Just a tip , always use a zigzag stitch on elastic, when you stretch your elastic with your fabric it can break the stitching , it won’t with a zigzag stitch
Hi! Can I ask what measurements you took? I am a little confused about the measurements that are marked in this video. Help!! lol. Trying to make some for myself and daughters. THANKS!!
@@laylagreen4880 ah, it says in the video, but it did go by quickly. It was half the waste +2cm in fabric for the elastic band & then the length/height you want it, so from the waste to however low you want the skirt (knees, ankle, ground)
Hi Jess, thank you for such an easy to follow, simple and basic skirt pattern. I've made this skirt for myself, the first time I've ever sewn an item of clothing for me. I love my new skirt!
After all these years! I always come back to you!! This is possible for lots of reasons and why not be pretty all by myself making clothes that make me feel good, love you Jess!!
This looks excellent and quite simple. I. Had to rewatch to understand how to find where to place the hip and waist and how to measure! But I love the idea of measuring length from the top of the triangle to get a perfect rounded waistline! Thank you!
Hi, I just made my first skirt ever following your video :) I am super happy how it turned out. I even added a slit to the side. Thank you for the easy and clear instructions! :)
So I just finished making a skirt!!! It took me less than a day and this is the first thing I’ve ever made. It looks pretty great I think I’m going to add lining because it’s pretty de through i got a blue floral rayon fabric. I really messed up the waist part but other than that it’s not bad! Thank you!
I just got an old sewing machine from my mom and I haven't sewn anything since I was like 12 so I wasn't sure what to use it for then I wanted one of these skirts but couldn't find any in the length or pattern I wanted so I found this and now I am going to try and make one on my own because this is so cute I love it!
I love everything u make 😍 but unfortunately I don't have a sewing machine but I made that puff sleeves dress and that jeans diy by hand sewing it😹 thankyou so much for the inspiration ❤️
I love how simply you present these projects! Very easy to follow. Did you use an elastic stitch for the hem and waistband? Or just a regular straight stitch?
I love your video ❤What will this measurements fit? I’m 76+ so might have missed that information. Again I love it. Do you have an easy top video? Thank you !!!
You can. But you need to adjust the measurements a bit as the fabric is not stretchy. The waist size need to be bigger than the hip size to be able to wear the dress
This is so good! So many of the tutorials require me to cut two front and back pieces but my cutting skill is not there yet cause i cant cut them evenly ! Can i use a zipper instead of a elastic ?
Thank you so much for sharing this skirt video I wish I was as clever as you are x can you tell me does it matter how you fold the material I'm new to sewing and I'm not sure how to fold the selvedge. Thank you
Oh, if your fabric is not stretchy, you can't use this technique. You need to use another tutorial for it. I have one tutorial for it on my channel. You can check it out
Oooh this is so coooool, you did a video about sewing skirt, like I wanted to do 🥺, thank youuuuu 😇💜. The final result looks very nice, I'm in love with it ! I have an another idea for a project sewing, it will be cool if you show us how to make a kimono, you know those long light jackets. It will fit perferct for the summer haha, have a nice day 😊❤️
To make sure the fabric can fit around the hip. Most similar skirts, like circle skirts, are cut from a square corner so this step isn't needed. When using this triangular corner, measuring for the hip is needed. You find the place on the folded fabric that can accomodate your hips by measuring half of your hip measurement plus seam allowance. Then measure up from there to the waist.
You're welcome. If you make it from satin fabric, you will need to add a zipper as satin fabric is not a stretchy fabric. This tutorial is only work with stretchy fabric. Or you can make the waist of the skirt bigger (than your hip size). So you can wear the skirt on
Hi Jess! I've been binge watching your videos because they're all so great! Do you have any tips on how I could make the hem of this skirt to be slightly shorter at the front and longer at the back? Thank you so much! :)
Charisse A to do it, you can cut the front higher than the back. From 2 sides, at the meeting between the front and the back, drawing a curved line at the front
Maybe I’m handicapped here, but this is the second time I’ve followed this, and I can’t get the skirt past my thighs?? I have no idea what I’m doing wrong?
If you use non stretch fabric, you need to use the zipper or button for the waistband. Or you have to make the waistband bigger to fit your hip when wearing
Just a tip , always use a zigzag stitch on elastic, when you stretch your elastic with your fabric it can break the stitching , it won’t with a zigzag stitch
@Rory Devin what the heck
I made two skirts for my little girl, 4 years old. She was so happy. Thank you very much

Hi! Can I ask what measurements you took? I am a little confused about the measurements that are marked in this video. Help!! lol. Trying to make some for myself and daughters. THANKS!!
I want to know waist size in this video.🤩
@@laylagreen4880 ah, it says in the video, but it did go by quickly. It was half the waste +2cm in fabric for the elastic band & then the length/height you want it, so from the waste to however low you want the skirt (knees, ankle, ground)

Hello Jess, great tutorial, thank you so much :) How do you think this would fit with a sateen fabric? Should i use the same measurements as you did?
No, this technique just works with stretchy fabric only
Thank you! Everything what you said was so clear💜
You are so welcome
thank you jess!! this is so beautiful! can I make this in a non stretchy fabric like satin?
You can. But you need to adjust the measurements a bit as the fabric is not stretchy. The waist size need to be bigger than the hip size to be able to wear the dress

This is so good! So many of the tutorials require me to cut two front and back pieces but my cutting skill is not there yet cause i cant cut them evenly ! Can i use a zipper instead of a elastic ?
Yes, you can if your fabric is not spandex. But if that, you need to check the final width of the waist before adding the zipper.
you are amazing ! thanks for this tutorial !
It's my pleasure
Very nice, all your videos are very inspiring
Thanks a lot
Woooow i love it! Tranks im gonna try it❤❤❤❤🤩

Thank you so much for sharing this skirt video I wish I was as clever as you are x can you tell me does it matter how you fold the material I'm new to sewing and I'm not sure how to fold the selvedge. Thank you
You can fold the width to the length of the fabric you have
So sweet.well done
Thank you!

Yeah, go for it
This is beautiful
Yeah, and also easy to make too
Lovely tutorial. Thank you so much. I feel like I can handle this as a beginner sewer. Can I use fabric that is 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex you think?
Is your fabric stretchy enough? If yes, you can use it
Godess!!!!❤
Hermoso…. y muy elegante. 🎀
Perfect.
Love this! I just have one question, what do i have to do differently if i am using a fabric with no stretch ?
Oh, if your fabric is not stretchy, you can't use this technique. You need to use another tutorial for it. I have one tutorial for it on my channel. You can check it out
Could you teach us how to make a summer dress?? I love your videos!! 💖
Thank you, I will try it soon

What kind sewing machine do you use please?
My sewing machine is Merrit Joyful Sewing. It's pretty old style. But it's good enough for me
Love this tutorial! ❤ I was wondering, can you use non stretch fabric for this pattern? Or only stretch fabric? Thank you! X
If you use non stretch fabric, you need to use the zipper or button for the waistband. Or you have to make the waistband bigger to fit your hip when wearing
@@JessDangDIY Thank you! ❤
loved the result please make a party dress❤️
Thanks. I have a few DIYs on how to make a party dress. Check it out on my channel
