Hi! Im in love with the way you made the skirt! I have about the same measurements as you but the fabric I have doesn’t cover even half the width needed for the last tier. Even if I get extra fabric (45 in width each) I barely make it! Any advice would be helpful!🥺🥺🥺
@@Mindfulmae Yeah that's pretty much it. It's about four yards in length but 45 inches in width. With two, it would only be 84-90 inches combined. I really want it to be flowy but do you think I might have to cut the measurments in half?
@@Butterfly_Princess264 I think that’s your best bet to cut the amount in half. It would still be cute not as flowy! Sometimes I wish mine was less puffy. I love the look of a tiered skirt that sits a little closer to the body 🤗
Thanks alot Mae. I enjoyed watching this. I wish I had a space like this. I'm a fan. I used one of your skirt tutorial to make a couple of skirts for myself...it was so easy.
@@Mindfulmaeyou're welcome 😊. I should be the one thanking you actually. It was your tutorial on diy midi skirt with 1yard of fabric. I stumbled on your channel last year shortly after I got my sewing machine and was looking for easy styles to replicate and that skirt was perfect for me. I was so excited that I was able to make it but I didn't put the slit. I'm sorry I didn't come back to comment last year. I even shared the link to that skirt with my friend's daughter who just got a sewing machine last month. Thank you again😊
@@Mindfulmae yes I do 😀. I actually just started about a week ago. Honestly I never knew youtube was this hard. I've only been able to upload just 2videos since I started and I'm not proud of the quality
@@kone.handmade It is a commitment! I would encourage you to just start with what you have! I have never had high quality equipment but I don’t let that stop me! Maybe someday I can upgrade, but everyone has to start somewhere! As long as you enjoy it, keep making videos!!
Oh my gosh, I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel! Thank you for your clear description on taking your own measurements, I always feel like I mess that part up 😅 Beautiful skirt! I'm excited to try making one once I find the right fabric from the second hand store! Thank you from a fellow Mae!
Hey! Love this, it really helped me to understand how to sew these types of straps and neck lines. Do you have a video where you explain how to do this with adjustable straps? 😊
Placement of straps can't be same width, back distance between straps should be 1/2" wider than front on either side, this way straps stay in place without falling...
Is it okay to make the circles in halves? Like to make the most of the fabric i have i would like to cut each tier half half and then sew to make the circle. Sorry if i didnt explain myself well, english is not my first language. Thank you for the tutorial!
Can I use my widest hip/butt measurement instead of my waist? A common problem with skirts and dresses for me is that the waist fits, but the skirt looks oddly fitted at my butt. Thanks! 😊
Hey just an idea, it looks like your sewing machine likes to fight with you while sewing 💔 Get a silicone- nonstick mat for cooking and place it under, I think that'll really help! Not that you asked, don't mind me trying to be helpful 🙈
I love that idea! That’s so helpful! My machine does like to move away from me while I’m sewing 😅 probably because it’s made of plastic. Thank you Emily!
The other videos i saw were really complicated and didnt tell how to adjust the sizing and it overwhelmed me into thinking i couldnt do this. Thank you sooo much this tutorial was literaly like a fresh breath of air.
SEW 2 rows of basting stitches (long, loose stitches, either by machine or by hand) and pull the fabric to the desired length, spacing the gathers as evenly as you can for all around gathers. Not difficult to explain!!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I've been searching for hours for a tutorial because I saw the exact same dress on Pinterest & thought "I could totally make that" ha! Thank you so much for the video, detailed instructions, and suggestions at the end.
I loved this video so much! After all this time, it was fun to see the whole process in summary. Thanks so much for the shout out - that was very kind of you! ❤
