- How to Sew an Elasticated waist skirt (for beginners) Stitchless TV sewing channel presents.... A skirt that you make in minutes. This is an easy DIY for beginners.It's an easy way to make a simple elasticated skirt in minutes. I like to think it has a bit of Dolce and Gabbana look about it!
Love love the skirt, i especially love how you put the elastic b4 you sewed up the seam definately making it for my girls. You are an amazing instructor. You make this novice sewer empowered to sew!. Thanks
Ooo....hello again Fbrowne, yeh......I have this thing that many people have a problem with the whole seeing things in 3D so I try to keep tings in 2D for as long as possible,
Tree
Gorgeous fabric, gorgeous design and utterly gorgeous instructor! Love your videos Tree 🙏🙏🎉
You are kind....Thankyou. It was a while ago now but I think It was curtain fabric.

I've seen different techniques for inserting elastic in the waist but I have to say I absolutely love this one. I'll try this the next time.
Thankyou. For me, it's all about making the process as easy as possible for the sewer but still maintaining a good finish. Hook luck with the skirt. Tree x
Can you believe i never sewn a skirt with elastic waist?!....now i need one to layer underneath my dresses and tunics. Brilliant just brilliant how you do the elastic before sewing the sideseams....thank you so much for making my life so much easier with, for you, brilliant tips like that!!1 XXX
Oh.....Hello! I think you should do a Subtraction Pattern Cutting skirt? I thi k that if you start with Angela's A Line Skirt block then it will become something very amazing. Tree Xxx (I can't believe you have not made skirt with elastic and this is aimed at beginners but I sometimes still do like this if I am in a hurry!
@@StitchlessTV i want to do a substraction skirt but your video is a dress and not a skirt....don't know how to do a sub skirt x
Ok...May need to do a video.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Love the fabric! Love the braiding! Did I say it was lovely? Lovely, lovely! Thank you!

