Tatyanka skirt pattern
To tailor such a skirt, you need to take the appropriate measurements: waist, hips and estimated length of the skirt. When creating a pattern, you don’t need to do it on paper first, it will be enough to cut the skirt directly on the fabric. You should immediately decide whether the skirt will have an elastic band or a belt.
The length of the skirt is calculated using the following formula: estimated length – width of the future belt + allowances along the waist and hem line. Width skirts determined on the fabric: it will be equal to the circumference of the hips + future “lushness” (40 centimeters are added to the volume of the hips). Example: hip circumference = 90 cm. Product width: 90 cm + 40 cm = 130 cm.
Next, the belt is cut out: about 5 - 7 centimeters along the grain thread + seam allowances.
That's it! This is a fairly simple and easy way.
How to sew a Tatyanka skirt: step-by-step instructions
First of all, you need to make a pattern and cut it out. In order for the skirt to be easily worn, you will need to sew in a hidden zipper, which is why you need to position the seam correctly. If the fabric is of medium thickness, then the seam is made from the back, and if it is thin (chiffon, for example), then it is best to make the seam from the side. It definitely needs to be ironed!
Next, you need to sweep away the line of the hidden zipper and stitch it using a sewing machine. If you want to make assemblies, you can use this advice: first set the stitch length (on a machine) to about 4 millimeters. Next, the upper cut is sewn around the entire circumference. Later, at a distance of half a centimeter, stitch the cut again. You don't need to reinforce the stitching to get beautiful folds! Now, this stitch is pulled together by the thread, and beautiful and uniform folds are obtained at the same time.
After that, everything is stitched together and the bottom edge is finished, and that's it! You got an excellent Tatyanka skirt with pleats.
How to sew a Tatyanka skirt with a belt
The first part of sewing a Tatyanka skirt with a belt is creating a pattern. If the skirt has a belt, then you need to take into account several points. The belt is prepared in advance and a lining is made, which is cut in the shape of a trapezoid.
- A single seam is sewn immediately.
- The waistline is gathered onto a thread and pulled together (this is how folds are created). A basting line is laid.
- If the skirt has a lining, it is attached to the waistline on the wrong side.
- A belt and zipper are sewn to the top edge.
- The bottom is folded and processed.
How to sew a Tatyanka skirt with elastic
The Tatyana skirt with elastic is popular because, firstly, it is comfortable to wear, and secondly, it is easy to sew and does not provide a hidden zipper.
- All the material from which the skirt is made is sewn down along one seam.
- The upper edge of the skirt is folded up, thereby forming a drawstring, and attached.
- An elastic band is inserted into the drawstring, which is pre-measured according to the person’s waist.
- The final stage is processing the lower edge of the skirt.
Another point that should be taken into account is the width of the elastic band. If you plan to have a narrow (standard) elastic band, then the drawstring should be made small. And if you want to make a skirt with a thicker elastic band (elastic), then you need to process the upper section of the skirt. It is best to do this with an overlocker. Afterwards, an elastic band is sewn to the cut and turned inside out. This even results in, to some extent, a new design for Tatyanka’s skirt. By the way, note that the elastic helps to hide figure flaws and emphasize the waistline.
