How to cut this skirt according to the finished pattern with your own hands

Sewing clothes with your own hands is greatly simplified if you know what you are sewing, how to sew it and where to start.

This skirt model, which is based on flared sun skirt pattern, has an initial level of complexity, so you can start your learning to cut and sew from it.

If this is your first sewing experience, you can make skirt sewing as easy as possible by choosing a stretch fabric. To sew a stretch skirt, you will also need an elastic band - wide or narrow.

When making patterns, select the recess you need according to your measurements (see the article "How to take measurements") and with the help of the Table of Women's Sizes and their correspondence to the measurements: 42-50, 52-60, 62-72.

The bottom line can also be chosen any, regardless of your size.

To cut, fold the fabric in half and align the edges (see picture 2), place them parallel to the edge of the table. Lay straight cuts of the pattern on the fold.

Cut out the skirt WITHOUT seam allowances.

If the waist section of the skirt is processed with more than just a wide elastic band (see how to sew a skirt with an elastic band), but also with a belt, cut out the belt.

How to sew this skirt with an elastic band for beginners step by step on a do-it-yourself pattern

1. One of the easiest ways to sew is to sew a wide elastic band to the waist section. Attaching should be done with a wide zigzag or a zigzag "troika". If possible, with a topstitch (see Machine seams).
2. It is a little more difficult to process with a narrow elastic band with a simultaneous hem of the cut: we put the folded edge of the waist cut on the elastic band and connect the skirt and elastic band with a zigzag-three from the wrong side of the skirt.
3. Another fairly simple method, suitable for thin knitwear, is belt processing.
4. Calculating the width of the belt is simple:
   2 belt widths finished + 2 cm for seams
   The average width in this case will be 10 cm. P
5. The strip of the belt should be folded in half lengthwise and ironed.
6. Measure the length of the finished belt on yourself - the hips should go into it, but the belt should not be longer than the waist section of the skirt.
7. Cut off the excess.
8. Stitch the ends of the waistband, skipping the stitching on the wrong side of the waistband to fit the narrow elastic bands.
9. Stitch under these narrow elastic bands. To prevent the lines from bursting, I recommend using a narrow zigzag.
10. After that, it remains to sew the belt and screw in the elastic.
11. Pick the bottom of the skirt or sew with a rudder seam.

As you can see, sewing a skirt with an elastic band is quite simple, especially from stretch.

A few last little tips for beginners

If you are sewing such a skirt from silk fabric (chiffon, crepe, satin, silk, etc.), you will have to fasten or choose a notch at the waist that your hips will pass through.

Based on the fact that false zippers are in fashion today, it is very easy to process the clasp: cut, overcast and stitch the zipper.

In conclusion, I will say that this skirt is suitable for anyone. cut-off waist dress with a sun skirt as an additional top or bottom skirt.
