Steps to Make Your Skirt
1. Before you begin your sewing, pre wash your
fabric to allow for shrinking and then press (Iron) your fabric to remove the
wrinkles. Suggested fabrics for this skirt are: cotton knits, jersey, sweater
knits, and other knits.
2. Open you pattern
package and cut out the skirt pattern pieces. We are walking you through skirt
C and you will need pattern pieces 1, 2 and 3.
Now you are ready to
pin your pattern pieces onto your fabric.
3. Lay your fabric down on the table and pull each
side to the middle with RIGHT SIDES together. In the video we have pulled each
side to the middle separately so you could see it clearly.
Use skirt pattern piece 1 (front of the skirt) and
place solid line on the fold of fabric. Pin the pattern 1 to the fabric and cut.
(Cut one on fold)
Use skirt pattern piece 2 (back of the skirt) and
place solid line on the fold of fabric. Pin the pattern 2 to the fabric and
cut. (Cut one on fold)
Also cut out pattern piece 3 for the casting from
your fabric.
Skirt Sewing Steps
1. Start with the skirt; with RIGHT SIDE lay the
front and the back together and pin. Double Stitch a 5/8" seam allowance
down the sides.
2. Stitch the ends of your casing together with
RIGHT SIDES facing one another. The seam you create will be the center back of
your skirt.
3. With wrong sides' together fold in half matching
notches, press and baste raw edges together.
4. Pin casing to upper edge of skirt, with seam in
the center back, stretching casing to fit. Hand baste the casing to the skirt
to have better control with you stitch on the machine.
Stitch a double stitched seam and then press your
seam allowances toward skirt.
5. Cut a piece of 1" elastic to put into your
casing. Put a safety pin on the end of your elastic and work through the opening
in your casing. Hold it with a safety pin and try the skirt on and adjust if
necessary. Stitch the ends of elastic and let it go into the casing. Slipstitch
opening edges together.
6. Hem the bottom of your skirt. To create a narrow hem tuck under raw edge to meet crease, press, and stitch your hem in place.
