I watched the video several times and took notes so that I could fully understand what I was going to do. I need to adjust the measurements to fit my size but these are the notes that I took based on the video for people who were saying that wanted written instructions.
Materials
3m long by 3m wide tulle or hard netting. Will be called tulle for the rest.
46cm long by 1.5 m wide satin inside
Thread that matches the color of your petticoat
12m wide lace
12m wide ribbon satin
6m wide elastic
How to Measure
Length can change based on your height or how long you want the skirt. Measure from your natural waist or wherever you want your skirt to set to where you want your skirt to end and that is your length.
Width is for how wide you are. I am a much bigger lolita than melikestea. Measure wherever you want your skirt to sit.
It wasn't mentioned in this video but most people say to take your waist measurement and times it by 2.5 and that is your width. In my case I'm a 92cm waist so my width would be 230cm or 2.3 m.
So the satin inside would be 2.3m wide, the tulle would be 4.6m wide, the elastic would be 9.2m, and the lace and ribbon would be 18.4m. Hopefully you see the doubling pattern.
In order to not confuse people I will keep the measurements said in the video.
Mark 5cm down all across the satin inside.
Sew your hem at the bottom of your skirt. Then close the ends of the skirt by bringing them together and sewing them aking it into a skirt.
Now go around and sew the very very top of the 5cm mark we made before. This is where she sews the very tippy top
Make 4 lines of stiching with enough space inbetween for the elastic to slide through
Make sure not to sew all the way around because you still need to slip the elastic in later
Cut strips of tulle. 17cm length by 3m wide (2) and 21cm length by 3m wide (4)
Take two of the 21cm strips and sew them together making a 6m wide strip
Sew the lace onto the end of this long strip 6m of lace
Sew lace onto the other two 21cm long strips (6m)
Cut one of the 17cm long strip in half.
Now you have 17cm by 3m (x1) and 17cm by 1.5m (x2)
21cm by 6m (x1) and 21cm by 3m (x2)
Sew together the 17cmX3m strip with the 21cmX6m and 17cmX1.5m strips with the 21cmX3m strips.
Ruffle the longer stripe so that there will be no extra. She does a 1, 2, 3, pinch and sew method.
Sew these together at the top
Sew the satin ribbon onto the connection between the two layers for aesthetics
Then sew the sides together to make it into a skirt.
Sew the strips under the waistband. Remember that little flap? You're going to sew the tulle onto that or at least that's what it looks like to me.
Sew the longest strip on first by ruffling it again as you sew it onto the satin inside
Sew on the 2nd and 3rd ones and then cute off any excess
Now sew down the waist band.
Use elastic and clothes pin to slip in 3 layers of elastic, alternate as you go.
Keep in mind that this is mostly my notes that I took while watching if anything Isaid was incorrect I apologize and I can add more detail this once I actually get around to making my own petticoat. Hope this helped you guys a bit. Obviouslly all credit for the tutorial goes to melikestea, I just tried to explain it in words and show you guys how to change the measurement based on your size.
+NarikoYukiKatana thank you, you help me understand a little bit more >w
+NarikoYukiKatana thank you so much !!
+NarikoYukiKatana Thank yo so much!!!
thanks for your explanation. really appreciate.

"But you get it right?"
No girl that's why I'm here!
"but you get it right?" actually i even forgot what i knew after watching your video XDDDD ,slow downn
For people having issue combining the layers that are different circumferences: What I like to do is fold my circle in half and mark each end with usually chalk. Then I fold it so each of those marks touch. It should still be in half but the edges will be at halfway between the first two marks. This marks the circle in quarters. I then will mark the halfway point between each of the quarter marks. So I have eighths . I haven't needed to go down to sixteenths.. but I may need to when I sew this. Then I sew each layer together just at the marks. This lines up the skirt and evenly distributes the larger and smaller layers. Then I sew in the round adjusting the fabric as needed.
This may be really common knowledge but I've only just taught myself over the past few months and never heard anyone talk about it...so I hope it helps someone.
TinyBreakfastTable Actually I really appreciate this. I'm trying to save a certain skirt which had a lining. I knew I could just cut the lining to fit and then sew it buuuut I decided to fold the lining in half so that it'd be thicker and have a little body but I couldn't figure out how to make the folded lining (which is wider at the bottom) fit around/under the top part of the lining which attaches to the skirt without being l bunched over. Now you've given me a pretty great idea, which I'll try this weekend :) Thanks!
