βœ‚οΈ Materials Needed:

ItemDetails
FabricLight to medium-weight (cotton, rayon, jersey, linen) – about 1.5 to 2.5 meters depending on size and length
1-inch wide elasticEnough to go around your waist + 2 cm extra
ThreadMatching or contrasting color
Measuring tapeFor body and fabric
Scissors or rotary cutter
Pins or clipsTo hold fabric while sewing
Safety pinFor inserting elastic
Sewing machine or hand needle

πŸ“ How to Measure:

  1. Waist: Measure your natural waist (where you want the skirt to sit).
  2. Skirt length: From waist to desired hemline (e.g., knee, midi, ankle).
  3. Skirt width (fabric width): Multiply your waist measurement by 1.5 to 2.5 depending on desired fullness:
    • 1.5x = Less gathered, casual look
    • 2x = Nicely gathered, flattering volume
    • 2.5x = Extra full, flowy or dramatic

πŸͺ‘ Step-by-Step Instructions:

βœ… Step 1: Cut the Fabric

Cut a rectangle:

  • Width: Waist x 1.5 to 2.5
  • Height: Desired length + 5 cm (for waistband and hem)

Example (for 80 cm waist, midi length 70 cm):

  • Width: 80 x 2 = 160 cm
  • Height: 70 + 5 = 75 cm

βœ… Step 2: Sew the Side Seam

  • Fold the fabric right sides together so the two short edges meet.
  • Sew along the short edge (side seam), leaving a tube.
  • Finish seam with zigzag or pinking shears if needed.

βœ… Step 3: Create the Waistband Casing

  • Fold the top edge down 1.5 cm, press, then fold again 2.5–3 cm (enough for the elastic to pass through).
  • Pin and sew close to the bottom fold, leaving a 2-inch gap to insert elastic.

βœ… Step 4: Insert the Elastic

  • Attach a safety pin to one end of your elastic.
  • Thread it through the casing, making sure the other end doesn’t slip in.
  • Overlap ends by 2 cm and sew them together securely.
  • Pull the waistband flat, then sew the opening closed.

βœ… Step 5: Hem the Skirt

  • Fold the bottom edge up 1 cm, press, fold again 2 cm.
  • Sew close to the fold for a clean hem.

🧼 Optional Embellishments:

  • Add a lace trim at the hem.
  • Use contrasting fabric for the waistband.
  • Sew on patch pockets or side seam pockets.
  • Try a high-low hem for a trendy look.

πŸ“ Size Adjustments:

Tip: If your fabric isn’t wide enough, you can cut two panels and sew them together before making the skirt.
