Hi Everyone! Here’s the formula for the skirt if you need to make adjustments to the width of the tiers: 1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5 2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2 3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2 Hopefully this helps! Happy Sewing✂️❤️
Hi! I'm a little bit confused because this math doesn't seem to go with what you've got at 0:48 in the video. You've got your tier 2 at 27.5" which would make the total tier 2 circumference 110" compared to tier 1 at 60", is that correct? But that doesn't make tier 2 = tier 1 x 2. By the math you've put in the comment, if tier 1 is 60", tier 2 should be 120" in total, and tier 3 should then be 240" in total. Then each tier is gathered to half its original length. Am I completely off base here? 😅
You’re right. Just use the math you got / the math in the pinned comment and it’ll be fine, a difference of 10” won’t really make that big of a difference in a design like this.
So it depends on how wide your fabric is (and also what your measurements are), but if your using a 60” wide fabric like the one I used in the video then you would need 2 for the 1st and 2nd tiers and 4 for the 3rd to give the full length for each tier.
Ahh that sounds so cute!! Also low-key jealous that you found a gingham print WITH strawberries on it 🍓 Strawberries are one of my favorite motifs in lolita! So I already know your blouse is going to turn out super cute! And then pairing it with a tiered skirt is just going to be 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Oh, that top stiching really adds a level of professionalisim! I never even concidered it and instead just folded all the seams into themselves and either whipstiched them (showing seams) or just zigzaged them (invisible layers). What a good tip, will definitely pic it up on my next layeredskirt project. As everyone has alredy pointed out: this tutorial video was really easy and fun to follow. You did great job with showing all the important details imo.
Right? lol It's a super small detail but it seriously make such a difference in the end result. Plus usually brand will do this anyway but make hide the top stitching by placing lace over those areas, which is another option you try if you don't like the look of top stitching. - Also thank you so much for your feedback! It makes me feel a lot less nervous now about making future step-by-step tutorials so I really appreciate it! ❤️
I adore your channel. Please come back. You are a Gem between rocks. Literally one of the most aesthetic & simple + actually understandable sowing channels ever.
this tutorial is incredible!! I’m finally getting a sewing machine soon in the hopes of adding some handmade pieces to my wardrobe, and seeing such a wonderfully informative video along with seeing the final result makes me even more excited to get started!! you did a great job at making this project accessible to even the most novice of seamstresses and I can’t thank you enough for it! 💜
i just made this with light blue gingham!! my first time sewing a garment! thank you for the tutorial, i just had to convert the measurements to cm and then everything was easy to follow!
thank you so much for uploading this…it is so perfect to me because i actually recently tried making a skirt by tracing one of my meta skirts…but it was hard to figure the exact measurements of each piece, since it was shirred. so i messed up big time..it was a three tiered skirt like this too!now i have a perfect guideline to look at and try again: D
Ohh, I know what you mean! In my case though, I don't actually own any meta pieces (aside from a parasol and small tote bag) lol So me attempting to make this skirt consisted of me looking at dozens of low quality skirt photos on lolibrary and trying to guess at how they constructed their skirts. While my skirt isn't an exact copy of a meta skirt, I think I managed to get pretty close, so you could definitely use this as a base to recreate your own! - So sending you all the good luck and sewing motivation for your next attempt at trying to make this skirt 🍀👍🏾❤️
You explained the steps super well! I don't think I've ever seen a waistband done like that, and it made perfect sense the way you explained it. Do you mind saying what length your waistband pieces were? I'm fairly sure mine would need to be longer to the point were I'd have to change the length of all the tiers as well. It would give me a good starting point for the math.
this tutorial is so helpful! i'm using this skirt for my ena shinonome cosplay and it looks amazing so far. thank you so much for sharing! i'd love to see more tutorials in the future ^^ /nf
Finally finished it! It’s so cute. I started by hand sewing until a surprise bonus helped me acquire a sewing machine lmao. Very cute skirt thank you again for the tutorial. Might take pictures for the instagram at some point ✌️I tried to add pockets and ended up putting the smallest pocket to ever exist on a skirt😅
I just love your channel so much! The editing makes your videos such a joy to watch as well as very helpful when it comes to sewing. I was really inspired by your Lolita sewing videos and they were what finally encouraged me to start sewing my very own Lolita dress so thanks a ton!
