Beloved by all representatives of the female flared half-sun skirts are fashionable clothing elements for several seasons in a row. Depending on the material, such beautiful skirts can be worn as a casual or holiday option. Designers offer many varieties of this model. Little girls will like a pleated flared skirt , young girls a short skirt, slim women a knee-length skirt made of flowing fabrics, and older women a floor-length skirt.
This thing is sewn very simply. The simplest half-sun skirt pattern is cut directly on the prepared fabric. In order to find out how much fabric is needed for sewing, you need to know two measures - the length of the product and the waist circumference. Then the required footage is calculated by the formula:
A = 2 x CI + (4/3) x POT + allowances for seams (5-10 cm),
where CI is the length of the product, POT is the semicircle of the waist.
Material of the required length should be folded in half with the front side inward. The edge should be horizontal and the fold should be vertical. For the zipper and the seam line, it is necessary to provide 2 cm on the horizontal line, which are laid along the edge. A line is drawn at this distance. From a fold along the marked line on the wrong side, a length equal to two-thirds of the semicircle of the waist plus one centimeter for loose fitting is laid aside, put a mark in chalk or pencil. Next, the length of the product is delayed and a mark is also put. The same actions are done along the fold, starting from the marked line. The resulting marks are connected by a smooth arc line, while the length of the skirt is measured along the entire panel. When cutting, add 2.5 - 3 cm to allowances on the top and bottom of the product.
To make the pattern of the half-sun skirt more accurately display the bottom of the product and the waist line, you can use the paper pattern - the base. A rectangle is cut out of a sheet of paper, the length of which is equal to the length of the skirt, and the width is half the circumference. Then it is cut into equal strips that are applied to the prepared fabric, starting from the edge and ending with a fold. The superimposed stripes at the bottom of the product are moved apart, and the upper line, indicating the waist, remains inextricable. The size of the flare will depend on the arrangement of the bands. In places where the stripes will be wider, the flare will be more, where already - less.
When a “half-sun” skirt pattern is made of fabric, you should pay attention to the interlacing of threads located on the sides, and the middle line of the back and front panels coincide with the diagonal of the fabric. It is important. The oblique skirt pattern “half-sun” is a simple solution for many fashionistas, because the cut along the oblique line forms beautiful folds and visually slim the figure, making it attractive. The skirt unfolds at an angle of forty-five degrees to the shared thread of the fabric. To avoid stretching the central part of the front half, the hem should be aligned in a finished form. Sometimes the seams are laid on the two sides of the skirt, regardless of the fact that there is a fold of fabric on one side. This protects the product from stretching and strengthens the side seams.
The half-sun skirt, the pattern of which is described above, is performed with one side or back seam. Additionally, a belt is cut out, which is stitched to the top of the skirt. Instead of a belt, you can grind a wide decorative elastic band.
