How to sew a skirt on a yoke

In everyday life, speaking about clothes, the word "coquette" is often used. But although many women use it, they cannot formulate an exact definition of what a "skirt on a yoke" is.

How to build a yoke skirt

A skirt on a yoke can be of absolutely any silhouette - a yoke will revive even the simplest, boring skirt made of ordinary plain fabric.

The yoke itself is very easy to cut. Its optimal width is on average 7 cm, while the line of the skirt belt will turn out to be understated by 3 cm.

Take any pattern of the skirt you like and draw a line 3 cm wide from her waist. Cut the skirt along this line.

Now make a yoke pattern. To do this, measure a height of 7 cm from the new waistline (the height of the yoke can be any, depending on your tastes and wishes). It remains to draw the yoke itself and cut it off from the skirt pattern.

Along the lines of the darts, cut the halves of the yoke - you get the front and back of the pattern. having cut the yoke on the fabric, glue them as shown in the figure and make all the corners soft, rounded.

In the spring I really want to look gentle and feminine, and knitted lace products perfectly convey this mood. But, unfortunately, they often shine through, and not everyone likes the lining that shines through the lace of openwork skirts. But a flying skirt made of light fabric with knitted decorative elements will delight any woman. Openwork coquets look very good, crocheted.

A half-sun skirt on a yoke how to sew

A sun skirt and a half-sun skirt are perhaps the simplest models of skirts for sewing with your own hands. But this does not make them worse than other styles, on the contrary, the sun skirt turns out to be lush and is more suitable for an evening or festive occasion. But the half-sun skirt is quite suitable for everyday walks or summer evening gatherings in open-air cafes.

You can diversify a half-sun skirt by cutting out a yoke for it from the same or vice versa, contrasting fabric. Both the sun skirt and the half-sun skirt imply a fit at the waist, so the “golden mean” rule does not apply here. The yoke for them should be either very narrow, so that the skirt just slightly lowered down, or, on the contrary, so high that the skirt itself goes down to the hips.

The pattern of a seamless skirt, implying an elastic band on the belt, will not work in this case, since, having sewn on a yoke, you simply cannot put it on.