Thank you so much!! It makes me beyond happy to hear that something I made could inspire someone else enough to try sewing their own lolita clothes😊 So here's me sending you all the luck, motivation, and encouragement to make your own lolita dress 🍀❤️
This tutorial is sooo well done!!! Great job! Super clear instructions and you've included an answer to most of questions one may ask! I definitely want to try this with red gingham and some pockets!
Yay! Thank you so much for your feedback! Honestly the one thing I was worried about while editing this was that it would only make sense to me and not to the people watching it 😅 lol! So I really appreciate your comment and would love to see your red gingham version of this skirt if you do decided to make it! ❤️
WOW OH MY GOODNESS i haven’t tried it yet but thank you so much, I’m a beginner at sewing and this was so well explained, its the first video i actually understood and i can’t wait to try it
this tutorial is really good!! i just started sewing recently (because i wanted to be able to make my own lolita clothes!!) and i think i'l definitely try this project when i have more experience down :D
This is such a good tutorial!! I rarely see tier lolita skirt tutorials and you explained it super clearly and it helped a lot! Thank you so much, I can't wait to make a skirt like yours :)))
Same!! lol Considering the amount of lolita skirt tutorials that you can find here on UA-cam or just around online, I'm still surprised that I haven't come across a tiered skirt tutorial, especially considering how cute they are and how easy they are to put together. - Anyways I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and would love to see your version of this skirt if you do decided to make it! 😊
Oh thank you! Lol I don't know if ever been told that my voice is calming, so thanks 😂 - Also cutsews are definitely on my list of DIY's/Tutorials I want to make in the future, so definitely be on the look out for that video!
I thought this was a really good tutorial so I thought I’d try it out myself!! First thing is I cut the pieces to tier 3 and 1 to then realize I messed up and doing have enough fabric for tier 2. So now I get to drive to my grandmas house to pick some more fabric.Second thing is I forgot to add seam allowance on tier 1 and 3. I’m off to a great start!
I wonder about using a draw string, like sweat pants, instead of the elastic? Did you also make the crinoline? Considering everyone has different size waists, wouldn't the tiers also vary on the lengths (around)?
oh my gosh! I have plans to sew nearly this exact skirt! black gingham, elastic waist, 3 tiers, I will need pockets though ;o I am taking this as a sign that we are both incredibly stylish : D. Regardless, I love your videos, and this tutorial is amazing, thank you for making more lolita sewing videos!!!
Yessss!! This video is 100% your sign to make the skirt with pockets!! - Also I don't know why, but black gingham just works so well for the summertime! I know a lot of people prefer red gingham, but there's just something about the look of a tiered black gingham skirt that just screams summer to me 🖤
ooh this is a wonderful tutorial!! i’ve had a large pink bedsheet that i thrifted hanging around for a while and i think this is the perfect project for it hehe edit - do you have any tips for sizing this pattern up? will the proportions still work if i just add the same amount extra to each tier, or should i graduate my additional width too?
Hi! So the math for tiers are as follows: 1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5 2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2 3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2 So if you’re looking to resize your skirt to make it bigger, really the only measurement you need is your waistband length and then it’s just doubling the length of each tier (minus the 1st tier, if X’s by 2 it may look a little bulky which is why I reduced it to 1.5). Hopefully this helps! Also sorry for the delayed response 😅
@@SewBlack oh thank you so much that’s amazing!!! and don’t worry at all omg i wasn’t really expecting a reply but i figured it couldn’t hurt to ask! i can’t wait to get started!!! 💕
Your welcome💜 I usually try to check my comments once a week but I’ve been especially busy this past month and a half soooo I haven’t really been doing that 😅 oops lol! Regardless, if you ever have a question don’t be afraid to ask! It may take me awhile to respond but typically do respond!
omg thank you soo much for the tutorial. I'm in love with your channel everything is very informative and nicely explained. thank you for the motivation to learn more about sewing and diy lolita
Hi I want to try this skirt! But 3 tiers is too long for me so i rather do just 2 of them. ( 4.5'' tier 1 cut 2 on fold and 6'' tier 2 cut 4 on fold) are those good measurements?
