How to sew a skirt to the floor from satin. More difficult option. How to lengthen an a-line skirt pattern

It is not the first season that a long skirt has been in the center of attention of fashion designers. No wonder, because this piece of clothing gives the image an incredible femininity and mystery. Thinking about how to sew long skirt? Believe me, there is nothing difficult in this. Let's look at a few tailoring options.

Choosing a material

Before you sew a long skirt, decide on the material. To create a summer skirt, buy a piece of chiffon, thin cotton, viscose or silk. For a model designed for the off-season, fine wool or tight jersey. The fabric should drape well, lie down in soft folds.

How to sew a long skirt with an elastic band quickly and easily

This is one of the most simple ways. It is necessary to take such measurements: waist circumference and length of the future product. Next, we build a pattern on paper, as shown in Figure 1. A \u003d first measurement + 3 cm, B \u003d A + 22 cm, C \u003d second measurement + 5 cm for allowances. Fold the fabric in half inside out. Place the pattern diagonally and cut it out (Figure 2). Now connect side seams, sew the belt into the hem. It remains to process the hem and insert the elastic. It turned out a comfortable skirt with a small flare. If you want to make it more romantic, you can cut and sew a frill along the hem.

How to sew a long tiered skirt

This model looks especially advantageous on slender tall girls. Sewing it is not difficult, but you will need two types of fabric: light (cotton, chiffon) for tiers and knitted for the base. Take the following measurements: half waist, half hips, length of the product. First you need to prepare the base. Draw a rectangle, the length of which is equal to the length of the skirt, and the width of the half-girth of the hips. Then make the waist area a little narrower so that the product sits well on the figure. And slightly expand the bottom of the skirt from the knee to make it comfortable to walk. Process the side and bottom seams, insert an elastic band into the waistband. We do the tiers like this: we cut out strips of the desired width, we process one edge on an overlock. We sew the second edge, tighten the thread to make folds. We sew the finished tiers onto the base. They need to be slightly overlapped so that the base is not visible. Another variation of this model is when the tiers are sewn on both sides, the thread is pulled together and the tiers are sewn together. In this case, the basis can not be done.

How to sew a long skirt with slits in front

This model opens legs and looks very sexy. It must be sewn from a thin flowing fabric, for example, chiffon. We also need a wide elastic band for the belt. We measure the semicircumference of the waist, hips and the length of the future product. Lay out the material in one layer wrong side, we build two rectangles (front and rear end). The length of the front is equal to the length of the skirt, the width is the half-girth of the hips. The length of the back is also equal to the length of the product, and the width is two half-circumferences of the hips. First, we sew, slightly gathering, a small rectangle to the belt. On the elastic we find the center and sew a large rectangle. This should be done so that it slightly covers the front of the sides. Places where two rectangles overlap each other need to be sewn up. We process the free edges of all parts.

Now you know how to sew a long summer skirt. It should be worn with spacious tops, denim jacket and shoes for flat sole. Create your own unique skirt and be in trend this summer!

Our today's lesson will teach you, based on a straight skirt pattern, to create models that are completely different in style and cut. And you can sew your favorite with your own hands without special work literally in two evenings. I hope it will be useful not only for beginner tailors, but also for experienced tailors. Let's get started.

Pencil skirt

Pencil skirt - perhaps the most popular. And, of course, “... she should be in basic wardrobe any woman! It is impossible not to agree with this. Do you know how such a skirt, a pencil skirt, was born? In preparing for this article, I learned a lot of interesting information, which I share: Back in 1908, when Mrs. Berg, the first woman to take to the air as a passenger, was prevented from bouffant skirts and the resourceful organizers of the flight did not find anything smarter than to bandage them just above the ankles. Subsequently, the photos from the reports about the flight served as inspiration for Paul Poiret, who created a prototype of a pencil skirt - "lame skirt". It was not very convenient to move around in it, but what a true fashionista will not sacrifice for the sake of beauty. After 30 years, Christian Dior proposes to shorten the "lame skirt" and adapt it to the realities of wartime. Thus, the 40s of the twentieth century. became the years of the birth of the pencil skirt in the form in which we are accustomed to seeing it.

Modern "style icon" Victoria Beckham looks flawless in a tight skirt with high waist. It was her image that inspired the first model of the lesson.

