I made another skirt for Isabelle using 3 Peas tiered skirt tutorial. She no longer has her blog so I asked her permission to post her tutorial here. Supplies needed: Fabric: a total of 1 1/2 to 2 yards of cotton of your choice (plenty for girls’ sizes), for a lady’s skirt you will have to do some simple math based on the dimensions of the strips we calculate in a bit; I’d say 2 1/2 yards should be plenty, but don’t hold me to that! Thread3/4″ wide elastic (enough to fit comfortably around waist plus a few inches) NotesAll seam allowances are 5/8″.The things I did differently are in red. Measuring To begin, you will need to determine the dimensions of the strips you are going to cut. Step 1: Measure the waist and hips (in inches) of the intended wearer.

For example: peri has a waist measurement of approximately 20″ and the finished skirt should be about 13″ long. A=20 B=4.5 (after rounding up) Step 2: (sorry to bring algebra into the picture) (A x 1.5) + 1.5 = _____ “C” Example: C=31.5 2. 3. 5. Summer Skirt with Deep Pockets. Tumbler Skirt Tutorial. I came up with the Tumbler Skirt. First, I want to show you how I cut the tumbler blocks. The light in my kitchen was awful that day, so excuse the crap-tacular photos. Then I gave it a quick press with the iron. My tumbler die looks like this: I’m going to place my fabric right on top of the outline you can see vaguely. That’s where the blade is. Then I put my cutting mat on top.

The verdict on cutting 6 layers of fabric at once? If you want to make your own Tumbler Skirt, you’ll need to measure the waist of the intended wearer, and round up to the nearest multiple of 3”. You’ll need double that number for your 2nd tier. You’ll need double the 2nd tier number for your 3rd tier. And so on and so on and so on. My top tier was 9 tumblers. Sew the blocks for each tier together (1/4” seams), small sides up. The finished bottom width on each tumbler is 6”, aka double the finished top width. Install your zipper and have the wearer try it on. Have the wearer try it on again. It’s super twirly, too. HANDKERCHIEF SKIRT.

A handkerchief pointed-hem skirt is flattering to all, but especially for short-legged people because the points break up that horizontal hemline. No pattern is needed to make this skirt style. It is a simple block layout. One easy way to get that effect is to hem two squares of fashion fabric, each having four points (called a “handkerchief” hem) and layer them for an eight-pointed look.

Experiment with swatches of opaque and transparent fabrics as you design and discover what happens when you overlap two layers of the same colour or harmonizing colours. The top layer could be trimmed shorter than the under layer for a tiered look and the hemline could be decorated with flat braid trim or fringe, if desired. Be creative! You will need: 2 ½ yds. of fashion fabric, 45″ wide1 yd. of waist band elastic, 1″ wideCoordinating thread10 yds. of flat ribbon braid (optional) The size of the circular opening should be just big enough to pull over your hips, and can then be tightened with elastic.

Pleated skirt (with instructions) I made up another skirt on the weekend, this time from scratch: I have been seeing these pleated skirts everywhere, and I wanted to make one myself. If you’re smarter than me, you can probably find a pattern that tells you how to do this, but I have a weird aversion to patterns. I guess because I always end up modifying them anyways, so it seems like a waste of money. I took pictures as I went along, it case anyone was curious about how to do this and brave enough to give it a go without a pattern.

First, I cut a large square of fabric for each piece. I used the entire 45″ width of the fabric, and cut it to a length that would be just below my knees. If you are unsure how to make pleats, you basically just sew in seams. Then I did the same thing to the other piece and sewed the side seams together, leaving about 6″ on one side for a zipper. Then I sewed in the zipper. I added the waistband by creating a kind of bias tape strip. That is used for a hook and eye closure. 48 + Free Skirt Tutorials | frugalandthriving.com.au.
