1. Start by measuring the waist line front and back. (Left hip to right hip.)2. Measure how long you want the skirt to be.
3. Times these measurements by three and make two rectangles, remember to add an extra 20cm for the length.
4. Create the pattern for the lining, front and back, make this 20cm shorter than your total length of the skirt.
5. Add darts to the top of both rectangles leaving one-centimetre gaps between each dart. Make each dart about 4cm long, making sure they are all even.
6. 6. Join the front and back side seams of the lining together.
7. 7. Join the front and back side seams on rectangles together.
8. 8. Gather the bottom edge of the rectangles and attach to the bottom of the lining.
9. 9. You now have your skirt, attach to either a waistband or top.
Like how you have added the instructions to make a puff ball! would be nice to see pictures of your garment too though!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie, I will add some images of my finished garment and the toile when I get some professional looking pictures to share, unfortunately I handed them in before I could take any photos.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a brilliant idea to put this on , it's help for other people. It has very clear instructions and you make it sound so easy. I would be good to see your puff ball even if it just a sample.