So, we have , performed according to to your standards. It can be obtained using our Just enter your measurements in the form, press the button and our system will instantly build yours. basic pattern skirts. you can print it in life size on any printer. Here we explain how. Here you can watch and download free sample skirt patterns.We will make changes to the printed pattern.

To begin with, we narrow both panels along the side sections by 1.5-2 cm, the narrowing should be started by stepping back from the hip line down by 6-9 cm (depending on the figure). Next, you need to complete the slot to the back half of the skirt. Then, increase the upper cut of the skirt by 3.5-4.5 cm, taking into account the configuration of the darts, their solutions should slightly decrease towards the top.

You can stop there, but we suggest that we refine our pattern a little more. Divide the solution of the back tuck into two, and design two tucks. You can make a small withdrawal of the back seam of the skirt, literally by 0.5 cm (take into account the value in the redistribution of tuck solutions), this action will help the slot to lie better. Let's reshape the lines of the bottom of the skirt so that there is a right angle in the area where the side seam and the bottom join. The pattern of the pencil skirt with a high waist is ready.

Process the upper cut with a wide facing, repeating its shape from the main pattern.

Second on our list will be a pencil skirt with a slit at the knee.

The model is narrowed, on a stitched belt, a slit on the front panel, starting just above the knee. This skirt is also interesting because it has a pocket in the seam. The incision can be processed with a valance, and lace can be sewn onto the valance.

Modeling. Let's make a narrower skirt along the side cuts. Move the darts on the front panel closer to the side seams. We outline the seam line on the front panel of the skirt according to the sketch. The entrance to the pocket is located in this seam. See fig. below

We mark the beginning of the cut quite high, approximately20 cm from the hip line, given the presence of a gap, which is cut out and stitched to the seam allowances. We also offer to lay the pocket burlap (or valance) in the cut, or cut it out separately.

The belt, for this skirt model, is cut out in the form of a rectangle, with a width equal to twice the width of the belt 3 + 3 = 6 cm, glued with doubler, ironed in the middle along and “started” with an iron, slightly stretching the sections and fitting the fold. Thus giving the belt a slightly semicircular shape.

Military style skirt from Burberry. Can be made from thick cotton, linen, or blended fabric. The model of the skirt is narrowed to the bottom, on the front and back panels there are reliefs, on the front panel there are two volumetric patch pockets. The upper section is processed with a stitched belt with loops, into which a belt can be inserted. On the back of the slot.

Let's start modeling the base pattern by narrowing the side seams and applying relief lines. Then we will design the slot. It remains for us to draw a pocket template, see the picture, the dimensions of the pocket are approximate, because for each figure they may differ slightly, you need to look at the proportions of the product as a whole. Cut out the belt in the form of a rectangular strip with a length equal to OT + 2 cm for the fastener + seam allowances and a width equal to twice the width of the belt + seam allowances.

Flared skirt

Absolutely charming skirt from the collection Italian brand Ermano Scervino. Knee-length, slightly flared, oblique flying wedge on the side. Can be made from any drape fabric.

Skirt modeling is also carried out on a straight silhouette. On the details of the front panel, we transfer the entire tuck down, on the back, only part of it (see Fig.). We give a slight expansion along the side seams, 5-8 cm. We make a pattern of the front panel in a turn.

On the front half of the skirt, we outline the fold lines and cut the pattern along them from the bottom up, not cutting to the end by 1-2 mm. We expand the details to the required size. The amount of spreading depends on the properties of the fabric and is calculated empirically. Cut out the belt.

Well, our lesson has come to an end. I hope he helped you and revealed some secrets in skirt modeling. The main secret is to, armed with knowledge, set a goal for yourself and, without fear, start experimenting. Good luck and creative inspiration!

Wrap skirt from the site "Everything is in our hands" (link after the article). Below is the author's text.

Such a slice with two tiers sewn on.

Its width is slightly less than two waist volumes, the height of the lobule and two tiers is equal, the assembly coefficient is approximately equal to two.


The fabric should be thin, I have cambric.

Since I won’t wear it as a dress and always wrap it on the same side, next time I’ll sew upper part half like a slice, half straight. To keep the legs covered.

In the meantime, when plowing, the eggs are partially visible. But you can flaunt the petticoat.


In-general skirt I like it, it’s not difficult to sew it, though you need a lot of fabric, almost 5 meters with a width of 150 cm (but this is 52 sizes). The main thing is that you do not need to build a pattern, only the upper part can be drawn on paper.


