Instructions
Step 1
Choose a fabric for your skirt. Pleated or pleated jersey of any color is suitable for this model. The elasticity and features of the drapery of this fabric on the figure allow you to use an extremely simple skirt pattern.
Step 2
Build a pattern on paper. To do this, take three measurements - waist circumference, hip circumference and product length. Engage an assistant to more accurately determine these parameters. The measuring tape must be applied freely, without tightening or allowing it to sag. Measure the length of the product from the waistline to the floor.
Step 3
Taking into account the received measurements, draw a pattern in the form of a trapezoid. The hem from the hip line to the floor can be left straight or widened slightly. If you are making the skirt narrow enough, provide a slit for free movement. Make it from the side or back in the center, up to the knee.
Step 4
Draw a pattern for the belt of the skirt. Its width depends only on your preferences, and the length will exceed the waist by 3 cm. The fabric for the belt should be the same color and density as the material for the skirt, but not pleated.
Step 5
Add 2 cm seam allowances to all sides of the pattern. Cut out the template and place it on the fabric. Be careful when cutting out the skirt - make sure that the folds of the pleated material do not stretch or straighten out.
Step 6
After cutting out the details of the skirt, start assembling it. Overlock the underside of the hem and the spline on the overlock. Insert the zipper into the back panel. Sew the sides of the parts by hand, joining them together. Sew the belt to the skirt so that the ends are above the zip at the back. Hook-and-loop the belt.
Step 7
Duplicate all seams on a sewing machine. Select a zigzag stitch to keep the fabric stretchy.
