  • Hi sewing besties!! Welcome back to another sewing tutorial.
    Today we are making a gathered maxi skirt with an elastic waist band. I first made this skirt this year for my brand Solana Handmade and I used Pointelle Cotton Jersey Fabric but this time I used this white embroidered cotton fabric.
    I can either make it into a maxi skirt or maybe you first want to test your pattern and check how you go by making it into a mini or midi skirt.
    Let me know how you go and if you have any questions leave them in the comments here. And if you have any tips for me and everyone else please also leave them in the comments so we can all learn from each other.

    OMG I just noticed a HUGE mistake with the pattern!!!! It’s not your waist measurement you need but your HIP measurement!!!

      @nancymanzi5376 i think what she meant is that in the beginning she said the waist is 96 cm but it is the hips measurements

    I just followed this tutorial and made this skirt a few days ago! It turned out so well, this tutorial was so easy and simple to follow and I would highly recommend this! The skirt turned out so cute, I used a yellow floral print cotton, and I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on it! 10/10 tutorial, thank you so much!

  • @pia566
    @pia566 3 месяца назад

    My measurements don’t make any sense. My first one is 71,5 cm, do I need to cut twice with 71,5 cm for back and front or do I need to divide it by 2 and then cut but when I do that it’s way to short for my hips and waist?
    And my last section is 160 cm, when I cut two with 160cm that’s so much fabric that I think that it’s wrong 😂 but when I divide it then I have the problem with the first section. I think I did something wrong. My HIP is 113 cm normal and my waist is 83cm
