processing the lower edge and gum. The first thing we will take care of the upper edge: we make a bend of 10 cm and attach a typewriter. We will lay two or three more seams. We grind the back seam, process the slices. Using a pin, stretch the rubber bands and sew their edges (manually). It remains to pile the bottom, and the skirt is ready!

Multi-tiered skirt with your own hands

With such a model, it's a little more difficult to handle. But it is not necessary to be frightened, after all numerous folds will hide small errors. To sew a skirt on the floor with your own hands, you do not need to make a pattern. The main thing is to take the measurements correctly. Tiers can be from three to seven. First, we calculate their height: the length of the product divided into a number of tiers (do not forget about the allowance for seams!) The volume of the hips is multiplied by one and a half - this is the width of the upper tier. Each subsequent tier should be longer than the previous one and a half times, then the skirt will turn out beautiful and comfortable to wear. That the thing turned out neat, you have to sweep the frills first and only after that scribbling. In the upper part of the skirt we sew the elastic band.

A skirt-six-wedge

Sewing such a skirt with your own hands - the task is more complicated. Have to use a pattern. We will build it ourselves. This will require the same measurements: the length of the product, the volume of the hips and the waist. First, draw a vertical line equal to the desired length of the skirt. Perpendicular to it (from above) we draw a line. Its length is as follows: the waist is divided by 6 and +2 cm. Similarly draw a segment at the level of the hips: divide the length of the hips by 6 and add 2 cm. Through the ends of the lines we draw the lines to the bottom of the skirt. Pattern is ready, you can cut. Before striking, in the left side sew a zipper. The top part of the skirt can be simply bent and stitched, and can be processed with the help of obtachki.