Once upon a time, skirts with an assembly at the waist were already in fashion and were called "Tatyanka". The difference between modern fashionable skirt in length and fabric: the length is almost to the floor, the fabrics are soft, well draped.

For sewing such a very simple skirt, chiffons, thin silks and knitwear, thin, creased (crumpled) are suitable cotton fabrics, pleated fabrics look very good in this model.

Our skirt from knitted fabric with a small amount of elastane.

1. For this skirt, we need only three measurements, waist, hips and skirt length (in ready-made).

For hips 100-105 cm, one skirt length + allowances is enough for a fabric width of 150 cm.

For more wide hips we count so. Hips + 1/3.

For example: hips - 120 cm

80+OB(120)=200cm

2. Equalize the cuts and the edge on the double folded fabric and edge right on it.

We measure the width of the hem on the elastic band about 7.5-8 cm.


Then the skirt length + 2 cm allowance. I have a meter, but it can be smaller for a height of 170, on average 95 cm. But everything is individual.



We cut off.


If you have two lengths of the skirt, then cut off exactly the same length of the second piece of fabric.


We sew the seams with an overlock.


On the reverse side fabric from the face, we also measure the width of the hem for the elastic (it’s more convenient to tuck it right away on the typewriter).


We make a cut on the loop, for the entrance of the elastic band and overcast it.


On the sewing machine, we process the lower edge of the skirt and the upper one under the elastic.

If not, then after overcasting the sections, we hem them on the usual one according to the basting (the bottom of the skirt is 2 cm, upper edge on an elastic band by 7.5-8 cm)


We iron the cuts. We insert an elastic band 1/3 less than the waist circumference. And wear it with pleasure!



Sincerely, Margaret.

The style of this skirt is known to everyone and loved for a hundred years, but for beginner dressmakers, a scheme for calculating the width of parts will be useful. Sewing this skirt is a breeze, the only tedious thing is distributing the assembly. To make it easier for yourself, make notches at the control points on all the parts, then chop off the parts by aligning these points. It is much more convenient to distribute the assembly in small segments. By the way, whoever doesn’t like gathering at the waist can change the upper tier and take it from a pencil skirt pattern with darts and a zipper in the seam, and do the rest according to the scheme. And don't forget to add extra seams! (S.Z.)



At home, with your own hands, you can do whatever your heart desires. As they say, there would be a desire. In this article we will talk about how to sew a skirt yourself. You can sew absolutely any skirt made of thick or thin fabric on your own. It can be drape, knitted, fleece, warm, simple, midi, elastic, wool, synthetic winterizer, etc.

At home, with your own hands, you can do whatever your heart desires.

  • If a girl has a thin waist, then all patterns can be made from a pillowcase. It is not necessary to buy fabric in the store.
  • If there is a desire to sew lace to the product, then it should be pinned to the hem from the wrong side of the skirt. The hem is sewn along the edge of the product.
  • Similar ways of sewing skirts exist for dolls. The principle of operation is the same, the main thing is to correctly take measurements from the doll.
  • Beginners are advised to carefully read the work plan before starting sewing, as there is a high probability of making mistakes.

How to quickly sew a simple skirt with your own hands?

You can independently sew a long beautiful and straight skirt from knitwear or from other material. This work is done fairly quickly.

Work plan:

  1. First you need to choose a fabric. If you want to make a winter skirt, then the fabric should be dense. If summer - then thin. It is also worth paying attention to such a parameter of the fabric as translucence. It will be very ugly if the product shines through the skin. The piece of fabric should be long enough so that the product does not have to be sewn from two or more pieces.
  2. Next, you need to take measurements. With the help of a measuring centimeter, the circumference of the hips is measured. You also need to decide in advance on the length of the product.
  3. After that, you need to cut the fabric. A rectangle is cut out, the width of which should be equal to the girth of the thigh. As for the length of the rectangle, it is equal to the length of the product.
  4. The fabric is cut off and then folded lengthwise. The cut edges should be evenly adjacent to each other.
  5. The fabric must be sewn along. It is recommended to use a sewing machine. We sew the product, bending the edges by 1.5 cm. The product is sewn in a zigzag in length.
  6. Skirts often have sashes. If there is no desire to make a belt, then this point of the plan is not necessary. So, to sew it, a small and narrow piece of fabric is stitched along the edges in a zigzag.
  7. Then, an elastic band must be sewn to the finished belt. Again, if there is no desire to sew a belt, then this item of the plan is not necessary.