Hello :) i really want to try this pattern. The skirt looks AMAZING but i’ve got a problem. In my country we use cm. When you said « 1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5 2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2 3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2 » x2 and x1,5 is in inch ?
Hi! Yes all the measurements in the video are in inches but regardless of whether you use inches or cm the math used to create the skirt is still the same. For the skirt I made, the full length of my 2nd tier was about 279 cm (110 inches) and my 3rd tier was 558cm (220 inches). It’s supposed to be a full skirt that can hold a lot of petticoat, however if you’re worried about it being too big you could always use x1.5 instead of x2 to bring down the fullness.
how is it that i can barely understand it 💀, hopefully once i have the fabric in my hands I'll have an epiphany or something. you did a great job explaining, im just stupid.
Hi! So I had to check on this because I honestly had no idea 😅 The one I’m currently using is a universal 90/14 (size 14), which I believe came with my machine. I do have other needles for working with thicker fabrics like denim and a few twin needles I use from time to time but other than that I don’t have much experience with other types of needles. Maybe you could try using a larger/heavy duty needle? It could be that the type of needle you have isn’t strong enough to handle the type of fabric you’re using 🤔 But again, I have very limited experience with this.
I'm sorry I'm really confused about all the measurements, why does tier 1 not say cut on the fold but on the placement info there's 2 on the fold??? it should only be one not on the fold so when you cut it it makes 2 because of the folded fabric, is this correct??
Tier 1 isn’t placed on the fold in the picture, only tiers 2 and 3 if you look at it. It looks like you’re confusing tier 1 and 2 which is likely why the measurement info isn’t making sense. Tier 1 isn’t cut on fold, which means when you cut it out on your fabric you’ll have 2 pieces for your tier 1 (A front piece and a back piece), so yes you’re correct on that part.
also just FYI I bumped into someone this weekend where I was vending who also made this! so amazing! they did a better job than me hahaha . Gonna try again!!!
Question, if my hip measurement is over 15” more than my waist am I better off adding a couple extra inches to the waistband pattern or just leaving it as is and pulling it on over my head? I carry all my weight around the hip area and none in the chest so I could definitely get away with pulling it over my head but being able to step in and pull it up is so much easier that I figured I’d ask if that would cause a chain reaction if annoying pattern adjustments or anything
I love the skirt!!! I’ll definitely be doing this soon but I have one question. What are the extra measurements you put under the video? I’m having a hard time understanding them.
Hello! So basically the measurements for the tiers are as follows: 1st tier = waistband measurements x 1.5 2nd tier = 1st tier measurements x 2 3rd tier = 2nd tier measurements x 2 So in your case if your waist measurements are larger than what I have listed, all you need to do is take that measurement and X’s it by 1.5 to give you your tier 1 length and then X’s each additional tier by 2 to get your remaining tiers. Hopefully that helps and makes sense 😅
Hiya. Upscaling the pattern is not that easy. Don't increase the bottom Tier or it will be too big for your crinoline/hoop. I made this mistake :( This means the 2nd Tier and 1st tier may need to change or not depending on your Waist size to look gathered the right amount. I'm new to sewing so I can't really help more than that but my Tier 3 length was 5 folds instead of 4 using this basic multiplier method and it looks hilariously too big on the bottom😅 That said, thank you for this tutorial! It's very inspirational and helpful even with the upscaling trouble. Just posting this for any other future plus size sewists to save on mistakes
Sorry to bother but i had trouble understanding if the measures are supposed to be 36" for waistband (in my case), 60" for the first tier, 55" for the second tier and 110" for the third tier, or rather 110" for second tier and 220" for third tier? English isn't my first language and as an european im not familiar with inches, hence the confusion Thank you if you'll reply Amazing tutorial, can't wait to get to sewing ^^
Did you put a petticoat underneath it to poof it out? Would a petticoat and hoopskirt combo fit underneath this skirt with your tier measurements or would I have to make adjustments?
