DIY skirt for girls - American
Sewing technology is simple. The skirt consists of several tiers with ruffles. Of the materials used: all the same tulle (from the previous version of the skirt), soft knitted mesh, chiffon. You can try using the atlas. You will also need a non-woven ruffle.
Calculations and cutting
For a little girl, the coquette will look like a square or a rectangular shape that looks like a square. The length of the skirt is chosen arbitrarily, but we will carry out calculations from a length equal to 30 cm. It is recommended to use chiffon for all three tiers, but the atlas is better for the first.
The first tier is the height of the yoke (20 cm) and the length (at least two waist girths).
The second tier of a skirt for a girl with her own hands is equal to nine waist circumference.
The second tier of the skirt is twelve waist circumference.
Now it’s obvious that the pattern is not required for the product. It is made of three rectangles. All tiers are already calculated. In that case, if you want to make the skirt more magnificent - the length of the tiers increases.
Ruffles
Ruffles are sewn in the form of ribbons. Their width is 7 cm. The fabric is cut into ribbons. The longer they are, the better. It is recommended to use tulle for the manufacture of quilling.
Covered with non-woven fabric. Its stripes are equal to the length of the first tier. Width - 2.5 cm.
Thus, when sewing, quilling will be non-woven inside and tulle outside.
Sewing
The edges of the chiffon are processed, since the fabric is very loose and naughty in work.
The longest piece of fabric is taken - the third tier. A tape of a tulle net in the middle is attached to it. The stitch is used with a wide step. Then the thread stretches to one edge. A strip of fabric is pulled together to form a quilling.
Sew ruffles on the front side. The distance from the edge is 1 cm.
Similar work is being done with the second tier.
We bend the first tier from above to screw in the elastic and sew.
The first tier can be folded in half and sewn so that on the front side and the inside it will be the same as in the figure.
All ruffles are sewn with a turn outward (visible). Visually, you should get a double skirt for the girl with your own hands.
The tape is sewn on both sides to the edge of the elastic band. Their width (ribbons and elastic bands) is the same. Then the gum is refueled in its place on the yoke. It is sewn with a manual seam. Edges of tapes are not required to be released.
Ironing
You need to iron everything very carefully. Do not use the maximum heating mode of the iron. If it is possible to use a steam generator - use this opportunity. This is the best way to iron products made from such delicate materials.
Everything, the skirt for the girl with her own hands in the American style is ready. It can be decorated with elegant ribbons, multi-colored sequins and beads.