Thanks alot,
Tree
Greetings
I believe I'm able to make a skirt.
Once I've made one I'll let you know, just got two weeks left on a project I need to finish.
This lockdown has me finishing off old projects.
Love love love your channel.
Thankyou so much and definitely look forward to seeing your skirt! Tree X
Tree...I love this. I'm trying this today. Thanks again.
Sheriell Powell Oooo....I hope you do have a go....I'd love to see it if you do!
Tree
I positively LOVE the fabric! 💟
Kelly Alfieri Hi, thankyou so much, it's a curtain fabric. Tree
You’re amazing and so talented!!!!
You are kind. Thankyou X
Young lady I really liked the skirt. Between the lace/beads and the bright colors with the raw edge made it pop out. I was thinking that you could have added a second row of raw edge of the bottom of the skirt. Giving the skirt a look of lace and yet still chic look. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Have a nice weekend.
Yeh.....Linda Mendoza, that's a great idea!
Thanks alot,
Tree
Love this skirt.
That braiding is really gorgeous! You know Tree, I always thought that pressing elastic would ruin it. I was told that as a child when I was then learning to sew.
Hello Flawlessand Fancy, so long as you don't stretch it whilst you iron it.
Tree
STITCHLESS TV how to sew fashion tutorials
Hello Tree. Ah, ok. Thanks. :)
I love all of your videos! Thank you so much!!
I like that part... where you said, I'm making things up as I go because that's what designing is...
But it's true!!! Values911.
Thankyou for the comment.
Tree
If you like me, love tourism scarf prints and other unusual prints..... then watch this Amazing Designer Fabric report by Stitchless TV sewing vlog. I found this online fabric store that do very similar fabrics to Dolce & Gabbana. They sell alot of the fabrics by repeat so check the lengths and you'll see it's quite a bargain. Tree x
Ok ....
I verry like to see how you sew, its verry simple and make me fun to do it at home...
Thanks Tree....
vara ranti Thankyou, very glad that you liked it!
Tree
Gorgeous! I will sew one for myself :)
Ooo....really! Well will you share it with me on Facebook Stitchless Tree or email me a picture tree@stitchless.co.uk . Thankyou ilknur Ozbk.
Tree
This tutorial is very helpful! I was wondering how one adds pleats to a skirt with an elastic waistband?
Love it!
+Newcreations2011 Thankyou, always good for me to hear!! Tree X
yes, very creative , I have done design course in Paris (1980) and also London School of fashion in 1985, after watching yr programe, remind me a lot
+Candice Kwan Well you must be an expert!! Thankyou for watching. Take a look at some of the TR Cutting Origami Bodice tutorials, I'm sure they will interest you. Tree x
Tree, this is a great video. I also have a thing for haberdashery. Its what makes homemade garments completely individual. Will definitely have a go at this. Thank you x
Well if you do have a go Donna Lester......I hope you'll share a picture on my facebook page or email me a picture tree@stitchless.co.uk
Thankyou,
Tree
I love this and its quite easy too. Could it be a strapless top if it was narrower and do you have any videos for bandeau/corset type tops....Thanks Tree :)
Absolutely...how creative of you! Serryblue22 and I have my eye on an Armani top and skirt where they are both made like this (but without the peplum) and are worn together.
Thanks alot,
Tree
So very helpful
Thankyou, I'm so glad!! This technique is just a fool proof way of making an elasticated skirt....when you become more experienced you may wish to make it as a complete cylindrical shape. Tree X
Absolutely love this Tree, I know you said it was curtain fabric but what type of fabric is it exactly? How much fabric did you use? Brilliant tut!
Love it Tree!!
Thankyou Mrsdcole30.
Tree
I love this
Sheriell Powell Thankyou.....you can see my blog on tumlr showing where I got the braiding from.
Tree
love this
+Phyllis Canning Thankyou. Tree X
Love the raw edges on the skirt.thanks for the tip on sewing elastic so it doesn't roll. My 3 girls are gonna love it.also really loving your top.how do you make that.? :)
Ooo.........Trisha Nicholas.......you know what I'm going to say don't you!! If you do make your girls those skirts will you share with me a picture on Stitchless TV or email me to tree@stitchless.co.uk You can just show the skirts if you don't want them to be seen on Facebook.
Thanks alot,
Tree
You Bet ! Love ya and your videos.xoxo
Hallo Tree :-)I love the skirt but, I really really love your fantastic shirt :-)
Well martina simone, I'm so glad you liked my Vintage Scarf Top because here's a link to the video tutorial th-cam.com/video/A-Klue2Y0W0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks alot,
Tree
I don't know what you've changed, but the way this video looks is amazing! I know it sounds odd, but it made everything even easier to follow :')
What you mean James Lowe , like you didn't need motion sickness tablets??? Yes...... well, I'm embarrassed to say that it's called 'Buying a tripod'
How could I have never bought one before.....what an idiot!!
Thankyou though for your reassuring comments.......glad it's working.
Tree
Just thought I would put this together for those not familiar with the lovely UK terms.
UK English to North American English.
Haberdashery = Notions
Pritt Stick = Glue Stick
Stitchless TV "bobkin" = Bodkin
Bondaweb = Double-sided Iron-on Interfacing
Raffia Braiding = Burlap Ribbon
Non-turning Elastic = No Roll (or Non-Roll) Elastic
Thanks sew much Tree for your fabulous tutorials. :) Wish I was there!
Hello violetgypsie, wow that's 'sew......' good! Thankyou. Most of them are actually the proper English terms too, just I'm such and idiot for not knowing the correct names!!
Tree
STITCHLESS TV how to sew fashion tutorials
Well you sew fantastically and you have good taste, so no worries :)
OHHHHHHHHHHH! I thought haberdashery was from a hat store. LOL! thanks for the easy video, gonna make my first skirt this weekend.
violetgypsie what about "stickie-outie"? That was my favorite!
Hello Tree, I love your skirt. You are so inspiring. Thank you! =)
It's really easy to make.....you could do it!
Tree
I will. :)
Oh my gosh, that was a beautiful skirt! I have been trying to find a particular skirt for an outfit I want, and now I think I'll just make it myself! :D thank you for these awesome tutorials! (I know I'm a bit late haha)
I LOVE it!
Thankyou pristinabread

