Polka Dot Cottage: I like my skirts fast and cheap: a tutorial Posted April 14th, 2008 by Lisa So, I went ahead and did it. It only took about 1/2-hour, and used up 1/4 of a sheet I had thrifted for $4. Quick and inexpensive – just the way I like it Would you like to know how to make your own fun and full Spring skirt? It’s pretty easy. Here’s what you need: twin-size flat sheet (72″x104″)yard stickwashout cloth markerscissorssewing machinethread to coordinate with the sheetiron1/2-inch or 1/4-inch elastic to fit comfortably around your waist Cut out the fabric: Determine how long you want your skirt to be, and add 1.5 inches to that number. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise and spread it out. You should now have a single piece of cloth, 72″ x X”. Sew it together: Fold in half, right sides together, so the two selvage edges meet. Make the elastic casing: Fold the raw edge at the top of the tube over 3/4″ and press. Stitch along the inner edge of the fold all the way around the top of the skirt, leaving about a 1-inch opening near the seam. Enjoy: Like this:

Pleated skirt (with instructions) I made up another skirt on the weekend, this time from scratch: I have been seeing these pleated skirts everywhere, and I wanted to make one myself. If you’re smarter than me, you can probably find a pattern that tells you how to do this, but I have a weird aversion to patterns. First, I cut a large square of fabric for each piece. If you are unsure how to make pleats, you basically just sew in seams. Then I did the same thing to the other piece and sewed the side seams together, leaving about 6″ on one side for a zipper. Then I sewed in the zipper. I added the waistband by creating a kind of bias tape strip. That is used for a hook and eye closure.

HANDKERCHIEF SKIRT A handkerchief pointed-hem skirt is flattering to all, but especially for short-legged people because the points break up that horizontal hemline. No pattern is needed to make this skirt style. It is a simple block layout. One easy way to get that effect is to hem two squares of fashion fabric, each having four points (called a “handkerchief” hem) and layer them for an eight-pointed look. You will need: 2 ½ yds. of fashion fabric, 45″ wide1 yd. of waist band elastic, 1″ wideCoordinating thread10 yds. of flat ribbon braid (optional) The size of the circular opening should be just big enough to pull over your hips, and can then be tightened with elastic. Cut 2 squares of fabric doubled the finished length. Place template in center of square and trace out. * TIP: Increase or decrease the circle by 1/8″ to change the overall total circumference measurement by 1/2″. Like this: Like Loading...

Tumbler Skirt Tutorial I came up with the Tumbler Skirt. First, I want to show you how I cut the tumbler blocks. The light in my kitchen was awful that day, so excuse the crap-tacular photos. Then I gave it a quick press with the iron. My tumbler die looks like this: I’m going to place my fabric right on top of the outline you can see vaguely. Then I put my cutting mat on top. The verdict on cutting 6 layers of fabric at once? If you want to make your own Tumbler Skirt, you’ll need to measure the waist of the intended wearer, and round up to the nearest multiple of 3”. You’ll need double that number for your 2nd tier. You’ll need double the 2nd tier number for your 3rd tier. And so on and so on and so on. My top tier was 9 tumblers. Sew the blocks for each tier together (1/4” seams), small sides up. The finished bottom width on each tumbler is 6”, aka double the finished top width. Install your zipper and have the wearer try it on. Have the wearer try it on again. It’s super twirly, too.
Pop Couture | La couture gratuite ! Tiered Skirt Tutorial : : Kuky Ideas I made another skirt for Isabelle using 3 Peas tiered skirt tutorial. She no longer has her blog so I asked her permission to post her tutorial here. Supplies needed: Fabric: a total of 1 1/2 to 2 yards of cotton of your choice (plenty for girls’ sizes), for a lady’s skirt you will have to do some simple math based on the dimensions of the strips we calculate in a bit; I’d say 2 1/2 yards should be plenty, but don’t hold me to that! NotesAll seam allowances are 5/8″.The things I did differently are in red. Step 1: Measure the waist and hips (in inches) of the intended wearer. For example: peri has a waist measurement of approximately 20″ and the finished skirt should be about 13″ long. A=20 B=4.5 (after rounding up) Step 2: (sorry to bring algebra into the picture) (A x 1.5) + 1.5 = _____ “C” Again, you can round your answer a little, this is not an exact science. Example: C=31.5 Step 3: You will cut 2 strips to make the top tier. C divided by 2 = ____ width of each strip Sewing the Skirt 1. 2.
