This unique element of women's clothing is relevant at all times and under any circumstances. Moreover, there are many interesting styles and models of this product. To sew most of them, you need to take measurements, make complex patterns, and therefore, certain knowledge and skills in sewing. Today we will talk about sewing a very simple model, which, despite its unpretentiousness, does not lose its charm, but, on the contrary, emphasizes femininity. The simplicity of the product lies in the absence of the need to take measurements, make a pattern. To sew it, you will need only twenty - thirty minutes of free time and colored material, preferably natural.So, to sew a simple summer skirt we needtake any piece of fabric you like, perhaps you have it at home, but you couldn’t find a use for it before. For the product, you will need a piece of fabric measuring one meter by one meter fifteen centimeters. We need to fold the fabric in half. There is always a selvedge along the edges of cotton fabric, so the edges of the product do not need additional processing.Now the fabric needs to be cut into two parts,the main thing is that the two halves are identical, absolutely the same size. When it comes time to sew them together, they should completely match each other.Now we need to sew both pieces of material together so that we get one whole piece (they need to be connected with the front sides).You need to do it along the top, raw edgesomething resembling a pipe. Therefore, we need to fold it approximately two and a half centimeters inward. Sew along the upper edge of the fabric. Be sure to check whether the resulting pipe is wide enough to insert an elastic band into it. If everything works out, we process the edges to prevent them from fraying. In the photo, we can see that the processing was carried out using an overlock, although this method is not necessary, it is quite enough to use a zigzag stitch.Once the canvas is prepared, you need to prepare the elastic. To make sure you get the right size elastic, simply wrap it around your waist and subtract five – seven centimeters.Using a regular pin attached to its end, insert the rubber band into the resulting tube.You need to thread the elastic very carefully, otherwise you can lose its edges.We sew the ends of the elastic to our pipe.We fold the sides of the canvas with the front parts facing each other.to each other and stitch. Since we did not cut the bottom edge of the skirt, it has an edge. Therefore, it does not require additional processing, that is, it does not need to be folded. As a rule, if the width of the fabric is one hundred and fifteen centimeters, the length of the skirt will reach the knees. If desired, you can make any length by cutting the bottom edge. In this case, it will need processing, since the edge will be cut off. We received the finished product - simplesummer skirt. If desired, it can be made in another version - from two layers. For this, you will need an additional piece of fabric, which is sewn under the elastic after forming the tube. You can also sew it on at the same time as the first layer, tucking and stitching at the same time. If you sew the second layer of fabric below the elastic, it will peek out from under the first and you will get a completely different model. Whichever model you choose, the result will definitely please you.
