Thank you for a very informative tutorial. I have been learning this method with bodices. I absolutely love the end finish results so I am learning to do it with skirts now. Your video has been more helpful to me than any others I’ve found on UA-cam. Thanks again 🙏 ❤
Huge HUGE thank you for this, it is a wonderful design. I used an unlined pattern for the sizing because I had one around, doubled it for the lining and used your method of construction. It is perfect and I could have never imagined it up in my head. We’ll done
wooow👏👏👏😘 I tried this and it was good.....Thnks God bless you🙏🥰 but pls make a tutorial on a straight gown with half cut please be detailed about removing the zipper bulge🙏🙏🙏🙏
I really wish you lived next door! I get totally lost at the hem.... Once I can figure it out, I am sure to love this technique. For now, I am still trying to find my way....
Usually, for ease of wearing, the zipper should be about the same length as the hipline but if the person's hips is bigger than the waist measurement, say a difference of about 10" and above, I'll advise the zipper to be 5" - 6" longer than the hip line.
Please can this lining enclose zipper be done on a princess dart bodice and skirt to be joined as gown. Please not it will have turn up at the down part of the skirt just like yours. If yes, please how?
U are a great teacher ,My waist is 27 and hip 39,i went into the zip allow by 1 ,then remove 1 for the length of the but it didn't align with the front skirt length .where did i go wrong
Hi. Thanks Following this method, the CF and the CB will not align in height but the sides must align If you watch the sewing tutorial, you’ll also observe this. If that’s the case, just go ahead and sew. It’s not a problem.
Really wish you didn’t speed up the video. For us beginners it’s hard to see what you’re doing. Please allow others to manually speed it up if it’s too slow for them. Most people who are watching this are trying to learn and need to see all the steps clearly. Thank you!
Thanks for the observation. However, viewers are more likely to click and watch short videos (about 10mins) than the long ones😊 Did you know that you could also reduce the speed? Settings➡️playback speed➡️ choose 0.5 or .75

You're welcome That is even easier. You do not have to make it fully lined. Cut the lining shorter than the lace fabric. Sew the lace and lining separately Sew the zipper and put a slit on the lace but not on the lining Leave the zipper area of the lining unsewn Hem the lining After all these, use the lining to turn the lace at the waist area Then sew the back seam allowance of the lining on the tape of the zipper straight down
Hello. After drafting your pattern, measure 1.5-2inches downwards from the waistline all around. Then cut it out. close the dart line on the band pattern. this will form your band pattern. while cutting on fabric, cut the top part of the band pattern on fold. lastly, remember to add 0.5" joining allowance on both the band and the skirt pattern.
Thanks for the video, on the front part of the skirt you subtracted 1.5inches from the hip line to get the knee wide, but for the back u subtracted 1inch, won't the back be bigger than the front when sewing
Trust me, if you follow all the steps in this video, you'll get a perfectly fitted skirt. You can also watch this for more clarity: ua-cam.com/video/higP8B9YR1o/v-deo.html
Hi You probably didn’t blend all pointy edges well before sewing. You can do this with free-hand or with the french curves Please watch the pattern making video
@@GraceyStitches i tried to do it as you did but I don’t have a French curve that might be why, because everything else is perfect just this point is weird
@@marinevaletudie9617 It’s not too late to adjust it. Okay… use a tailors chalk to draw a subtle arc on that area first (do it on the wrong side of the skirt). Once you are satisfied with the curve you have drawn, sew on that chalk line.
Ball? what kind of fabric did you use? Please ensure to use a breathable fabric and also, ensure to iron as you sew. Do these so that air or moisture is not trapped inside your fabric.

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. For the bottom seam, don't we need fabric gum to prevent the imbalances of the main fabric and lining over time?
Huge HUGE thank you for this, it is a wonderful design. I used an unlined pattern for the sizing because I had one around, doubled it for the lining and used your method of construction. It is perfect and I could have never imagined it up in my head. We’ll done

Thank you so much, this really helped me now that I needed it

I love this..pls will d zipper get to the hip or before d hip or after the hip to enable d person to wear it..pls I find that difficult thanks ma

Please can this lining enclose zipper be done on a princess dart bodice and skirt to be joined as gown. Please not it will have turn up at the down part of the skirt just like yours. If yes, please how?
Nice
Please how many inches did you use to sew the lining at the slit area?
This is mostly helpful. I suggest that you use fabric that shows a distinct difference between the right and wrong side of the fabric.
Tnz for d added knowledge buh am kind of confuse,is d lyning going to b d same length with that of d fabric
No, lining length is usually shorter
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Just love it
U are a great teacher ,My waist is 27 and hip 39,i went into the zip allow by 1 ,then remove 1 for the length of the but it didn't align with the front skirt length .where did i go wrong

Thank you
I love this, thanks for this been looking for this God bless you,can you this using a lace fabric with a lining that won't get to the hem? Pls
You're welcome
That is even easier. You do not have to make it fully lined.
Cut the lining shorter than the lace fabric.
Sew the lace and lining separately
Sew the zipper and put a slit on the lace but not on the lining
Leave the zipper area of the lining unsewn
Hem the lining
After all these, use the lining to turn the lace at the waist area
Then sew the back seam allowance of the lining on the tape of the zipper straight down

Pls ma what if we're attaching a band, how am I going to do it
Keep the top of your skirt open then sew the band to it.
Il sewing the skirt but the side of the hip part are making points I don’t understand…

All was going well till I sewed the top part of the skirt..ohh my..I now have a ball for a skirt
Ball? what kind of fabric did you use? Please ensure to use a breathable fabric and also, ensure to iron as you sew. Do these so that air or moisture is not trapped inside your fabric.
@GraceyStitches thank you for the response. Greatly appreciated. Apparently I had turned it wrongly. Tried again and it was perfect.thank you so much
