Whatever the reasons, but if you want to sew a summer long skirt on an elastic band and without a pattern by your own hands, but do not know how to do it, our master class will be useful to you. And do not worry about that sewing experience is missing. The sewing of this product is so simple that any girl who has never had a needle in her hands will cope with the task. So, we sew a long skirt with our own hands!

We will need:

  1. Sewing a simple, but very practical and stylish summer long skirt begins with the fact that we determine how much tissue we need. To do this, stand in front of the mirror and, unfolding the fabric, make one and a half turns around her waist. Cut off excess fabric. If you want to sew a long skirt with a smell, then the tissue will need 40-50 centimeters more.
  2. This completes the measurement process! As you can see, a pattern for sewing such a skirt model is not required. Now that the fabric is ready, you can start sewing the product. Fold the fabric by half, and sew the edges with a sewing machine. If you do not have one, you will have to sew the skirt manually. This, of course, will take more time, but the final result will not be affected.
  3. After the side seam is sewn, turn the product over to the front. You should get a wide and long "pipe".
  4. Now you need to process the top edge of the skirt. Take into account, fasteners and zippers in this model are not provided, so girls with wide hips and narrow waist need to process the upper cut of the skirt is not ordinary, and elastic threads. When processing the seam will be assembled into a fine fold, which is what we need.
  5. After you have finished and cut the thread, turn the product over to the front. Your "pipe" is now transformed and turned into a skirt.
  6. If the look of the rubber band suits you, then proceed to the processing of the hem of the skirt. Turn the edge by 0.5-1 centimeter, stitch and iron. An elegant skirt in the floor is ready! If you want to hide the gum, you have to do a tailoring of the belt. To do this, cut out of the fabric rectangle length of about one and a half meters and a width of at least 50 centimeters.
  7. Fold the fabric in half and stitch it. And again your detail will resemble a long tube, but narrower.
  8. After finishing the side seam of the belt, proceed to the processing of its ends. To do this, turn the part to the front side and bend the inside edge by 2-3 centimeters.
  9. Close them and you can start sewing.
  10. It remains to iron the finished product with an iron, cut off all sticking threads, put on a skirt and beautifully tie a wide waist around the waist.

Do not want to wear a long summer skirt in the floor, sewn with your own hands, with a textile belt? Feel free to replace it with a wide belt. This skirt is perfectly combined with the base tops, T-shirts with fashion prints, blouses that cover like a man's shirt, and even thin monophonic turtlenecks. As for shoes, the optimal solution is flat-rolled sandals, ballet flats or sandals with a low and steady heel. Complete the image with stylish accessories, and the truly summer image is ready!