Hi Tree I have another request I always seem to have problems with neck lines is there a easy way to work with them v-neck, peter pan,just to name a few, just different ones they never seem to look professional do you have a on this. just neck lines or collars
Alfreda sims Ok...yes that sounds like a good idea to me. Meanwhile have you seen any of my How to sew a T-shirt videos where I show you an easy way to add a ribbed neckline? Tree x
I will check it out now
Omg I love your top!!! I'm just binge watching all your videos right now. 💕. How many sewing machines do you have?
+Chihuahuaization Amelie I think I have 10 machines. To make my Top just watch the video of HOW TO MAKE A TOP IT OF VINTAGE SCARVES. Thankyou, Tree X
love it
Love it! X
Did you make that blouse out of silk scarf? Make a tutorial, it looks amazing!
Yes GreyGarden I did make this top out of Vintage Tourism Silk Scarves and guess what.....here is the video tutorial! th-cam.com/video/A-Klue2Y0W0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks alot,
Tree
brilliant! thank you very much :)
ive got an old sewing machine but i dont know how to thread the bobin, any tips please, i love your videos
Hello Simon Gunns,
Check the make and model and search online for the instruction booklet. Or this video may help th-cam.com/video/n7SxLOq6sd4/w-d-xo.html (it's not brilliant but might give you some ideas) Each machine is a bit different.
Also, if the machine has not been used or serviced for ages it may not work very well. You might need to give it some oil.
Don't know if that was any help.
Tree
great idea thankyou very much, for your reply, ill come back and get some ideas when i have it up and running , thanks again
thankyou for your tip Tree i found a manual for my old machine (a viceroy) and i will get it up and running and attempt to make a Luis Vuitton skirt like you made. thanks again
I love it all. And as an American, we don't use the word Haberdashery. (First heard on Brit show: Are You Being Served?) ;we do have thrift stores and second hand stores to find such goodies. I never thought of using that type of fabric... great!...dee
Hello DeeLightful Co , I can't believe you don't use the word 'Haberdashery' so what do you call the bits and bobs, zips, buttons and braidings and ribbons etc? Lovely to hear from you!
Thanks alot,
Tree

MsBuggywuggy you are my absolute favorite on youtube for sewing tutorials. I love hearing new words like Haberdashery and ponch.
Ah....thankyou MsBuggywuggy!
Tree
Haberdashery refers to sewing "notions" or all the bits and pieces that accompany the art of sewing, thread, zips, etc..
hey do u need to use elastic thread? and whats the difference between them?
***** in general no, not often because when sewing stretch fabric I rely more on the stitch being stretch eg. a slight zig zag or using a twin needle to #sew the hem of a stretch fabric. I have a tutorial of how to use a twin needle. Thanks alot,
Tree
Tre do you ever do anything for Renaissance clothing? Patterns are extremely expensive.
Well so far betty m no, but I could if you show me some examples. I might do a contempory take on it though. Send some links of pics to stitchless@hotmail.co.uk
Thankyou,
Tree
woooooo lovely
+Jacqueline Bobcombe Glad you liked it! Tree X
Sewing notions = haberdashery
In the US (depending on locations) haberdashery has been used to refer to men's wear clothing accessories. Noticed the question thought I would answer. Love the skirt.
Is that right Ritde77 ? Thankyou for pointing that out to me. Amazing how we speak the same language but there are still so many differences....
Tree
HI TREE THE LONG THING IS CALLED A LOOP TURNER X X X X HOPE I GET A MENTION IN YOUR VIDEOS SOME TIME AND YOU NRED TO MAKE MORE LOL IV WATCHED THEM ALL HAHA X X
Richy James OO......CAPITALS....THAT'S SERIOUS!! Yes thankyou, I now know it's a loop turner, had a frozen brain moment but how do you know what it's called? You might get a mention.....some day! Thanks alot, Tree

So i went on google and typed in seeing took used to turn straps around and looked on images until i seen it ... Then clicked the website at the bottom and found out what its called lmfao x x x
Greetings
Go to make this one
Great....Hope you have fun! Tree x
Hello Tree, melody here. I have a huge request for you. I was watching upcycling tutorials today and came aacross something wonderful. It was by Miss Louie called OOTD: American Apparel Chiffon Skirt = 5 Different Looks! You can find it by searching that title above. Coming to my point, the skirt is a sheer type with two layers, and she shows five different styles to wear it, very very unique. I would love to see your adaption of the skirt maybe using two different colors and making it reversable. Please please watch the video, i know you would love it, and maybe become inspired. Its nice to use one piece of clothing and beable to wear it several times and different ways. I hope this will inspire you to create outfits similar that can adapt to many versitile fashions. Your amazing, thanks so much for inspiring me to learn this new craft.
Melody Ast Thankyou Melody, yes I just watched it, this would be a very easy skirt to make and maybe I should give it a go. I will have a think about it but feel free to remind me. Tree x
I love it!! Still no closed caption :(
So when you click on transcript what happens? Maria Goumas.
Thankyou,
Tree
bellissimo :)
Grazie Doriana Zisi,
Tree
There is no CC at the bottom I don't know why??
Oh...I'm sorry.
Tree
I meant Tre, darn auto correct. There when you don't want it, but not when you need it.
