What do girls love the most? Of course, show off in front of the mirror. Sew her a sun skirt, which is a pleasure to spin. You will spend a little time to create it, but the girl will have more than enough joy.
Necessary
- Skirt fabric;
- non-woven fabric;
- scissors, needle, thread;
- tailoring tape;
- pattern;
- elastic band 2.5 cm wide
Instructions
Step 1
Building a pattern. Since the sun skirt is a circle with a hole in the middle, you need to calculate the inner and outer radius. To do this, measure the girl's hips (OB) and determine the desired length of the skirt (CI). Now you need to calculate the inner and outer radius of the skirt. Based on the dimensions obtained, calculate the inner radius using the formula R1 = (OB + 5) / 6, 28, and the outer radius using the formula R2 = CI + R1.
Step 2
Transfer of patterns to fabric. More skilled craftswomen build a drawing of a sun skirt directly on the fabric. Without proper experience, you can first make a pattern on tracing paper or Whatman paper. A sheet of paper is folded in half and a semicircle is drawn on it. Before cutting the fabric, it must be washed and ironed with a steamer. The fabric is laid out in one layer and a pattern is placed on it. To make a belt, you need to cut out a rectangular strip 6 cm wide and equal to OB + 5 cm in length. Do not forget to leave a seam allowance of at least 1 cm everywhere.
Step 3
Stitching parts. If you immediately carved out a full circle, then you just need to process the seams with an overlock, bend the bottom and sew. The belt is folded in half lengthwise. If the fabric is thin, then use a dense non-woven fabric, which is first ironed on the wrong side. Iron the folded belt by pressing the allowances inward. Then tuck the skirt into the waistband and stitch, leaving a small hole for the elastic. Insert a wide elastic and iron the garment. The sun skirt is ready.
