We make a skirt-sun without a pattern

This type of clothing is ideal for creating a feminine and romantic look.

Important! This type will perfectly accentuate your waist and help to hide the excessive fullness of the hips, if any.

In order to sew this type of skirt:

1. It is necessary to perform only one measurement - the waist circumference.
2. Next, we lay out the fabric on a flat surface, mark a circle on it with a piece of soap - there will be a waist.

Important! To calculate the size of the circle, you need to divide the waist circumference by 2 * 3.14.

3. Now, from the edge of a small circle, we measure down the length of the product, while slightly adding a centimeter, maybe two, to the seams.
4. Draw a circle.
5. We cut everything out, sew the bottom, and insert the elastic into a small circle.

Important! You can also replace a large circle with a 120 cm square, which will give your product creativity and originality, and brightness in the eyes of others.

We make a pencil skirt

This option is an elegant type of clothing, but even in this case, you can quickly sew a skirt. As a template, we will need absolutely any of your skirts that fit perfectly in your figure.

Important! Fabric Tip:

• It is better to take the fabric that stretches well and is soft at the same time.
• Knitwear is the best choice for this skirt.

Let's get to work:

1. The fabric that we picked up is folded in half.
2. We apply our template to the wrong side, outline the outline with the same bar of soap.
3. The length of the product can be arbitrary, as you wish. The main thing is to maintain the same “waist / hip” ratio.
4. Everything, the workpiece can be cut.
5. To make a skirt narrower, you should make it about the same size for it in width - both at the waist and at the bottom. It follows that we measure the semi-circumference of the waist along the lower edge of the fabric and draw a vertical line up. On it we cut off the excess wedge. Now we combine the obtained slices and sew them on a typewriter.
6. We prepare a piece of elastic with the size of a waist.
7. Next, just sew the ends with an overlap of about 1.5 cm.
8. To the upper edge of the skirt we apply an elastic band and sew on with a machine.
9. Now it remains only to trim the bottom edge.

You can try on a new thing. A simple do-it-yourself skirt is so quick ready.
