Sewing a skirt yourself is not only a way to save money, but also an opportunity to create a unique item that will suit only you. Usually, first you need to measure the circumference of the waist and hips, then make darts, sew on a belt and adjust the item to your figure.
But there are some models for which this is not necessary. All you need is a straight piece of fabric. However, the finished skirt will highlight your figure and look great.
Also, the size will be universal for both thin women and women with a larger body. Lately, many things have been sewn in this style.
We will need two skirt lengths.
For size 52, I took two pieces of fabric 120 x 70 cm, where 70 cm is the length of the product. In order not to be mistaken with the size, take a width of 150 cm, it is better to cut off the excess fabric later, it will be used for belts.
How to sew:
1) I stitched the side seams and one side that would be at the waist, turned it under and stitched.
2) I prepared 4 belts, approximately 60-70 cm long.
3) I straightened the canvas and, on the one hand, marked the middle. I set aside 35 cm from it on both sides. At these points I sewed the belts on the wrong side.
4) At this stage, fitting is done. To do this, you need to stand in the circle of the skirt and tie the sewn belts at the back.
5) Then take the fabric in your hands on the sides and pull in different directions. That is, distribute it so that you can wrap it forward. Mark the places where the fold happened with chalk. You regulate everything on yourself.
6) I sewed two more belts to these marks, but from the front side.
All that remains is to hem the hem of the skirt.
How to wear:
- You stand inside the skirt, take two belts that are located at a distance of 70 cm from each other and tie them at the back.
- Then you take the other two belts and tie them in front with a bow, you can make the tie a little lower than the waist.
It will be beautiful if you use two contrasting pieces of fabric or one with a pattern and the other plain.
