- Hello Everyone!
Today I’m making a steampunk inspired skirt for my costume by altering a simple peasant skirt. Looking online the kind of skirts I wanted were so expensive and the style is so simple to make I immediately knew I’d rather sew my own.
I picked up a simple, long peasant skirt at a thrift shop and simply stitched through the tiers in two straight lines up towards the waste. Tie the strings and reinforce the stitches and that’s it. So simple!
The whole project took less than 20 minutes start to finish and when paired with these awesome leggings from Amazon, the look is on point. I don’t have the rest of my costume finished yet, but I really like how the skirt turned out.
As I mentioned in the video, the leggings aren’t quite as vibrant in real life as they are in the picture online, but I do like them. If you’d like to pick up your own pair I’ll link them below.

I used this to make a draped pirate skirt and it's great! It was fast and simple. :) Thank you for the video!
Glad you found it helpful!
Ooo that’s what I’m using it for, glad it worked
'holds up black skirt I have 3 of in my drawer' sweet!
I just bought the leggings from amazon a few hours ago! I was so excited for this coincidence, like a live review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
You are brilliant!!!. I have been looking for simple, easy instructions in order to remake a black satiny chemise in this design for a witch costume all day!!! Thank you so much!
This is very helpful! I’m kind of doing a diy for some of my costume this year
Glad you liked it. Hope your costume turns out great!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to wear a steampunk-style skirt for the Renaissance Festival this year, and just like you said they were super expensive! I’m going thrifting with a friend soon, so I’ll be on the lookout for a skirt that will work for this project.
That is really great, I like to continue the ruching all around the skirt, making the side gathers longer, but then that creates the "gathered shape" all around, and does not bunch it up in the front.
Or it needs lotsa ruffles on the back!
Great video! LOVE IT!
See the whole finished look?
That's a great idea! Glad you liked the video. I don't have the whole look on the vid, but it's on my instagram (a ways back now) @starsetmoonfire if you want to see what I put together for the whole look. :)
Love it. I'm wanting to do this with my layer skirt for a steampunk party
Hope it turns out awesome!
@@StarsetMoonfire it did turn out awesome
Thank you 😊 this was just the tutorial i needed for my halloween costume!!!
Thanks for this tutorial, I'm thinking of making a steampunk outfit for Halloween this year. I would add a tulle or similar petticoat under the skirt to give it volume and a bustle.
I love your tights and am going to Amazon them now. I hope they still have them.
Hope it turns out great!
i know this is a old comment but im curious how the tulle/petticoat turned out for you? im thinking of making this skirt as well for Renn Faire and i was also thinking of doing a short tulle skirt to add volume to the top area. thx :)
thank you for this! just wanted to add a bit of a flare to my birthday dress and I hope this works out :)
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!

Hey! I have a skirt I'm planning to do this with, but can you undo it? Like, can I take out the stitches and wear it without anyone noticing that the skirt was changed?
Depending on the fabric, yes. Anytime you push a needle through something a little hole is made. On cotton, knits, gauzy fabric like this skirt, you won't see anything because the fabric is loosely woven and naturally has holes in it and the threads shift enough to go back into place. But on tightly woven fabrics, like satin etc. You will still see the marks.
@@StarsetMoonfire Thank you! This helps a lot!
For this particular type of skirt you could sew small plastic rings (as used in Roman shades) on the inside of the skirt at the ruffle tier seams and use string or ribbon threaded through to pull the skirt up, and then release them to wear the skirt in the normal way.
