I tried the skirt last week and it fits like a glove. Perfect! I am a beginner and struggled with the lining so it took me a little longer to sew but it came out very nice! I will definitely make it again but without attaching the lining to the hem.

@GraceyStitches 6 месяцев назад

I’m happy to hear this, especially from a beginner. This proves that my tutorials are beginner-friendly!💃 You did a good job 👏 . Lining takes more time and skills but of course, with consistent practise, you’ll master it in no time. And yes, you do not have to attach them at the hem if you don’t want it all closed up. In fact, that’s easier. Just ensure that the length of the lining is at least 3” shorter than the main length of your skirt. Thanks for the review

@raquelm8655 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! One more question. Can I combine this skirt with your bodice tutorial to make a dress? Should I eliminate the step where you depress the waist by 1/2 inch in the front when doing a dress?

@misspriceless9695 5 месяцев назад

She’s indeed a good teacher ❤

@GraceyStitches 5 месяцев назад

@@raquelm8655 No. When joining the bodice to the skirt, don’t skip that step. You still have to depress the waist of the skirt. However, you may need to adjust your darts so that they’ll align.

@kerenokereke4174 3 года назад

Excellent tutorial. Will try this out. That means this method could also apply to the bodice because of the bust. Can you do a tutorial on that as well.

@GraceyStitches 3 года назад

Hello. I'm glad you like the skirt tutorial. Please try it out. Regarding the bodice, I do not allocate more to the front than the back. All we need for the front bodice is an adequate 'cup' to accommodate the bust and luckily, the front has 2 darts FROM DIFFERRENT DIRECTIONS to help us achieve that cup effect (waist & bust dart)...although we can add up to 2 darts on the skirt to get the bum effect as well... I recently started a series on how to draft different bodice pattern. You can start from here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Seqhhr3IevE.html for the bodice pattern or here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_aU3faW8F9k.html if you want to know more about measurements too.

@glittergwyn Месяц назад

This is great. Do you have a detailed video for trousers? Taking into acc whether the person has a flat bottom or a curvy one? I'm still trying to figure out crotch measurement.

@GraceyStitches 28 дней назад

Unfortunately, I do not have a video on trousers at the moment. However, your best bet for measuring the crotch is to first find your natural waist and tie a rope or tape around it then option 1 - sit on a hard surface chair and measure from your side waist down the chair OR option 2 - stand up straight and measure from your front waist line through your crotch to the back waist line - divide the answer by 2, subtract 1.5" to get the front crotch and add 1.5" to get the back crotch.

Thanks so much for taking your time to explain this video. You've just remove a burden from me now. My question is each time I draft a skirt for a person with big Buttocks the back length is always shorter. What can I do to eliminate that.? Thanks as I await your response

@GraceyStitches 3 года назад

Hello. When the skirt is shorter at the back, this means the bum size is more than average and it needs more room. So, what we do is this: slash and spread at the back hip line. This increases the length of the back and also gives a nice fit.

@faithijeoma552 3 года назад

This tutorial is a life saver.... I am about to work with a hip 50 and waist 34.... Pls how many inches dart should I use. Also before joining the sides together, do I make the front hip 1 inch smaller than the back? Or do I divide the measurement equally?

@GraceyStitches 3 года назад

A 1.5” dart (0.75”) will be okay. Yes, always allocate more to the back hips than the front

@blisswodo9370 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is really enlightening. How will I do the band considering the fact that the front waistline was dropped by 1inch and this will definitely alter the waist measurement in the sense that the waistline is now bigger than the initial waist measurement. Thank you

@GraceyStitches 3 года назад

Hello. Thanks for watching Regarding the band, I have never experienced an excess at the waist and the reasons are: 1. I measure my waist accurately and firmly. I do not add any ease allowance to the waist. 2. Remember that we took some inches away from the zipper area right? That ‘excess’ that could occur at the front as a result of depressing it will make up for what we took away from the back. So it cancels out and your waist band remains firm👌 NB: the waist of the skirt isn’t firm on the mannequin because I used my own waist measurement not the mannequin’s. We share the same hips measurements but I have a bigger waist (I eat a lot 🙈🤣)

@toyomary9584 2 года назад

It is possible to add a band to this pattern with alteration on the waist

@GraceyStitches 2 года назад

Yes. You can cut it straight or better, cut it following the waist line with your desired band height Add seam allowances all round

I'm an extreme beginner to sewing and am a bit confused. For both drafts, you did half of the full measurements so did you cut out four parts of fabric in total? If so, how did the pattern in the front come out so seamless?

The front pattern would be cut on fold while the back pattern will have 2 pieces.

@GraceyStitches Месяц назад

Hello. No, it will not. Usually, the front hips isn't as wide as the back hips because of the buttocks.

@elohoaluya250 2 года назад

Lovely tutorial. When cutting the front you said to get a pencil skirt all we need do is deduct 1 inch from the hip measurement and mark at the hem of the skirt at the side. My question is for the back pattern do we deduct the same one inch at the side or center back

Hello ma, thanks for this tutorial. Can we use this method when making the “skirt part” of a gown?

@GraceyStitches 3 года назад

Definitely ! Please go ahead. Your result will be perfect. As long as the dress has a fitted skirt part, this is what I use. Even for A-line skirts, I use this pattern. I just transfer the darts to make it wider at the hem

Thank you for this detailed tutorial been having issues with my skirt. Please I'd like to ask if the tips you mentioned here can be applied when making a fitted/pencil trouser?

You're welcome. I wouldn't use this method for trouser.
