For several years now, floor skirts have been at their peak. This is not surprising, because a long skirt looks feminine and romantic, slim, visually stretching the figure. In such an outfit, it is not hot in the summer, and in the fall or in the spring he warms his feet, keeping warm. The best brands of the world annually offer fashionable women many styles of long skirts. But such a thing can not only be purchased at the store, but also sewn by yourself. A complex asymmetric design, of course, will be on the shoulder of an experienced craftswoman, but a novice seamstress will be able to sew a skirt on the floor with her own hands. The main thing is to objectively evaluate your capabilities and choose a simple model.
Fabric selection
The material depends on what season the item is sewn. Batiste, staple, cotton, linen, silk are perfect for the summer. Knitwear and half-wool will form beautiful folds and warm in the fall. The color can be almost any: peas, floral print, plaid. It is hardly worth experimenting with horizontal stripes - such a skirt can make you fat. Before you sew a skirt on the floor with your own hands, you should take care of the accessories: lace, ribbons, buttons, buttons. It is advisable to select the entire finish with the fabric.
We sew a wide skirt with an elastic band
Let's start with the simplest - with the "Tatyanka". There is nothing easier than to sew a skirt on the floor with your own hands from a rectangular panel. For sewing this thing does not even need patterns! We calculate the fabric: for this it is necessary to measure the volume of the hips and the desired length. A width of 150 m is enough for girls with hips up to 100 cm - this is the standard width of the fabric. We add 15 centimeters to the length of the skirt - for processing the lower edge and elastic. First of all, we’ll take care of the upper edge: we will make a 10 cm bend and sew it with a typewriter. Lay another 2-3 seams. We sew the back seam, process the slices. Using a pin, we stretch the elastic bands and sew their edges (manually). It remains to knock down the bottom, and the skirt is ready!
DIY layered skirt
With such a model to cope a little harder. But you should not be afraid, because numerous folds will hide small errors. To sew a skirt on the floor with your own hands, it is not necessary to make a pattern. The main thing is to take measurements correctly. Tiers can be from three to seven. First, calculate their height: divide the length of the product by the number of tiers (do not forget about allowances for seams!) We multiply the volume of the hips by one and a half - this is the width of the upper tier. Each subsequent tier should be one and a half times longer than the previous one, then the skirt will turn out beautiful and comfortable to wear. To make the thing neat, you will first have to sweep the frills and only after that scribble. In the upper part of the skirt we sew in an elastic band.
Six-skirt
Sewing such a skirt with your own hands is a more difficult task. Have to use the pattern. We will build it ourselves. This will require the same measurements: product length, hips and waist. First, draw a vertical line equal to the desired length of the skirt. Draw a line perpendicular to it (from above). We consider its length as follows: divide the waist by 6 and +2 cm. Similarly, draw a segment at the hips: divide the hips by 6 and add 2 cm. Through the ends of the segments we draw straight lines to the bottom of the skirt. The pattern is ready, you can cut. Before sewing, we sew a zipper in the left side. The upper part of the skirt can simply be bent and sewn, or it can be processed with the help of turning.
