How to prepare for cutting a skirt?

It is important to note that the pattern of the flared skirt can be made directly on the fabric, because no complicated calculations need to be done. The biggest and, perhaps, the only drawback of such a product is the high consumption of material.

Prepare for cutting according to the scheme:

  1. Prepare a flat surface with a length of 5 m and a width of 150 cm, because you have to cut the fabric in one layer, completely decomposing it. You can use the floor for this - just clean up all the excess area of ​​the required size and spread the fabric on it with the wrong side up in one layer.
  2. Buy fabric smooth and dense. The section should have a width of 1.5 m and a length equal to twice the length of the future skirt. It all depends on your options.
  3. Take three measurements: hips, waist, skirt length.
  4. Prepare for cutting a sharpened crayon or soap, tailor's scissors, a centimeter tape, tailor's pins.
  5. Also purchase a secret zipper, threads for an overlock and sewing machine, glue fabric from a hardware store.
  6. Choose the pattern option that suits you best. It can be with assemblies at the waist or without them.
  7. Decide in advance what the belt will be - with an assembly on an elastic band or one-piece. It is on this that the calculation of the volume along the waist line, the processing technology and the length of the belt depend.
