How to quickly sew an elegant and simple dance skirt
There is a very simple way to sew an elegant dance skirt. For this, soft organza is often used.
- First you need to sew the edges of the elastic, only so that the seam does not protrude much. Then we proceed to the organza itself.
- The width can be arbitrary, but the length should be 2 times larger than intended (for example, if you need a skirt of 20 cm, take 40 cm of fabric).
- The skirt is joined at the side seam. Measure in the middle of the length and sew with a very large seam at this location.
- You need to tighten the seams to make nice folds. When the skirt is pulled together, its width should be leveled by the elastic.
- To evenly sew the elastic to the skirt, you need to secure it with pins and sew. At the end, lower the hem. This will make a wonderful dance skirt.
