![Lets redesign Marinette!! [this took 3 years to make]](/img/n.gif)
This is exactly how all the skirts I've bought in Japan are structured!
Watching in anticipation of my sewing machine that I will own one day in the future! ☺️
You could sew all of this by hand! It takes a lot longer but the seams will actually be stronger! Lots of tutorials online from vintage clothing enthusiasts. All it costs is the needle and thread as opposed to having to buy the full machine. Just a suggestion.
my brain could never compute how to do the elastic part along with using a side zip. thank you so much for explaining it! i'm going to make this skirt as soon as my fabric arrives :D
This is such a good video, thank you so much for this!! The instructions were super clear, even for an absolute beginner like me. There's other videos out there that cut parts of the progress and make it seem a lot more intimidating than it is. Thanks again, I also loved your setup and introduction! Everything's so dreamy. ✨💕😭
Aw, thank you so much!!! 😭💕 Your comment is really encouraging! And I'm so glad this was helpful for you and was easy to follow. I hope to make more videos like this in the future!
@@mya_uwuitsme I used a little over 2 yards for the skirt, plus extra for the waistband.
You have patience! That elastic part has been driving me crazy! I'm hoping to finish up my first skirt tomorrow. Thanks so much for the informative video!
Yeah, that step is a bit tricky. Keep at it, you got this! 👏 It makes me so happy to know that this video is helping others. I wish you luck with your project! 💕
Really cute skirt! I'm trying to make my own skirts, and your tutorial will help me so much with this fun task. Thanks and keep up your nice videos! 😊
Watching this entire video fully knowing I’ll probably lose motivation to actually do this
(especially since I’m pretty inexperienced) I want to make something custom for prom, but idk if I can pull it off. Either way I really enjoyed watching the video regardless, it was so soothing and satisfying and I love what u made!
Hi there! I finish my skirt today and it turned out beautiful 😍. Thanks to you. I’m definitely going to be making more skirts. 😊
I'm so happy to hear it! 👏😃
I LOVE your nonchalant attitude 😂. That's how I cook and the results are different every time but it's always delicious.
Nicely done, the pink in the skirt matches well with the hair bow.
Love the AMR cosplay
@@ieatkids03 Thanks what's AMR stand for? American? I'm a little old and don't keep up on all the lingo.
ahhhh this inspires me to get into sewing!!! such a pretty skirt 💗💗💗
Her: so east and simple ^^
Me: I- yeah “easy”
TwT
Haha yeah 😂 I'm gonna try to make one for my lolita dress I designed
That skirt is so cute!
Thank you so much! ☺
This was such a great tutorial, you are a great teacher! This is my first project ever with my sewing machine. the fact I actually got a skirt at the end is incredible, considering today was the first time I’ve ever sewing a garment in my life. I most certainly have you and this video to thank for that! I have been watching tutorial after tutorial for weeks now, just to get a gist of which one I actually wanted to try out. Most other super beginner friendly tutorial videos out there are for things that don’t really suit my style (Frankly, plain old circle skirts and camisole tops bore me to death!). This was a lifesaver! I’m super excited to make more of these with different trims, colors, etc…
Thank you so much for sharing this! I'd love to see a future video maybe on how to do waist ties and/or the tiered ruffled layers that you see on a lot of Lolita skirts! I'm a newbie at sewing but this has inspired me to try it!
Can I ask where you find your pretty fabrics?
Thank you for the great suggestion! I will look into making a video for waist ties 😊. Also, I found this fabric on Etsy!
THANK YOU!!! I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH I HATE ZIPPERS!
I had a baby and I love skirts but my size changed soooo much 😩 this is soooo helpful. my last elastic skirt was just not great
I'm so glad this helps you 😊
This skirt is darliiiinnggg I'll definitely be trying this, is there a specific petticoat I could wear with this? Or shape of petticoat?
Yay! This skirt works well with any standard cupcake or a-line lolita petticoat 👍
Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing, from Taiwan.
Working on mine now.. it's a struggle since I'm a absolute beginner to sewing but with patience and trail and error I'll get there
Started today! just measured and cut. Had to cut two of each panel cause my cotton fabric ended up being a little sheer. Will update as i keep sewing!
I apologize if I missed it, but how long should the elastic be? Thank you for sharing this video! I feel less intimidated and might try making some skirts now! ♥
Omggg I love it! I always wanted to make really cute skirts and this is a great tutorial, and super easy to follow!
This video was so easy to understand, thank you so much!! I love how it turned out :)
You are hilarious and very relatable! I went to school for fashion design and you said several things that I have just forgotten and that will make my life so much easier. I need to start using interfacing again
this is very helpful!! if i ever find some cute fabric to make a skirt out off i’ll definitely try this!!
This is an excellent tutorial, thank you for taking the time to share.
You’re so amazing! I love your sewing tutorial and I hope that you continue to make more video’s as you are so talented and have enjoyable content. 🌸💜🥰
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos ❤
@@fairyannechannel 💜🌸💕🌺
Oh my gosh . Super cute❤. I’m definitely going to try this for sure. Thank You so much for sharing!😊
I really love this tutorial so much! The one with altering skirts was also very helpful! Looking forward to more tutorial content!
