How to sew a skirt with a smell: ways, constructing a pattern with a description
A wrap skirt can be harmoniously combined withthings of almost all styles: from classic to ethnic. The main thing to consider is the fabric it is made of, as well as the skirt model itself. Therefore, when starting to sew such a skirt, you need to think carefully about what and on what occasions you will wear it. And depending on this, choose the fabric material for it.
Before you start modeling the skirt, you need tocreate a basic pattern, taking into account your measurements. Modeling stage. Today we will dwell in detail on the production of a slightly flared wrap skirt. Calculate the fabric consumption taking into account the chosen skirt model.
Sewing stages. 1. First, you need to sew the darts, then the side seams. 2. The facings of the wrap itself need to be folded to the wrong side and tacked.
3. Next, sew on the belt (its front part).In our case, the belt is cut out from the drawing of the skirt itself, stepping back five centimeters from the waist, we cut it off and get a belt. You can make a rectangle that is equal to the length of the skirt waist.
4.Then you should stitch the bottom of the belt to the top, folding them face to face. 5. Turn the bottom of the belt inside out, then baste. Stitch along the front side using the "groove" method between the product and the belt. If the fabric you have chosen is airy, then simply process the top of the belt with a roller, and then tie it. 6. Let's move on to hemming the skirt. You can process it with an overlock, then tuck it in and go through the topstitching. Or you can simply tuck it in twice and topstitch. Everything will depend on the density of the fabric. Create loops at the necessary points and attach buttons. Stages of constructing a pattern-drawing We construct the pattern based on a 2-seam straight skirt. 1. We will leave such a part as the back without any changes. 2. On the front part of the panel, it is necessary to put aside a segment equal to the size of the wrap (line T1T5) to the right side from point T1. We recommend that this segment covers the dart on the left part of the front panel, so that the product looks more aesthetically pleasing in its finished form. 3. Draw a perpendicular line from T5 downwards until it intersects with the straight line at the bottom. Following the pattern, carefully create roundings of the lower part of the front panel of the skirt.
4.We make a mark for the spreading lines using parallel lines tangent to the central line of the front panel. We make a cut starting from the top to the bottom. Next, we spread the waist line to the required width, taking into account the number of gathers that are supposed to be according to the style. Naturally, the more spreading you do, the more gathers you will get. The dart itself will turn into a gather. 5. We leave the skirt panel located on the left unchanged. Along the level of the dart, there is a straight line of adjoining the edge of the right side, which will cover the dart. Taking into account the style, we round off the bottom of the panel.
Processing technique We assemble on 2 linessewing machines not less than four - five millimeters. We process the edges of the sides with sewn-on facings. To do this, you need to attach the interlining with glue to the inside of the facing. Next, attach the facing and the edge of the facing with the front sides. Stitch with a stitch half a centimeter from the edge itself. Then you need to turn the facing to the wrong side, and then sweep the piping from the side by one millimeter. After this, we proceed to stitching the darts on the back and front left parts of the skirt. Then you need to iron them towards the middle. Connect the seams on the sides. Fold the front and back parts face inward. First baste, and then stitch on a sewing machine. We overcast the seams and fold them in the direction of the panel located at the back. We create a belt on which we make a loop, then sew on a button.
Here is another model of a wrap skirt -a straight skirt with an asymmetrical undercut and draping. This skirt is well suited for those with figures that have different hip configurations. There is an undercut and draping coming out of it on the asymmetrical side. It will be useful for everyday wear, and you can create it from any type of fabric.
Stage of constructing a pattern-drawing We construct a patternbased on a straight skirt. 1. We will leave the back part without any changes. 2. On the front part of the panel, the T1T3 lead is a segment up to the dart on the panel located on the left. We draw a perpendicular line from T3 downwards until it intersects with the straight line at the bottom. Following the pattern, we carefully create roundings of the lower part of the front panel of the skirt, as well as the panel on the left. 3. We make a basting for the yoke trimming lines, then the dart located in the yoke must be closed. 4. We make a basting for the spreading lines using parallel lines tangent to the central line of the front panel. We make a cut starting from the upper part to the lower part. Next, we spread the waist line to the required width, taking into account the gathering under the yoke, which is supposed to be according to the style. 5. We must remove the skirt panel located on the left from the drawing. Along the dart level, there is a straight line of adjoining the edge of the right side, combining the central part to the central part. 6. The lower part of the side should be designed according to the pattern similar to the right element of the half-length. 7. We make a pattern for the belt.
Sewing stages. 1.First, you need to sew the darts, then iron them towards the center. 2. If the back panel has a seam in the middle, it needs to be swept, stitched and ironed. If it is missing, then you need to mark the center line of the panel using stitches or a piece of soap. 3. We assemble on 2 machine lines no less than four - five millimeters. 4. We process the edges of the sides with sewn-on facings. To do this, you need to attach the interlining with glue from the inside of the facing with an iron.
5.Next, attach the facing and the edge of the side with the right sides together. Stitch with a stitching tool half a centimeter from the edge itself. Then press in the direction of the yoke. 6. Connect the seams on the sides. Fold the front and back parts face inward. First baste, then sew on a sewing machine. Overcast the seams and fold in the direction of the panel located at the back.
Let's move on to hemming the skirt.You can overlock it, then fold it over and stitch it. Or you can just fold it over twice and stitch it. Everything will depend on the density of the fabric. At the necessary points, create loops and attach buttons.
That's it. The wrap skirt is ready.
