This style of skirt is popular this season due to its unusual cut and the ability to visually model the figure. Despite the apparent intricacy, even a beginner can sew a tulip skirt, using, as a basis, a pattern of a simple straight skirt.
It is necessary
Pencil, ruler, pattern paper, scissors, pins, needle, thread, sewing machine, fabric, zipper, button
Instructions
Step 1
Build one quarter of the skirt pattern. Measure with a tape measure the desired length of the skirt - the distance from the waistline to the knees or above. Put this distance on the paper (AB line). From point A, set aside 18-20 cm down and to the right of this place measure a distance equal to half of the half-girth of the hips, plus 1 cm for the loose fit of the skirt (BB1). Set aside the same number of centimeters to the right of points A and B.
Step 2
Make darts on the sides of the pattern. The total width of the darts should be equal to the difference between the half-girths of the hips and the waist. Accordingly, the width of one side dart is half this difference. Set aside this number of centimeters from point A1 to the left (D).
Step 3
Draw a line from point D to B1. Divide it in half, at the place of division, set aside 0.5 cm perpendicular to the right. Connect G and B1 with a smooth rounded line through point G1.
Step 4
Set aside a distance equal to a quarter of the half-girth of the hips minus 1.5 cm from point A and draw a parallel line down to segment BB1. The width of the dart, which is located in this place, for the back panel is equal to a third of the difference between the half-girths of the hips and waist, and for the front panel it is one-sixth. The dart line is rounded in the same way as in the previous paragraph.
Step 5
The length of the dart on the back of the pattern does not reach the hip line 3 cm, on the front - 6 cm.
Step 6
Divide the distance from point A to the left edge of the dart in half and lower the parallel line down, not reaching the edge of the hem 1.5-2 cm. Do this with all the fragments of the skirt between the darts.
Step 7
Use larger paper. Place the pattern on it. Separate the cut parts of the pattern to the desired distance - the greater the distance between them, the more voluminous the upper part of the tulip skirt will turn out. Trace the outlines.
Step 8
Transfer the pattern to the fabric by adding seam allowances. Mark the distance between the parted parts on the fabric with tailor's chalk. When stitching, this distance will fold in folds under the belt, forming draperies on the tulip skirt. Cut out the belt by cutting out two rectangular pieces 8 cm wide and with a total length equal to the waist circumference.
Step 9
Manually baste parts of the fabric to each other and sew on the belt, process the bottom edge of the fabric. Sew a zipper on the side and attach hooks or a button to the belt. After that, try on the skirt and, if the fit suits you, sew all the seams on a typewriter.
