yes they are both different, i couldn't find a perfect measurement to make them equally, but in the end both will be sewed with elastic so it will eventually come together to your actual waist, maybe not as neat and equal around. perhaps you can gather the top equally as the lining and from there finish off with the elastic, so it fits perfectly around already. hope this makes sense!
ahh, maybe you can gather with an elastic thread so it's flexible when fitting and walking, actually ideal! or you can try to gather but make it looser when attaching them to the lining, so you still get a puff plus a wider fit at the bottom. hope this helps!
hi! thanks for watching my tutorial :) quick update: please check the description box for the updated outer layer formula! in this video it is wrong and the outcome should be doubled. you can either use the new formula in the description or times 2 your outcome from the formula in the video. excuse! 💖
yes, if you divide the inner layer in 4 parts instead of 1, you can take one quarter to trace the others. this way you can use your fabric more efficiently and place it on different parts if that makes sense!
@@clothesnbits i am also having this issue, is there any way you can explain how to go about making the inner layer into 4 parts rather than one? i'm stumped :(
i might be wrong, but the outer layer waist measurement doesn't really leave any room for stretching if you want to add an elastic. did you double the 11,3? The arc length for the quarter circle for this radius would be 17.74, so the full circle arc is circa 70 which equals your waist. I'm really lost here 😭😭
omg, ur so right! thank you for commenting 🙏 i must have confused myself during the editing part. so, for your outer layer the outcome should be different indeed. it must be doubled in this case. so, your waist times 2 to double it for the elastic waist and then this formula, waist / 2 π = radius example waist 71 cm 1. double waist = 71 x 2 = 142 cm 2. radius = 142 / 2 π = 22.6 cm (approx.)
hi I have a question, I was thinking of making this and actually started and opened the pants but I was thinking of that part of the pants where there is a triangle, you just mixed it with the skirt but I don't really like how it looks like, can I just cut that extra fabric to have a normal skirt view ?
Hi, I have a new pair of pants from my dad. He didn't want to use them. They are bigger than my size. How could I turn them into a skirt if I' m a petite woman?. Greetings from Lilian
hey, if the waistband of the pants is double sided, you could cut a hole on the inner layer and insert an elastic waistband to make the waist fitted. then if you follow the tutorial and make the width a bit smaller it could potentially work out i think :)
Hi, so I have two queries. Firstly, should I sew the whole upper layer, all the sides or leave one ? Second, can't I just use a 5 no stitch and sew the whole edge to make ruffles, how were you able to sew differently? Thank you.
hey, if you mean the outer layer in step 4, yes! all sides need to be connected, so no open sides left. it should look like a big skirt when you connect all sides. for your second question, as long as you can make the stitch loose by widen the length wheel and are able to pull afterwards, it should be ok! the settings can vary per sewing machine and how old they are. and for the whole edges question, you can sew a whole round around the skirt, but if a stitch accidentally breaks during sewing or pulling, it can get messy and you might need to start over. so, sewing the gathered stitches per quarter of the skirt is what i can recommend
sewing by hand is also possible! it just takes longer, but it adds a nice handmade feel to it and can make a garment even more special! in the end it's all about stitching fabric together, so by hand should be possible as well :)
I LOVE your style! Thank you so much for starting with a base layer, so much more realistic! I can't leave home without layers on my legs :P Which outfit was the warmest? I will try to recreate it!
