To tailor such a skirt, you need to take the appropriate measurements: waist, hips and the estimated length of the skirt. When building a pattern, you do not need to do it first on paper, it will be enough to cut the skirt directly on the fabric. You should immediately decide on whether there will be a skirt with an elastic band or with a belt.
The length of the skirt is calculated according to the following formula: the estimated length - the width of the future belt + allowances along the waist line and along the hem line. Width skirts determined on the fabric: it will be leveled by the girth of the hips + future "splendor" (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 share thread + seam allowances.
That's all! This is a fairly simple and easy way.
Skirt tatyanka how to sew: step by step instructions
First of all, you need to make a pattern and cut it out. In order for the skirt to be worn calmly, you will need to sew in a secret zipper, which is why you need to correctly position the seam. If the fabric is of medium thickness, then the seam is done at the back, and if it is thin (chiffon, for example), then it is best to do the seam on the side. It must be ironed!
Next, you need to sweep the line of the hidden zipper and sew with a sewing machine. If you want to make assemblies, then you can use this advice: first, the stitch length (on a typewriter) is set to about 4 millimeters. Further, along the entire circumference, the upper cut is sewn. Later, at a distance of half a centimeter, sew the cut again. No need to secure the stitching to get beautiful folds! Now, this stitch is pulled together by the thread, and at the same time beautiful and uniform folds are obtained.
After that, everything is stitched and the bottom edge is processed, and that's it! You have got a great pleated tatyanka skirt.
How to sew a tatyanka skirt on a belt
The first part of sewing a tatyanka skirt on a belt is building a pattern. If the skirt is with a belt, then there are several points to consider. A 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 waist line is gathered on a thread and pulled together (this is how folds are laid). Basting stitching is laid.
- If the skirt has a lining, then it is attached to the waist line from the wrong side.
- A belt and a zipper are sewn to the top edge.
- The bottom is folded and processed.
How to sew a tatyanka skirt with an elastic band
The Tatiana skirt with an elastic band is popular because, firstly, it is comfortable to wear, and secondly, it is easy to sew and does not provide for a hidden zipper.
- All the material from which the skirt is sewn is grinded at one seam.
- The upper edge of the skirt is tucked up, thereby forming a drawstring, and is attached.
- An elastic band is inserted into the drawstring, which is measured in advance along the person's waist.
- The final stage is the processing of the lower edge of the skirt.
You should also take into account such a moment - the width of the elastic band. If a narrow (standard) elastic band is planned, 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 cut of the skirt. It is best to do this on an overlock. After that, an elastic band is sewn to the cut and turned inside out. It even turns out, to some extent, a new design of the tatyanka skirt. By the way, note that the elastic helps to hide figure flaws and emphasize the waistline.
