How to sew a skirt for summer
Skirts are a must wardrobe in summer, because they allow the skin to breathe and give a feeling of lightness. A girl in a skirt passing next to a man always leaves behind a train of mystery and desire.
Before sewing, you need to choose the right fabric for your summer skirt. It should be light, preferably natural (so that it does not shed during washing). You can also use natural fabrics with the addition of synthetic fibers. Buy fabric in a size that will fit the length of your skirt. Since long maxi skirts are in vogue now, let's find out how to sew a long summer skirt.
When sewing, there must be a pattern. For such a case, the "sun" scheme is perfect (it is considered the simplest, because it will be cut out without seams). If it is decided that the skirt will not have a fastener, then you need to measure the waist circumference, adding up to 20 cm to it. 2 cm is added to the length.Remember that the width should not exceed 140 cm. A belt must be cut out of the rest of the fabric.
For such a skirt, you only need to sew on a belt (with an elastic band), and hem the edges. If the fabric turned out to be a little transparent, then you can sew another lining using the same technology.