Most tutorials I see will waste like 5 to 10 minutes just talking about what it is or how much their bffs loved it and how they got a new haircut. ;) This is straight to the point, thanks! :D
I love this petticoat but could you remake this video maybe using different colors of tulle and different thread colors so we can see and maybe slow it down some?
This is seriously the best pettitcoat tutorial I have seen! Most tutorials teach you to make a cheap looking pettit, ew. This one is just perfect and if you already know how to sew it doesn't look too challenging to make. I will try it soon for mi 50's inspired outfits, thank you for posting!
So glad I found this tutorial! I wanted to make my own prom dress so it would fit, not cost an arm and a leg and, so it would be perfect for me. The dress I am making is more of a 50s style and definitely doesn't look quite right without a petty coat. this is the best tutorial I have found so far!
Cute petticoat, but nope, didn't get it. I sew a lot but directions were too fast and not enough explanation on what part exactly the netting is sewn to on the lining. Black on black is difficult to make out on screen.
yupyup1562 Sorry, due to my university and job I haven't been able to upload a written version I so wanted to upload a long time ago on my blog, hopefully I'll be able to write it soon ^^
***** I need this tutorial, this is the only one who really represent the petticoat I want for my new year costume, it's really perfect ! Let me know when you'll get time to write it, please ? Because I didn't get everything >
+yupyup1562 one year later and still waiting for the written version lol
This has been the easiest to understand instructions for me! Thanks! Been wanting to sew a petticoat for years now.
Hi everyone!
I had a series of problems in the past couple years, mostly due to university and I'm sorry I never got to finish the written version and I know I explain things too fast no matter how hard I try to be slower.
I'm graduate now so that means I'll finally have the time to at least finish writing down this tutorial.
hopefully I'll also have time to make new ones this year.
thank you for the nice comments, which I didn't even had the time to check since I uploaded this, let's hope 2016 will be a better year. 💝
Hello. Have you finally written the instructions for this petite coat? It looks simple but a tad confusing.
petticoat*
The petticoat is SO cute! I am making a doll costume for Halloween and was totally lost on how to make the skirt poofy! Your video helped so, so much. Thank you!!!
this is the first selfmade petticoat i saw which looks really really amazing
Beautiful.... 🌼🌼
Net is lined up from elastic as :
First layer is of 1.5 m (17cm in width)
Second layer is of 3m(17cm in width )
Third layer is of 6m (21 cm in width).
THE BEST TUTORIAL OF A PETTICOAT I'VE EVER SEEN. Congratulations.
I am going to have to watch this 50 million times before I can even begin to understand what you just did...LOL!!! Thank you anyways!! Great tutorial!! :)
Best petticoat tutorial I've found! Your explaining is clear
I just finished my petticoat from this tutorial! I think I did it right, and it's working pretty well!
i made this last month for edc and it was amazing!! i underestimated the amount of sewing (it's a total length of like over 60m, crazy!) but i learned a lot from this project and i love love love the outcome! thank you!!
Obscura x Yeah, it is "simple" but at the same time it's not because there is a lot of fabric gathering and sewing and all!I'm glad it helped you somehow, btw!
To everyone who couldn't understand this tutorial (like me lol) : she uploaded another Petticoat tutorial before and it's much easier to understand! meaurements are also written :)
Ironically, this video convinced me to buy a petticoat from you... It just looks so very well made!
Thanks for the tutorial very interesting and easy. I just use 1 inch elastic instead of multiple 1/4 ones but that's cool too. It's always interesting to see the many ways of doing something.
I just discovered your channel and I am in LOVE!
I now have a sudden urge to make a petticoat.
Aww Thanks!
Go make it! And show me when it's done! :D
Very cute!
And wow, in love with your nails. 😊💅🏻
what a pretty cool way of gathering fabric on the sewing machine! I must practice this!
My brain hurts,very thorough instructions.
This is awesome and I can't wait to try it :D Thank you for posting it!!
i liked your video. It was interesting and as Nyk DiMarzo said.. I just took down notes, subscribed because I didn't want to try to find you if I forgot you and also... it would be easier to watch over and over again until i figured it out lol. Thanks so much.
Loved the explanation! Made perfect sence, thank you for the insight.
its very manual and i like it! and yes its your accent, whenever you say "that you dont know what your doing but we get it" i laugh its funny in a good way.:D
I love youre tutorial ! This petticoat looks great ! Merci beaucoup
It's so poofy and adorable!! Thank you so much, I look forward to making this c:
Your accent is so interesting!!!
I thought the same! I wonder what her background is!
She writes in portugeuse on her fb. Shes prolly either portuguese or brazilian. Her english has a touch of british accent though. Very cool! :)
It's annoying as hell. You can hear that ridiculous Portuguese accent when you don't hear the slight British accent.
