In addition to beauty, this skirt has one more important advantage: it's not hard to sew. To make a petticoat skirt with your own hands it takes quite a bit of time and effort, the main thing is to follow a simple instruction.
You will need
- • Fabric and accessories for sewing skirts
- • Tape measure
- • Ruler
- • Scissors
- • Portnovsky chalk
- • Sewing pins and needles
- • Sewing machine
- • Iron with steamer
Instructions
1
First, take out the measurements. It will take only 2 measurements: waist volume and length of the product. Take care that the centimeter tape, with which it is measured, does not sag. The length of the product is measured from the waist line to the intended bottom of the skirt. For convenience, you can designate a waist line with a braid. Do not forget to record the results of measurements.
2
Now we need to proceed to the pattern. To make it very simple: the pattern of the skirt-half-sun is a design of two semicircles, the smaller radius R1 is the waist girth, the larger radius R2 is the length of the skirt + the distance from the edge to the waist line.
3
Make the necessary calculations. First, calculate the radius of the smaller semicircle R1. According to the formula, the circumference is L = 2πR. Since the semi-sun skirt is half the circumference, it means that in our case, with a known measure of waist circumference (OT), the formula looks like this: 2ОТ = 2πR1, cut the numbers and calculate the radius. Get the result: R1 = ОТ / π. Where π - a known number denoting the ratio of the circumference and diameter in mathematics and equal to 3.14159265 ... Conclusion: the radius of the smaller circumference of the skirt pattern is equal to the volume of the waist divided by the number of π. The radius of the larger circle is calculated simply: the length of the skirt (CI) is added with a smaller radius R1 .
4
When all the calculations are done, you can dopattern directly on the fabric. If the fabric does not have a clear direction of the pattern, you can completely simplify the task by making just one seam on the skirt. When cutting, the fabric is folded in half so that the distance on both sides of the rectangle is not less than R1 + R2 + 7cm (on the seam on one side and the hem of the bottom on both sides).
5
The next step is to cut the details of the skirt with scissors. It is necessary to follow strictly dotted lines of allowances at the seams. On the line of sewing lightning, grasp the seam of the skirt. Razyuzhte him vzrabezhku and sew a zipper-clasp.
6
Take the adhesive fabric for the corsages cut outa strip. Its length should be equal to a double-folded belt. This strip needs to be pressed against the underside of the belt, and then stitch it from the sides and turn it out. Fold in half and iron.
7
Before fitting the waistband to the skirt, lightlyprisosadite it on the waist with a stitch with a wide stitch. Alternatively, you can lay a manual straight stitch with a needle and gently pull the thread. So the skirt will be better to sit on the figure. Attach the front side of the belt (the one to which the interlining is glued) to the skirt and stitch the seam. Try not to allow wrinkles on the line. Attach the inner side of the belt to any suitable method for this fabric.
8
The hem of the folding of the skirt must be fitted with a hand seamor a wide machine stitch. The inflection must be swept inside out and ironed. Make sure that the bottom line is not twisted. Finally, sew the hem by hand, with a hidden seam, machine straight stitch or bending seam. Final touch - make a loop on the belt and sew a button.
9
To make the process of sewing a skirt-half-suneasier, you can make a belt for her on an elastic band. You do not have to cut out the belt from the fabric, insert a secret zipper into the skirt. When measuring, you need to take the value of half-hip to the hips, so that the skirt was easier to put on. To make such a skirt measure yourself with a rubber band waist circumference with a small tightening, cut off the necessary piece of elastic with allowance for allowances. Then this part of the elastic is sewn into a ring and sewn to the skirt. The allowances are ironed on the skirt and processed by a zigzag. At the end of the creation of the skirt-half sun, you need to process it with a seam in the hem or double the hem (do not forget to lay the necessary length for the cut-off for the cut).
10
A half-sunny skirt in the floor will look veryfeminine and elegant. For cutting a skirt 1 meter long you will need 2.2 meters of fabric. In this case, the share thread will go to the left vertically, and the fold of the fabric - from above horizontally. You can even cut the pattern without folding, but this will require a lot of space for the fabric. Pattern of the skirt is made directly on the fabric, cut out. It will be good to give her a couple of days to hang on the clothespins, stretch out. Then the side seams of the skirt are sewn together, the belt is sewn. The bottom of the skirt must be processed by double-folding.
11
Sew a skirt-half-sunny skew, at first glance,it's easy, but there are some nuances. It is important to correctly connect cut at oblique edges. Make sure that the top edge does not stretch in relation to the bottom: the center of the skirt will be located oblique at an angle of 45 degrees, and the side seams will be directed in different directions. One edge of the skirt has a share direction, and the second - a transverse one. When sewing, one of the parties will "sit down", and in assembled form it will be longer than the second.
12
If the skirt is made of thin, plastic fabric, there isrisk that its central line will sag. And you can notice this only by wearing a ready-made skirt. To avoid this, well sweep the side seams before sewing them on the typewriter. Hanging on the center of the skirt edges need to be cut, after the product is dependent for 1-2 days. It is especially difficult to align fabrics with satin weave. Such skirts should hang at least 2 days on a hanger or hooks.
