DIY MIDI SKIRT: Make your own midi skirt from scratch 

Thank you so much for the helpful advice!

Thank you so much! Hope it works out for you 🥰

I’m a newbie too, definitely give it a go 😊 I bought 1.5m X 1m

Also I highly recommend buying sheets thrifted as well

Same!

Yes I found this too. I’m using rayon which moves around a bit. Because this fabric is bias cut (across the grain) it will stretch even if it’s not a stretchy fabric. Helps if you pin both long edges of the triangle in place so it doesn’t move around as much. Or maybe iron the fabric if it’s really wrinkly. It is tricky though …

@@dannisefu2539 Same! Frustrating. :(

Thank you so much, good luck with it! Hope you’ll love your new skirt 🥰

I think it's because she has the elastic folded in half when she cuts it. So if you don't fold it in half to cut and measure it should be your waist measurement minus 2 cm (I think...)

Thank you, good luck! 🤍

Thank you!

Thank you!! It’s probably not as hard as you think it is, definitely give it a go!! 💛

@@SuiZaathang thank you I will definitely try this! 🤗

Thank you 🤍🤍

Thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you, your girls will love it!

Kaa lawm tuk!! 🥰🥰❤️❤️

Yay!! Good luck ❤️

Heyy, thank you for stopping by 🥰 I’ll try to look into that, I’m still a newbie with sewing too 😁

Awww thank you!! Love you ❤️❤️ still learning, hopefully I’ll get better hihi

Thank you hehe ❤️❤️

I don't know if you're still looking for an answer but usually when I see people using this technique it's to help the fabric not fray

Thanks lovely! The fabric I used was Rayon 😊💛

@@SuiZaathang Ahh thankyou so much xx

@@SuiZaathang Looks lovely! Where do you find Rayon fabric?

@@joshfrauenfelder324 I just got it from my local fabric store :)

You can try with a stretchy fabric too!! Whatever you prefer 😊

@@SuiZaathang ok thank you!

Hey, the fabric is rayon :)

@@SuiZaathang thank you

Hey, it was a bit tight so you kinda have to squeeze into it but if it’s not tight then once it’s on your waist it would be too loose again haha! But yes I did stretch the elastic a bit when sewing and I think that definitely helps ☺️

@@SuiZaathang thanks!😃 Ok 😃😁 can you do a video with a invisible zip? Or have you already done one? Thanks 😊 Can you do an international giveaway soon? Can I have a shout out in your next video? (As Alicia Lima who is 12 )thanks again 😅😆😁 I would really love one!

Haha cutie!! 🥰 I’m still a beginner 😅😅

Measure from your waist to your ankles (or wherever you want your skirt to end). When you’ve cut the top section, that is, the opening for your waist, don’t cut the bottom section. Sew the long edge together and the elastic as shown and when you’ve done this pin the fabric up measuring the top of the skirt to ankle measurement. (This might be messy as there’ll be lots of spare fabric). You could just cut your waist to ankle measurements plus 2 cm for the hem but this won’t allow for bum and hips especially for more shapely women which would shorten the skirt once you’ve put it on, so I’d only cut once you adjust the pins to get the length you want. Cut there but remember to allow 2cm extra for the bottom hem. I hope this helps!

Rayon 😊

How did it stretch over your hips? If the fabric has no stretch should I cut the opening at my hip measurement?

@@rubymaggard1607 the elastic waist band helps to get it over your hips 😊

Thank youu 🥰❤️

Awww good luck lovely ❤

The fabric I got is rayon 😊

Nope, the fabric I used is not stretchy

@@SuiZaathang how did you get the fabric tostretch with the elastic? did you sew in a zipper?

@@kun1827 you have to kind of pull the elastic as you sew it on to the skirt (not too hard, just a bit), I didn’t put a zipper on (not skilled enough for this yet haha)

1m X 1.5m (width) ☺️