TheThrifter hahaha thanks! I wish my English was better, but as long as you can understand something I guess that's alright!
David Davidson My mum thinks just the same! haha
I Love your accent and your voice *^*
And your DIY was very clear (and I'm french! XD)
This skirt is so so so sooooo cool!!!!!!!! I love it!!! :D
Thank You so much for this post!!! The best pettitcoat tutorial I have seen!
The double needle this is really clever. You pnly have to sew there once! Thanks for the tip.
That's been saving me a lot of time! :D
This is probably the best petticoat tutorial I've seen, thank you so much! Your instructions were very clear, and the double needle idea is genious, I'll have to grab me one of those! Thanks again for the video, keep rocking :)
Thank you for your comment!
I'm currently re editing this video to make a little bit longer than 5min. :)
thank you! your video is very helpful, i mean there are some parts that are a little confusing but think i will figure out, when i try to make one
MeLikesTea have you posted your written instructions on how to make the petticoat? I adored your video and plan on making several for my granddaughter.
Using the double needle was really smart I love your tutorials :)
Thank you!
I have all the netting circle things, I have the lining skirt, but I don't understand how I put the parts together. Did you ever finish the written tutorial, because I could really use one right now!
I have a a longer black one but it was too loose and now I have been swing dancing for a year or so, now its for real to big. Its a Bettie Paige brand and was more than I want to spend now. I am so excited to make one like this. Also dresses are much shorter now than in 1940-1950s (at or past the knee) so I need a shorter one.
nice video. thanks for sharing. im going to try one.
Beautiful, i wish i knew how to sew! And I love your accent. ^^
i like it !! the job is very very nice!
+Maria Teresa Di Lorenzo thank you!
Very awesome I have to try this!!
I am a sewing student and this tutorial is good, but confusing. Weiting donw the step one by one is important for understanding.
hi i was trying to go to your blog and noticed the link doesnt work?
love your tutorial and will go back later to use it as reference
supper nice! usefull for me right now!! thanks from sweden, MeLikesTea!
its beautiful, i wanna make my petticoats. but have no idea how much of the fabric i need to have and such
hola, una pregunta me podrias decir los materiales y como se hace pero en español?? porque no entiendo ingles y se me hace muy complicado :(
o me podrias explicar en ingles pero escrito haci lo tradusco.
Omg. Loooove this!! Thank you!!
Hi! If I have a waist that is 90cm around, should I cut my fabric 90cm or should I cut it double size? Thank you for this video! :D
Hi, I have managed to complete sewing all of the tulle (it looks wonderful) but I can't work out how to attach it to the lining. I know you are busy but can you please help?
what a cute person holy heck !! i think i understand, i'm going to try my best to make a good petticoat !!!
I really hate gathering especially of such long strips of fabric so to make free hand gathering or the way melikestea is doing this in this video easy, i take the piece and split it into as many even section as possible by just folding it in half again and again, then I do just as many sections with the other strip and then I just match them at the pins that i used to mark out the sections so that the gathering is as even as possible without bothering with annoying thread and tulle/netting that is really not easy to gather because it is so stiff.
This video is amazing! Thanks so much
you are just perfect!! thanks you for give me a great idea for made 2 petticoats for my little girls! ... hugs!
Video is good only issue I have is are you sewing tulle to waistband? The open part after you sewed 4 rows for elastic and is it to right or wrong side of fabric
Brilliant video! Thank you!
homa, then, are two layers of tulle, one that joins the waist without folds and another with pleats. the one with folds is the one that is made first and the one without folds is the last layer, which when turning the petticoat is between the fabric that serves as the lining and the layer that does have folds and which remains outside. ..true??
Interesting to watch, but too fast to really be helpful.
@meliketea: hi :)) I just wonder that if I donot have the thick layer inside. Is it ok ?
what exactly are the measurements and witch of those is the length to be changed.
To me it's perfect thank you
the video is good enough for me! thanks for this! :D
very good explaination love it
Please please pleeease write instructions to it in your blog! The video's nice and the petticoat is very beautiful and elegant and I really want to make one of these! If you have anytime pleassee right one!! Thank youu!
I have to say I LOVE you accent! Its too cute, especially when you say "cm". =3
hahah can I order one from u?!
very nice and easy to understand
Thank you so much! for this tutorial. I really appreciate you making this video, I have one day to make it after work, I need it for a costume I am using for a birthday spotlight. Like you said on another comment, that it doesn't matter how you explain it there always be someone that won't understand. I agree. I hope you continue making this tutorials for all of us that need help, I would just appreciate if you explain step by step even do, you think is not necessary, for that person that is watching your video and has never done one before. If you need to make video 1, 2, 3 etc we will all appreciate it. Great Job!!!!!