This work is done fairly quickly.

After the elastic has been sewn to the belt, the edges of the hem must be tucked in 1.5 cm and made on sewing machine flat line.

How to sew a warm skirt for the winter?

Scheme of work:

  1. A skirt for the winter should be sewn from warm thick fabric. It is this fabric that should be chosen in the store.
  2. Such a product must not have low landing so it is not necessary to measure the width of the hips. Measurements are taken in length and width. The width of the skirt is the waist area. This is specific winter skirts. Add 5 cm to the waist.
  3. To outline the desired length, a centimeter tape is applied to the thigh and falls below the knee. If the skirt is above the knee, then there is a high probability that the girl will freeze.
  4. Next, a pattern is made from paper along the radius from the thigh. The sheet of paper must be large enough. A4 is not a suitable format for this. The correct pattern is a quarter of a circle.
  5. After that, the length of the skirt is added to the resulting radius. Thus, the length of the product is determined. The resulting length is marked with a centimeter tape. A semicircular line is drawn on paper, resembling a rainbow in shape.
  6. Then the pattern is cut out. Open up the fabric. The pattern is cut strictly along the contour, otherwise it will not work to sew the product evenly.
  7. After that, the fabric is folded in half several times. It turns out 4 layers of fabric. The pattern is placed to the fold line, and the fabric is cut along this line.
  8. After unfolding the fabric, you should get a large circle. If it didn't, then something was done wrong.

A skirt for the winter should be sewn from a warm dense fabric.

On the last step it is necessary to hem the hem of the product.

Do-it-yourself drape skirt

Drap is a fairly heavy woolen material that is often used in skirts.. Products from it are suitable for women with any shape.

The work is as follows:

  1. The first step is to determine the top radius. To do this, the waist should be divided into 6 equal parts.
  2. Next, a pattern is made on paper. 2 parts are cut out of the fabric. To do this, the fabric must be bent, and paper template top with chalk. You need to cut exactly according to the pattern.
  3. Another radius is drawn from the line, the length of which is equal to the desired length of the product. Further, 1.5 cm recede from the upper line of the chalk contour, and 4 cm from the lower one. Another detail is cut out. The principle is similar.
  4. Details should be ground along the right side seam.
  5. On the left side you need to sew a side zipper. To do this, the parts must be ground down before the start of the lightning or at a distance of 1 cm before it.
  6. The zipper is sewn to the cut with special foot. This foot is used for sewing hidden seams on the product.
  7. An open section of the zipper is attached to the skirt with a sewing machine.

Drap is a fairly heavy woolen material that is often used in skirts.

The bottom seam of the product is folded over by 1 cm and sewn on a sewing machine.

We sew a beautiful long skirt with an elastic band

It is not recommended to sew a long product from too thin material. To make the skirt fall down, the fabric should be chosen dense enough. It is durable and non-translucent. Another advantage of this fabric is that it does not flutter in the wind.

  1. After taking measurements, the fabric is cut out.
  2. After that, it is sewn along the length. The edges of the fabric must be folded over by 1 cm.
  3. To make a belt, it is recommended to use an overlocker. This is necessary in order to prevent shedding.
  4. Then an elastic band should be sewn to the belt. The cut fabric is folded in half. The elastic is sewn with even stitches, indented from the edge by 5-6 cm.
  5. To make the ends of the belt with an elastic band better fixed when sewing, it is recommended to make zigzag stitches at the edges.
  6. The elastic is attached to the belt and sewn to the product.

At the last stage, the hem should be hemmed.

Fleece midi skirt at home

Work plan:

  1. First of all, you need to purchase fleece and linen elastic, the width of which is 1 cm.
  2. Measures are being taken. With a centimeter ruler, measure the circumference of the hips and waist. You should also outline the length of the skirt.
  3. After that, you need to cut off the linen gum and fabric. The cuts must match the measurements! There should be 2 fabric rectangles made of fleece.
  4. Then the side seams are sewn. The fabric is folded front side inward and folded over a few centimeters.
  5. Next is the drawstring for the gum.
  6. The hem of the product is hemmed.
  7. Then a linen elastic is inserted into the product.
