If you have a need to sew a children'sclothes and the question arose how to sew a skirt - pay attention to this master class! Description of the product A loose-fitting skirt, slightly below the knees in length, consisting of two types of materials: transparent guipure and plain cotton (cotton) fabric. Elasticated waistband.The patterns are presented for a girl of 8-9 years old, height134 cm, hip circumference 69-73 cm, waist circumference 58-61 cm. Since the skirt is elasticated, these patterns will also fit older girls. For manufacturing you will need Materials: 1. Transparent fabric, such as guipure.
Consumption at a width of 140 cm – 1.0 m. 2.Plain cotton fabric, matching the shade of the main fabric. In our case, light pink guipure was chosen as the main fabric, and rich pink satin as the inner fabric. Consumption at a width of 90 cm is 1.6 m. 3. Threads - cotton with polyester. You will need 3 spools, since the seams will be processed on an Overlock machine. 4. Elastic band 3 cm wide - 0.7 m. Tools: 1. Pins with a tip for connecting parts (English needle).
2. Ruler 3. Tape measure
4. Chalk 5. Plastic template 6.White cotton fabric for ironing Procedure Cutting the fabric 1. Since the skirt patterns are a regular quadrangle, the pattern can be made directly on the fabric, laying only seam allowances.
Sewing the product 2. Connect the details of the upper skirt along the side cuts so that the front side is on the inside.
Pin with needles and make a machine stitch at a distance of 1.2 cm from the edge. 3. Connect the cuts of the side seam together and process on the "Overlock" machine.
4. Similar to points 2 and 3, we perform technological operations with the inner skirt.
5. Carefully iron the side seams on both skirts. For good ironing, it is advisable to use a plastic template.
We lay the product out on the ironing boardthe front side so that there are no creases. We put a white cloth for ironing on the side seam, put the iron with steam on the seam for a few seconds so that it is fixed. We remove all the tools, we put a plastic template on the seam, which will remove the remaining moisture from the fabric. After this procedure, the side seam will be well fixed and will have a neat appearance.
6. We make a line along the top edge of the outer and then inner skirt to make the assembly later. The line can be made either by hand or by machine.
Processing the belt 7.The belt consists of two parts, like the skirt, the main fabric and the inner one. In order to make it easier to process and to prevent the parts from shifting during work, it is necessary to connect the two types of fabric together. To do this, lay out the two parts of the belt so that they strictly coincide with each other, pin them with needles, and stitch at a distance of 0.2 cm from the edge. 8. Connect the belt along the width to form a closed circle, but at the same time it is necessary to leave an unsewn section for threading the elastic. This section is shown in the figure.
We lay a line at a distance of 1.2 cm from the edge.
9.Find the middle of the belt - 2 points, then find the middle between the two found points. In total, we have 4 points that are at the same distance from each other. 10. Similar to point 9, find the middle of the skirts: inner and outer. 11. Pin the outer skirt with the belt at the 4 found points, and the part of the belt with the unsewn section should be on the wrong side. The skirt is much wider than the belt, so in further sections it must be gathered manually so that the sizes of the belt and the upper edge of the skirt match exactly.
We also pin the second inner skirt to the wrong side of the belt, first connecting at 4 points, and then gathering it by hand, as we did with the outer skirt.
We carefully pin all the folds with needles. We make a machine stitch at a distance of 1.0 cm from the edge. With one stitch we connect the inner skirt, belt, and outer skirt.
12.The seam is processed on the "Overlock" machine. 13. Iron the seam on the wrong side, then carefully iron it through white fabric on the right side. The bottom of the product 14. We process the bottom of the upper skirt using the "American" method. This method does not require "basting" and ironing. We fold the bottom of the product by 0.3 cm and lay a line along the entire length.
Then we bend the bottom of the product back a second timedistance of 0.3 cm, capturing the line you just laid. And you need to try to make sure that the second line runs exactly along the first. 15. We process the lower skirt with a hem seam with a closed cut.
16. Iron the bottom of the two skirts. 17. Insert the elastic into the waistband. The DIY skirt is ready!