Okay I think I've figured it out. I'm short so I can just rotate the pattern 90° (so the width of the fabric is how long the skirt is), but if you're taller then you might need to do that and then also use two pieces of fabric for the pattern
I actually *just* made this skirt today and I could only find 44" fabric as well. What I did was fold my fabric in the opposite direction it was sold to me, (rotating it like you said). But, I had to use three yards of fabric! I bought one piece that was two yards, then a separate one yard piece. Two yards was definitely not enough if you're going by the exact measurements. (I also had to sew two of the tier 2 pieces together as well, because I didn't have room for them to be the fold like she said.) After you cut out the pieces, just follow the instructions just like normal. My skirt came out absolutely adorable and I'm about to start a second one!
Hi! No you only use it for the waistband. If you need to make adjustments to the rest of the skirt the formula for that is as follows: 1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5 2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2 3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2 Hopefully this helps!!
hi im a but confused, when i went to attach the conjoined tier 3 pieces with the tier 2 piece, the tier 2 piece was only half the size of the bottom piece. im not sure how you got yours to line up, i followed all the measurements exactly,,, im so confused 😭😭im not sure what i did wrong
I would like to know if this would fit me. I pull my bottoms over my stomach so I’d want it longer to reach down further, but not to look ugly. And I’m also a heavier person, and I wear 4XL. So I’d need help with measurements. Also, I’ve never sewn before so this would be my first project!
Hello! So as far as the skirt fitting you or not, that would depend entirely on you and how you make it. The tutorial requires you to use your own measurements in order to make the skirt, so based off that then it should fit you fine.
@@SewBlack Okay thank! I’m doing your pattern but I think I cut tier 1 too long So if my waist band is 20 Tier 1 should be 30 Tier 2 should be 60 And tier 3 should be 120?
Hi Everyone! Here’s the formula for the skirt if you need to make adjustments to the width of the tiers:
1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5
2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2
3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2
Hopefully this helps! Happy Sewing✂️❤️
Hi! I'm a little bit confused because this math doesn't seem to go with what you've got at 0:48 in the video. You've got your tier 2 at 27.5" which would make the total tier 2 circumference 110" compared to tier 1 at 60", is that correct? But that doesn't make tier 2 = tier 1 x 2.

You’re right. Just use the math you got / the math in the pinned comment and it’ll be fine, a difference of 10” won’t really make that big of a difference in a design like this.
@@SewBlack fair! Okay, now to see if I have anything in 60". :D Thanks!
Heyyy how many peices of each tier are there? Im a bit confused 😅
So it depends on how wide your fabric is (and also what your measurements are), but if your using a 60” wide fabric like the one I used in the video then you would need 2 for the 1st and 2nd tiers and 4 for the 3rd to give the full length for each tier.
This was my first ever sewing project. Took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears but it turned out adorable, I love it 😭 thank you for this
YAYY!!! Congrats on completing your first sewing project 🥳 I hope you love it!!!
I'm so happy for you!! YAY!!
Just bought a pattern to make a cute strawberry gingham blouse and was wanting to make a skirt to match and this is PERFECT
Ahh that sounds so cute!! Also low-key jealous that you found a gingham print WITH strawberries on it 🍓 Strawberries are one of my favorite motifs in lolita! So I already know your blouse is going to turn out super cute! And then pairing it with a tiered skirt is just going to be 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Oh, that top stiching really adds a level of professionalisim!

