DIY Sewing a Straight Lined Skirt– is a responsible task for any seamstress, although this model is one of the simplest. When sewing, it is necessary to follow all the rules for working with fabric, taking measurements and constructing patterns. But, having coped with this model, you can easily sew skirts of other styles for yourself, which will be an excellent addition to your wardrobe. Sewing clothes with your own hands is a great option for a woman to replenish her wardrobe and the wardrobe of her loved ones. In this case, old things can be used, from which exclusive items of clothing or stunning accessories are created through simple manipulations. Today we will talk about such a necessary thing as a skirt. Moreover, we will learn how to sew one of the models. A universal model, relevant in many cases, is a straight skirt. We suggest you sew a classic model of a straight skirt with a lining. As with sewing any product, first you need to take measurements from the model. To sew a skirt, we need to know the waist size (W) of the model, the hip size (H), and the length of the product (L). In this case, we take the last measurement in full, and divide the first two in half and get half the waist volume (WV) and half the hip volume (HV).There are situations when we are unsure aboutwhat length will suit us best. If this is your case, do the following. Put on the shoes you plan to wear with the sewn skirt and stand in front of the mirror. The mirror should be large enough for you to see the entire silhouette. Now take a piece of fabric from which you will sew the product and apply it to yourself, adjusting the length. Leave the version for the product that best suits your figure, the one you like the most. After measuring the length, take two other measurements, the waist and hips. Let's move on to the next stage - selecting the materials needed to sew the product. We will need:

the main fabric from which, in fact, we will sew;
The fabric intended for a lining, is selected in tone of the basic material;
the gasket is special glue (to create this model, the skirt needs to have about ten centimeters);
for fastening - a zipper, as well as a button or any other fastener at your discretion;
thread of the corresponding color.

Before we start cutting out the material, weit is necessary to prepare it, to decatize it. In other words, to steam it well and iron it. Modern irons with steam and temperature control cope with this task perfectly. For stretch fabrics, this stage is very important, as they are prone to shrinkage. Decating is no less important for natural fabrics. To prepare them correctly, it is recommended to first dip the fabric in fairly hot water for a certain time, then wring it out, dry it and iron it. It should be remembered that the shrinkage of such fabrics can reach 10%.If necessary, you need to match the pattern on the fabric.In this case, the pattern is located along the grain line, so we will cut along the cross line. The edges of the fabric need to be aligned, but in some cases, when aligning the pattern, one edge may peek out from under the other.After the manipulations have been done, you need to cut off the edge of the lower part of the product. It is necessary to cut it off even if the edge is even, otherwise it may pull the product in this place during wearing.Now you need to determine and cut out the length of the skirt.To do this, you need to step back from the cut in an upward direction approximately three centimeters (they will be needed to hem the bottom of the product) and set aside a measurement of the length of the product from this point.Now you need to determine the waist line. To do this, through the top point obtained after the length was set aside, you need to draw a perpendicular to the middle.The next step is to designate the sideskirt line. To do this, a straight perpendicular line is drawn from the waist line and a line is drawn parallel to the waist and the bottom of the garment. This will be the hip line. As a rule, depending on the height of the model, you need to set aside twenty - twenty-five centimeters.Now we will mark the waist, as well as the beginning of the hip line.It's time to determine the location of the dart.To do this, from the middle of the front part of the skirt we need to set aside ¼ OT plus add two centimeters (for the dart) along the waist line and ¼ OB along the hip line.Next, you need to mark the depth of the darts, asAs a rule, this is done according to the pattern. In this case, ten centimeters are set aside from the center line of the front part, the depth is two centimeters, its height is about seven centimeters. All marks are subject to adjustment when trying on.Now we mark the side cut using a template. We usually do this using a pattern.We form the top edge of the skirt.Considering that the body is not perfecteven, you need to make a small indentation for the so-called deflection in the middle from the waist line by about one centimeter. You will get a drawing as shown in the photo.We mark the allowances for all seams (one and a half – two centimeters).To prevent the layers of fabric from shifting during cutting, they must be pinned with sewing pins. We need to display the second dart onthe skirt fabric. It needs to be transferred using the same sewing pins and chalk. On the back of the skirt, the darts need to be laid a little deeper, the indent for the deflection also needs to be made larger by about one and a half centimeters.All parts need to be pinned or swept by hand. The lock is also pinned.During the fitting, the sizes are adjusted andthe darts are transferred (as in our case). The waist line is also determined. After trying on, all the defects are eliminated. The product is tried on again and then stitched on the machine (the lining and fastener are sewn in). You can sew a skirt without a lining according to this pattern. It will not become less attractive.