(the fabric is so beautiful btw! i guess it's not available anymore, is it?)
Aw, thank you so much! I found the fabric on Etsy a few years ago and I’m pretty sure it’s a vintage print 😕 might be hard to find more of it but it’s possible!
@@fairyannechannelThank you so much for that hint! I screenshoted the fabric in the video and was able to find it on etsy via reverse image search! 😲
Thank you!! This is very useful!!
Just started my Lolita journey, got recommended this video and found it really helpful. Are there fabrics I should avoid using while making Lolita fashion? Or fabrics that work better than others?
I’m so glad this video was helpful! You can make lolita clothes out of most any fabric you want! I personally recommend starting with cotton fabrics as that is a very beginner friendly material. Cute prints, especially border prints will work great for lolita style! You can also add things like lace, pockets, aprons, waist ties, embroidery, etc. to make it extra cute and extra you 😊
As far as specific fabrics to avoid, I would stay away from using anything that has stretch to it. You want a fabric that can hold the shape/silhouette of lolita.
Why add elastic if you're gonna use a zipper anyway? Or just use elastic so you don't have to use the zipper. Why use both?
The zipper keeps the elastic from giving out over time from putting it on over and over and the elastic gives you extra room so it's not sitting tightly on your waist or hips. Over all it's for comfort. ☺️👍
You’re so talented, Rachel!! Miss you 💛
This is really helpful! Tho I'm going to have to rewatch the part with the zipper, I didn't quite understand
Thank you! It took me several tries and to get the hang of zippers. They are tricky! I didn't go into much depth about it in my video, so if you are still struggling, other tutorials specifically about zippers are super helpful ❤
@@fairyannechannel thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!
it's OK you can call me whatever you like
Also the skirt is super cute 💕
This is such a cute and useful tutorial! Thank you
You are amazing and soooo skillful! Please continue with this videos, they are a treasure ^ - ^
Something totally needed.
thank you so much!
This was really helpful
im not understanding how long the elastic needs to be for the waist band? is it just your waist measurement?
Yes 👍
Wow!! Wonderful
So neat!
Am i the 1000th subscriberrr???? 💗
I think you were!!!! Thank you so much for subscribing! ☺💖
Could you make video showing how to make the shirt your wearing if you haven’t already it’s so cute!
That's a great suggestion! I didn't make this blouse, but I might make a blouse sewing video sometime in the future 😊
Hi, are you wearing a petticoat under the finished skirt in the end?
Yes, I am! It's a simple a-line lolita petticoat
i have that exact blouse lol
It's Very Cute!! I want to be a Lolita Fashion designer too when i grow Up Since Ever since i watched your videos i want to sew Lolita Clothing Like You!! And I hope it's Okay to ask Questions cause here's One! -
1.Does Sewing Lolita Fashion Clothes Requires Hard Math? Because i'm Not Good At Math? And Is It Okay to Rely on a Caculator All The time To Make Lolita Clothings?
2.Is it Hard To Make Lolita Clothings?
3.And Last How Do I Become Succeful Lolita Designer When I Grow Up? Because I'm Afraid it'll be hard for me But I really want to reach my dream? I'm Only 11 years old And I Loved to be a Lolita One day And Sew Lolita Clothes!
Very cute ☺️
May i ask where you got the blouse you are wearing? It's super pretty
I found it on Amazon years ago! I'm not sure if it is still on there 🤔 you can find similar blouses on websights like Devilinspired.com or secondhand on Lacemarket.com
@@fairyannechannel thank youuu 😊
Hello beautiful skirt so is it 2 rectangles that are 39 inches long each making it 78 inches all together??
Correct 😊
When we do the measurements for the skirt do we add seem alliance also ??
I dont have an elastic for the waistband. But i have elastic thread that I can use to make a shirring. Will that work?
Oh yes! Shirring is a great option 👍
@@fairyannechannel thanks
Did you make the blouse too or bought?
I bought the blouse 🌸
Fairyanne thanks! And this is really helpful because I’ve been struggling with making skirts
So glad this was helpful for you!
Can I do this from elastic fabric?
Omg! I got it 🥹 I think I can do it just.need a sewing machine
Where did you get your fabric from?
It is vintage fabric that I got off of Etsy 😊
Woah I’m here at 9999 views
*doesn't have an iron*
I'm so confused on 1:33
Idk what I'm doing there ;_;
so you’re basting the fabric. Put the length on the highest and you just sew two straight lines! Then after she shows you to gather it.
@@LittleKoneko my thread keeps snapping when i pull on it tho, and I'm pulling very gently.
@@itschubbybunny6104 that means theres not enough tension, so you have to sew with a higher tension!
@@LittleKoneko I've been sewing at tension 9, the highest It'll go.
@@itschubbybunny6104 ok well thats an issue because that means it is too high and of course it would break. i assumed u were sewing at like... 2 or something. what fabric are you using?? fabric can snap if its too high or too little. and is there a specific machine u use.