Currently working on the mockup and I think I’m dying, I hope I finish the actual project soon because just the mock-up is insanely difficult 😭
Hey, I’m confused. So is the fabric supposed to be 60” and 60” so like 120 in total or 30 and 30, 60 in total?
Aww 🥰 I love it. Thank You so much for sharing your tutorial!!😊
This is absolutely fantastic... thank you so much for this incredible tutorial

I thought this was a really good tutorial so I thought I’d try it out myself!! First thing is I cut the pieces to tier 3 and 1 to then realize I messed up and doing have enough fabric for tier 2. So now I get to drive to my grandmas house to pick some more fabric.Second thing is I forgot to add seam allowance on tier 1 and 3. I’m off to a great start!
This is something that maybe I will sew i the (fair faaair away future)👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻beautifully done!🌹
I wonder about using a draw string, like sweat pants, instead of the elastic?
Did you also make the crinoline?
Considering everyone has different size waists, wouldn't the tiers also vary on the lengths (around)?
oh my gosh! I have plans to sew nearly this exact skirt! black gingham, elastic waist, 3 tiers, I will need pockets though ;o
I am taking this as a sign that we are both incredibly stylish : D. Regardless, I love your videos, and this tutorial is amazing, thank you for making more lolita sewing videos!!!
Yessss!! This video is 100% your sign to make the skirt with pockets!! - Also I don't know why, but black gingham just works so well for the summertime! I know a lot of people prefer red gingham, but there's just something about the look of a tiered black gingham skirt that just screams summer to me 🖤

this is so cute thank you!
thank you so much for this video! I wanted to ask what petticoat you're wearing with this skirt?
Hi! I’m wearing my adjustable hoop petti that I made in a previous video.
@@SewBlack thank you!
Thank you very much this made me very happy😊😂❤love from Türkiye İzmir ❤
Adorable; great job!🥰
THIS SKIRT IS SO CUTEEEE
IDK IF I'LL EVER END UP MAKING IT BUT IT LOOKS SO CUTE :D
How did you do the gathering at the top of each tier? I usually end up doing a ton of pinning and sewing over it, it takes forever
Gathering stitches! I sewed a lose stitch along the top and pulled it down until it gathered up to match the length of the tier above it.
I love it !!! 😊❤ so cute 😍
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you!! ❤️
Turns out very cute. Did you have any under slip to make the skirt so puffy? Very lovely 🥰
Thanks! Yeah I wore a hoop-petti that I made from a previous video.
Thanks!
Hi I want to try this skirt! But 3 tiers is too long for me so i rather do just 2 of them. ( 4.5'' tier 1 cut 2 on fold and 6'' tier 2 cut 4 on fold) are those good measurements?
Very nice
Hello :) i really want to try this pattern. The skirt looks AMAZING but i’ve got a problem. In my country we use cm. When you said « 1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5
2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2
3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2 » x2 and x1,5 is in inch ?
If i don’t convert x2 inch to cm, my tier 3 would gave me 345,6 cm. It seems to be so huge (in inch 136) . I really don’t understand :(
Hi! Yes all the measurements in the video are in inches but regardless of whether you use inches or cm the math used to create the skirt is still the same. For the skirt I made, the full length of my 2nd tier was about 279 cm (110 inches) and my 3rd tier was 558cm (220 inches). It’s supposed to be a full skirt that can hold a lot of petticoat, however if you’re worried about it being too big you could always use x1.5 instead of x2 to bring down the fullness.
Hiii!! I’m curious about what seam allowance you used in this skirt?
Btw I absolutely love your tutorials, they’re so simple and sweet! ❤️
Hello! So for this project I used a 1/2” seam allowance 😊 Also thank you so much!!
Good question! This helped me on seam allowance. Thank you everyone.
I love this.. do you have a petticoat underneath. I see a black fabric underneath.
Nice, easy to follow tutorial! Did you also make the petticoat, and if so, do you have a tutorial on that too?
