DIY RUCHED SKIRT. How To Sew: Ruched Skirt With Elastic - Full sewing tutorial

Heyy guys!!! Welcome to another sewing tutorial, in this video, I will be showing you guys how I personally make my ruched outfits!! This particular maxi skirt has ruching details on the front and two sides.
Ruching is just another fancy word to say gathering fabric! If you follow my socials then you would see I love a ruched look, it elevates any piece upgrading your fit baby!
Key tips to learn here, make sure your elastic is cut to your desired length, and ensure that the fabric you cut is longer.. When sewing your elastic, ensure you are pulling evenly to ensure even gathers on each side!

    Excellent tutorial! Only a couple of things I didn't quiet follow: 1. Where did each of the three stands of elastic go? Two sides and waist band? 2. In total how many pieces comprised the skirt? Was it just two, front and back? I believe you skipped over doing the other side for time, but it still helps even if sped up. I still loved this though very detailed, every time you said "if that makes sense" I was like yes, it actually does! 😂

    I believe it was one strip down each side and one down the middle. So NOT one down the back) Then another piece for the waistband.

    Found your channel. I have a dress I want to do this to but only in the sides. (So not putting elastic down the the front) is more of a formal dress. This will help ‘hide’ my almost 60 yr old belly 😉 and help shorten the dress since it’s probably long enough for 6’ gal (and I’m 5’2” 🤪). How do I figure out what length of elastic to use on my hips? I don’t want the dress too short since it’s for a black tie wedding. Thank you!!

  • @CassieOlufemi

    Жыл бұрын

    Personally, I find it was easier for me to do the ruching first if it is to be on only one side or one specific area then sew the front and back together. If I want ruching on the sides also, I would add the elastic at the same time as sewing the front and back together.. if that makes sense.

    Just wondering, with the way you stretch the elastic, how do you make sure the ends of the elastic match the end of fabric? I’d be afraid I’d end up finishing sewing the last I and still have some fabric left without the ruching.

    You can definitely achieve this look with no stretch I’m not sure how it would look will vary depending on the fabric you do but you would just need to add a zipper 🤍

    Yes! So I would ruch the front / back first, then I would add the front and back pieces together and sew down the sides. The same technique to be used however will be used when ruching the front and sides. hope that helps!
