Hello! I am permanently separating a balloon skirt and beading the outer layer by hand and wanted to know as to how I would finish the raw gathered hem edge? It has folds, and I don't want to disrupt the design.
ua-cam.com/video/sUW7mvZMmEc/v-deo.html here is the video of how to make a quater circle skirt. I did not add any extra material for gathering the hem because it is already flared out
@@NomondeMketshane yes I meant for the waist? Does there need to be some added to the waist so it still fits after gathering? Thank you for the help! Love you videos
@@MsJayOKAY If you want to have elastic on the waist like I did you can just use your hip measurement instead of waist measurement so that you have extra fabric for elastic to stretch. There are no gathers on the waist just elastic. Use hip circumference for both skirts
@@sinobomnompuku5013 Extra centimetres for elastic is added on both the waist of the skirts (main skirt and the lining)and the waist band because the band needs to fit the waist of the skirt. Check out this video it is a skirt with an elastic as well to give you more idea ua-cam.com/video/LBMOEBOh728/v-deo.html
I have watched a few videos for this skirt, I can say this is the most straight forward video I have seen. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much... you made it look so easy now I can completely undertsand

How about using a bias binding to finish the raw edge
@@NomondeMketshane That's a good idea! Thank you. What kind of fabric should the binding be? The dress itself is a polyester lining material
@@violetadominguez6632 Something that will match your fabric, maybe those silky/satin ones.
Which fabric did you use. The name of the fabric. I have a hard time knowing which fabric to use
It's one of those cheap cottons... I think it's Poly cotton.
It’s so good 😍
How do I make the 1/4 circle skirt? And since there is gathering how much extra do you add to the fabric

I love this sis wam, I want to try making this
I love it too....go for it and give it a try 🤗
@@NomondeMketshane now tell me when you added extra CMs for the waist was it only on the band or the skirt also?

@@NomondeMketshane I did the skirt 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊 thank you so much
@@sinobomnompuku5013 Wooow that is lovely I am so happy for you 🤗❤️
Maybe explain what gathering stitches are?
Basting stitch where you set your stitch length to be long and loose so that you can pull the thread and gather the material.
Sooo beautiful 🎉❤