Are you wearing a petticoat underneath, or is the skirt naturally this poofy? Either way I love the look!
how is it that i can barely understand it 💀, hopefully once i have the fabric in my hands I'll have an epiphany or something.
you did a great job explaining, im just stupid.
man i wish i could make something cool like this and be able to wear it
but alas i am Boy
I'm a boy too and I'm making this for myself right now! I hope for you to be able to express yourself however you please :)
Hi i wanted to ask what size of needle do you use sewing them all together?, i use 8 sized universal one and it keeps breaking.
Hi! So I had to check on this because I honestly had no idea 😅 The one I’m currently using is a universal 90/14 (size 14), which I believe came with my machine. I do have other needles for working with thicker fabrics like denim and a few twin needles I use from time to time but other than that I don’t have much experience with other types of needles. Maybe you could try using a larger/heavy duty needle? It could be that the type of needle you have isn’t strong enough to handle the type of fabric you’re using 🤔 But again, I have very limited experience with this.
lovely❤
Such a lovely skirt! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I would also like to kindly ask if you put crinoline underneath? :)
No problem! And yes I’m wearing the hoop-Petti I made in a previous video 😊
@@SewBlack thank you so much!🥰
I'm sorry I'm really confused about all the measurements, why does tier 1 not say cut on the fold but on the placement info there's 2 on the fold??? it should only be one not on the fold so when you cut it it makes 2 because of the folded fabric, is this correct??
Tier 1 isn’t placed on the fold in the picture, only tiers 2 and 3 if you look at it. It looks like you’re confusing tier 1 and 2 which is likely why the measurement info isn’t making sense. Tier 1 isn’t cut on fold, which means when you cut it out on your fabric you’ll have 2 pieces for your tier 1 (A front piece and a back piece), so yes you’re correct on that part.
I just finished making this and it's awesumm =^.^= thank uuuu
also just FYI I bumped into someone this weekend where I was vending who also made this! so amazing! they did a better job than me hahaha . Gonna try again!!!
Question, if my hip measurement is over 15” more than my waist am I better off adding a couple extra inches to the waistband pattern or just leaving it as is and pulling it on over my head? I carry all my weight around the hip area and none in the chest so I could definitely get away with pulling it over my head but being able to step in and pull it up is so much easier that I figured I’d ask if that would cause a chain reaction if annoying pattern adjustments or anything
Guys think is gonna be my first project wish me luck
Good luck!! 🍀😊
I love the skirt!!! I’ll definitely be doing this soon but I have one question. What are the extra measurements you put under the video? I’m having a hard time understanding them.
Hi! So the measurements in the pinned comment are the same as the ones in the video so you can use either one to make your skirt 😊
I need a sewing machine and a lot patience to change my style 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Get a cheap one you can afford, use free patterns, thrift cloth or use curtains to practice and patience might follow.
Question!
If your wait measurement is larger then the first tier, how do I figure that out? How much longer do the repairs have to be?
Hello! So basically the measurements for the tiers are as follows:
1st tier = waistband measurements x 1.5
2nd tier = 1st tier measurements x 2
3rd tier = 2nd tier measurements x 2
So in your case if your waist measurements are larger than what I have listed, all you need to do is take that measurement and X’s it by 1.5 to give you your tier 1 length and then X’s each additional tier by 2 to get your remaining tiers. Hopefully that helps and makes sense 😅
Hiya. Upscaling the pattern is not that easy.
Don't increase the bottom Tier or it will be too big for your crinoline/hoop. I made this mistake :(
This means the 2nd Tier and 1st tier may need to change or not depending on your Waist size to look gathered the right amount.
I'm new to sewing so I can't really help more than that but my Tier 3 length was 5 folds instead of 4 using this basic multiplier method and it looks hilariously too big on the bottom😅
That said, thank you for this tutorial! It's very inspirational and helpful even with the upscaling trouble. Just posting this for any other future plus size sewists to save on mistakes
When I make custom measurements should I divide the number I get after using the formula by how many pieces I should cut?