I'm not a very good person when it comes to explaining things because I always feel like I'm saying too much. Honestly this video was about 20mins long and I reduced it to as short as it is because I'd always think "oh this is too easy, people will get bored if I ad this obvious part too" but aparently that's not how things work XD
I just hope someday I'll have a better sewing space to make more tutorial and a better computer because mine keeps crashing when I try to edit HD videos :(
Nice Video, the petticoat looked really good, and its very pretty, well done, a good demonstration, are you going to make any more videos? please let me know if you do i would like to see them. thank you for doing this video. Liked in the UK.
hi!
I've started to record more sewing tutorials but they take quite a while to edit. I'll do my best to upload two per month.
thanks for your comment!
I really love this tutorial but I'm struggling trying to figure out the proper measurements in inches? I'm trying to make a petticoat for my birthday and I'm failing terribly it seems ,_, just trying to figure these measurements out. Help please if you can? :3
I use google to convert inches to cm, you just time "X cm to inches" and it shows a converter, the same happens for currency (e.g. X USD to GBP) and normal calculator (e.g. 234 / 5) :D
46cm = 18in
17cm = 6.7in
21cm = 8.2in
happy birthday, btw! :3
thank you .. i am gathering my materials to try it for myself
try making ones from the thunderkid manga. They're huge!
Adoro este tutorial! Assim que comprar tule, vou fazer! :D
Tenho no entanto, duas perguntas! No tule também fazes french seams? A outra pergunta é quanto ao formato... este é mais bell-shaped, não? Tem um bocado de dificuldade em perceber ahahah ^^''
Adorei o tutorial! Continue! :) Obrigada!
Adorei! Tentarei fazer com o tule que ganhei! *-* UM perguntinha...saberia/poderia me dizer se ao invés de usar o tule mais durinho eu usasse organza, com as mesmas medidas, iria ficar menos cheio?E o modelo do vídeo em questão é A-line?
Sendo bem honesta, nunca trabalhei com organza, acho lindo mas nunca o fiz, mas acredito que ficaria um volume bastante similar pois organza arma bastante também :D
Hello! I love your tutorial! I was wondering how the netting lasts, as far as daily usage, with much squishing and sitting on it? I want to make myself a new petticoat before I go off to school again, but I'm not sure if it'll last the year. The one I made last summer completely deflated halfway through the year. Thank you for the lovely tutorial!
AudeGift Hey there! The netting is very resistant and usually takes a long time to die, here I have a small list of feedbacks and reviews if you're interested to see some customers' opinion on the petties I make :D www.melikestea.com/p/reviews.html
Lindo vou fazer pra minha filha Emily. 💗👍
I have no idea why its called a petticoat. but its gorgeous! I cant wait to try making one :)
I have no idea too but I love making them haha
a petticoat is a skirt worn under other skirts in victorian style clothing.
thank you for this! now I know how to do that kind of waist band!
its beautiful :) wish me luck while I do a toddler version for Halloween :P
What fabric is this??
And how many meters you had buy?
very useful, and your sound is very cute, :)
Eu não entendo nada de costura, mas com uma professora boa dessa, eu faria questão de aprender e andaria de anágua na rua UDJSAKDNASDJASDS
please make a written version of it ;; i really need this tutorial and it's so perfect but i can't really understand english when just spoken to me, i have to read it to understand TT
you explain very clear thanks god bless
where can I find the written version of this video? please~
wow that's really cute! I wish I could make that but it seems a little complicated o-o
I do have one question. What is Hard Netting? I can't seem to find it, and I would like to make a petticoat for my wedding dress :)
Look in the tulle section at your local fabric store, I'm sure an employee would be happy to help you find it if you aren't sure what to look for. It's just stiff mesh fabric that's often used in petticoats / crinolines, etc.
Are all the layers the same size? I wasn't sure. Also, will it turn out the same if I use just tulle instead of hard netting?
I think it would be kinda flat and not that "puffy", but let me know how it turns out if you try it :)
ahhhh finally a tutorial I understand
fantastic!!!!!
Gues what? I finally found the netting but since I dont have machine I cant do that now. But I definately try this if I get one.
Do you think you can make a lime green skirt like that and try to explain it more better
very professional
Hi i will try this but how is the elastic for le waist band??
Can you tell me which fabric is the inner skirt?
