Every woman's wardrobe should includesun skirt. It is a universal item that can be easily sewn with your own hands. A dress with this type of skirt will look even more impressive. This is what we will learn today. And you need to start with mastering the specifics of cutting a sun skirt in a dress model with this type of bottom.Choosing a skirt model for your dress Let's sayright away, that even a novice seamstress can cut out such a skirt model. You can use any material you like as a fabric. You can use a checkered or striped fabric. You will also be able to adjust the length of the skirt yourself. If your attention falls on a long sun skirt, then you can make folds or gathers on it, which will give the skirt originality and uniqueness. Creating a pattern for a sun skirt The undoubted advantage of this type of skirt is the ability to create a pattern directly on a fabric base, because there is no need to make calculations, as when constructing a pattern for a straight skirt model. However, a sun skirt will require a lot of fabric from you.In order to cut correctly and neatlymaterial, you will need a surface five meters long and one and a half meters wide, on which you will lay out the fabric in one layer. When making a pattern at home, you can use the floor as such a surface. To construct a pattern, you will need the following measurements: the length of the product, the volume of your hips and the circumference of your waist. Take a small piece of chalk, a measuring tape and scissors. In our diagram, you can see how the arrows indicate the grain direction of the material. First, you need to decide which version of the skirt you will cut: with folds (gathers) or without them. Also decide what the belt of your product should be: elastic or solid. This will affect the calculation of its parameters.If you decide that your product will not havegathers, then you will need to insert a zipper into the side seam and create a hook or button fastener. To construct a pattern, or more precisely the radius ½ of the circumference of the upper level of the skirt, you need to choose one of the options: Let's dwell in more detail on the first option, when the skirt will have a fastener and a loop with a button on the waist. In this case, to calculate the radius value, you need to use the formula: the radius is 0.32 multiplied by St, where St is the half-girth of your waist.Further from the edge of the semicircle, whichobtained, we measure out evenly an additional radius L, consisting of the length of the product (D) and the previous radius R (equal to the waist circumference). Then you should mark the semicircle with chalk and consider that the pattern of the product is complete. In the photo, S denotes the seams on the sides. We create the other half of the skirt in the same way as the first. We use the remains of the fabric to create a belt of the width and length we need. Also remember that you should leave allowances for seams and increases for a loose fit. Then we proceed to cutting out parts of the product from the fabric base. The second method of constructing a sun skirt pattern is similar to the first. But in it, you will need to replace the parameter "half-waist circumference" with "half-hip circumference". And the formula will now be as follows: the radius is 0.32 multiplied by Cb, where Cb is the half-girth of your hips.Please note that the length of the product is Lis set aside from the middle of the circumference, but the length D is from the edge of the waist circumference, which has a radius R. It is also worth considering seam allowances and hemming. Thus, your dress with a sun skirt is ready! Wear it with pleasure!