Hi, when making this skirt could I make 5 layers? And if so what measurements would that be and would it still be poofy (dunno a better word)
this is a great tutorial !! im gunna try making something similar !!
are you wearing a petticoat under the skirt?
Glad you enjoyed it! Also yes I am wearing a petticoat in this😊
@@SewBlack cool!! i'm gunna try and make one to go with the skirt too
Sorry to bother but i had trouble understanding if the measures are supposed to be 36" for waistband (in my case), 60" for the first tier, 55" for the second tier and 110" for the third tier, or rather 110" for second tier and 220" for third tier?
English isn't my first language and as an european im not familiar with inches, hence the confusion
Thank you if you'll reply
Amazing tutorial, can't wait to get to sewing ^^
Hello! So it’s 110” for the second tier and 220” for the third tier 😊 Hopefully this helps!
@@SewBlack thank you! ( ╹▽╹ )
Is there a petticoat underneath or is it retaining it’s shape on its own 😳
Hi! Yes I am wearing a petticoat underneath, though I wish it could look like that all on its own lol
Did you put a petticoat underneath it to poof it out? Would a petticoat and hoopskirt combo fit underneath this skirt with your tier measurements or would I have to make adjustments?
I wear mine with a shorter (35cm) petticoat and it looks super nice!
Has anyone tried to modify this to make it work with a 44" wide fabric? I've found one that's super cute but sadly it's not wide enough
Okay I think I've figured it out. I'm short so I can just rotate the pattern 90° (so the width of the fabric is how long the skirt is), but if you're taller then you might need to do that and then also use two pieces of fabric for the pattern
I actually *just* made this skirt today and I could only find 44" fabric as well. What I did was fold my fabric in the opposite direction it was sold to me, (rotating it like you said). But, I had to use three yards of fabric! I bought one piece that was two yards, then a separate one yard piece. Two yards was definitely not enough if you're going by the exact measurements. (I also had to sew two of the tier 2 pieces together as well, because I didn't have room for them to be the fold like she said.)
After you cut out the pieces, just follow the instructions just like normal. My skirt came out absolutely adorable and I'm about to start a second one!
Do we use the formula for the waistband for all tier pieces?
Hi! No you only use it for the waistband. If you need to make adjustments to the rest of the skirt the formula for that is as follows:
1st tier= waistband measurements x 1.5
2nd tier= tier 1 measurements x 2
3rd tier= tier 2 measurements x 2
Hopefully this helps!!
3:09 I don't really understand what she's doing here, what am supposed to do ? Pull on the thread ?
hi im a but confused, when i went to attach the conjoined tier 3 pieces with the tier 2 piece, the tier 2 piece was only half the size of the bottom piece. im not sure how you got yours to line up, i followed all the measurements exactly,,, im so confused 😭😭im not sure what i did wrong
Maravilhoso, deixa as medidas na descrição por favor ☺️
I would like to know if this would fit me. I pull my bottoms over my stomach so I’d want it longer to reach down further, but not to look ugly. And I’m also a heavier person, and I wear 4XL. So I’d need help with measurements. Also, I’ve never sewn before so this would be my first project!
Hello! So as far as the skirt fitting you or not, that would depend entirely on you and how you make it. The tutorial requires you to use your own measurements in order to make the skirt, so based off that then it should fit you fine.
im so confused
Me too 🙃
REAL LOL
Are you wearing anything below the skirt to make it look that way?
Yeah I’m wearing a petticoat that I made!
@@SewBlack thank u :)
❤
What does it mean by cut 4 on fold?
sobbing rn because i made this and the 1st tier was way too small for me
Did you gather the stitch before seeing the tiers together
Yes! You have to in order for them to fit together properly so you can sew them together.
@@SewBlack Okay thank! I’m doing your pattern but I think I cut tier 1 too long
So if my waist band is 20
Tier 1 should be 30
Tier 2 should be 60
And tier 3 should be 120?
