✂️ Materials Needed (For One Skirt):
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Fabric | 2 meters of cotton, rayon, viscose, jersey, or Ankara (anything light & flowy) |
| Elastic | 1 inch wide, your waist length + 2 cm |
| Thread | Matching color |
| Safety pin | For threading the elastic |
| Sewing machine or hand needle | Straight stitch only needed! |
| Iron (optional but neat) |
📏 Measuring & Cutting:
You only need to cut one large rectangle:
- Length (across waist): Your waist × 2 (for fullness)
(e.g. if waist = 80 cm → 80 × 2 = 160 cm) - Height (from waist to hem): Desired skirt length + 5 cm (for waistband + hem)
✳️ Example for a midi skirt: 160 cm × 70 cm
🧵 Step-by-Step Instructions:
✅ Step 1: Sew the Side Seam
Fold the rectangle right sides together (so it becomes a tube).
Sew one straight vertical line to close the side.
That’s it. You now have the body of the skirt.
✅ Step 2: Make the Waistband Casing
- Fold the top edge down by 1.5 cm, press.
- Fold again by 3 cm, press and pin.
- Sew along the lower edge of the fold, leaving a 2-inch gap to insert elastic.
🔧 Hack: No iron? Use clips or pins — press with your fingers!
✅ Step 3: Insert Elastic
- Attach the safety pin to one end of the elastic.
- Thread it through the waistband casing.
- Overlap ends of the elastic and sew securely.
- Pull elastic fully inside and sew the gap closed.
Now your skirt will cinch perfectly at the waist — stretchy, comfy, and flattering!
✅ Step 4: Hem the Bottom
- Fold up the bottom edge 1 cm, then again 2 cm.
- Sew along the edge for a clean finish.
🎉 BOOM! You’re done.
