Spanish dance has never lost its popularity. The perception of them by the viewer is largely determined by the luxurious costume, first of all - the famous Spanish skirt with flounces. She is so magnificent that the performer can, holding the hem with her fingers, raise her arms above her head. And the skirt will still seem long. There are several ways to sew a Spanish skirt.
It is necessary
- - lightweight fabric at least 140 cm wide (2 lengths);
- - fabric for flounces 140-150 cm per 1 m of base fabric;
- - lightning;
- - button;
- - 1-2 crochet hooks;
- - graph paper, tailor's square and ruler, pencil;
- - sewing machine and sewing accessories;
- - overlock.
Instructions
Step 1
The classic cut of the Spanish skirt is a year. There should be at least six wedges. This manufacturing method allows the dancer not only to freely perform movements, but also emphasizes her figure. Start by taking your measurements. You need to know the length of the product, the distance from the waist line to the hip line, waist and hip measurements. To the measurements of the girth, add 1 cm for a free fit. Determine how many shuttlecocks you want to make, as well as their intended width.
Step 2
Start building a pattern on graph paper from a vertical line. For convenience, cut a piece of graph paper 20-25 centimeters longer than the length of the product. Lay the sheet vertically and draw a vertical line approximately in the middle. Subtract the width of the bottom frill from the length of the product. Set the resulting measurement down from the waistline. Through the resulting point, draw another horizontal line to both sides of the centerline. From the waistline, you need to postpone one more measurement - the distance between the waist and hips. Draw a horizontal line through this point too.
Step 3
Divide your waist and hip measurements by the number of gussets you want. The best option is 6, but maybe 8, 10 and even 12. Divide these measurements by 2. Set the obtained values, respectively, along the lines of the waist and hips on both sides of the axial, which is the middle of the wedge. Connect the obtained points in pairs. The lines should be slightly curved, the convex part directed from the center of the skirt. Draw perpendiculars to both side lines at their intersection with the hip line.
Step 4
To build the bottom of the wedge, measure the distance between the hip and bottom lines. Plot this distance on the perpendiculars you just drew. Connect the end points with a curve, the convex part of which is directed towards the bottom. Do not forget that there may be several shuttlecocks. Mark on the pattern of the wedge where they will be sharpened.
Step 5
Fold the fabric in 6 layers. The wedges are symmetrical, so it doesn't matter which side you cut them on. The pattern can be pinned with tailor's pins or tied with thread in several places. Circle the wedges, not forgetting to leave 1, 2-1, 5 cm on all sides for the seams.
Step 6
Cut out the belt. The blank is a rectangle, the length of which is equal to the full girth of the waist, plus allowances, plus 4-5 cm for the fastener. Its width is equal to twice the width of the belt itself, plus allowances.
Step 7
Sweep and grind the wedges together. This can be done in any order, but it is more convenient to first sew them in pairs along the long sides, then connect 2 pairs together, and at the very end, sew a third, leaving a slit for a zipper at the top of the seam. Iron the seams. Overlock the allowances. Where the flare begins, it is recommended to cut allowances so that 0, 1-0, 2 cm remain to the seam. Sew in and sew in the zipper.
Step 8
Fold the belt in half lengthwise with the right side out and press the fold. Fold the allowances inward and iron too. Fold the workpiece with the wrong side out and sew short seams. Sew the belt to the skirt. It is better to make the clasp stronger. This could be, for example, a button and a cut through a buttonhole, and on the inside, a pair of hooks. Buttons should not be used, as they can fail at the most inopportune moment.
Step 9
For a classic Spanish skirt, make flounces. Draw a circle with a radius of 7.5 cm on graph paper. From that center, draw a second circle, adding the width of the shuttle to the radius. Add an allowance along the inner and outer rings. Mark the cut line by extending one of the radii. Draw allowances to the left and right of this line.
Step 10
Cut out the required number of circles for the lower shuttlecock. Stitch them. Process the bottom edge. It can be trimmed with an ordinary sewing machine, but it is better to make a "roll" with an overlock. Sew the flounce to the bottom of the skirt. Press the seam allowances up. Do the rest of the shuttlecocks in the same way.
Step 11
For a simplified version of the skirt, flounces can be replaced with ruffles. Cut out strips of the desired width. Each will have to be sewn from several more or less short strips. Sew the individual pieces together first. Treat the bottom. Ruffles can be hemmed by double folding. Overlock can also be used. Sew the top edge of the ruffle with a needle-forward seam with fine stitches, or machine stitch and gather. Sew the frill to the bottom of the skirt. Sew the following ruffles from bottom to top. Before grilling them, fold the top edge by 0.2 cm.
