For anyone struggling with the pattern: The inner circle should be your waist measurement plus the amount you want the skirt to overlap by divided by 2*pi, or about 6.3 Inner: (Waist+overlap)/6.3 The outer circle should be your inner circle measurement plus the length of the skirt with seam allowance. Outer: inner+length

What number or measurement should I be taking into account for overlap? Are you saying if I want it to overlap twice, thrice, etc I need to measure for that as well?

Can you do videos or pattern making for beginners because I want to learn and you're amazing but sometimes I get confused

I want to make this but I need a sewing machine 😭

0:00 - showing the skirt 0:07 - introduction and showing the fabrics 1:32 - making the base of the skirt 2:24 - finishing off the base 2:43 - cutting the waistband 3:02 - hemming the sides of the skirt 3:44 - sewing the waistband 6:00 - attaching the waistband to the skirt 6:53 - hemming the bottom of the skirt 7:15 - the finished skirt!

I MADE THIS SKIRT!! I can't believe I did it cause this was only my 3rd time at the sewing machine but it turned out so good! Thank you so much for the clear and easy instructions. It has kick-started my DIY journey for sure. Mine turned out a little bit too short for my liking so I would recommend making it a little bigger if you don't want it too short. But overall, this was AMAZING! Thank you so much xx

I made this - and I love it!!! It took an afternoon, evening, and then morning but it was WORTH IT! A couple of notes and adjustments for anyone else wanting to make this: - I'm 5"7 with a 26in waist and nearly 40in hips, which is pretty close to Ally's measurements (her measurements are in the description box) I used all of Ally's measurements for the skirt EXCEPT I added two inches to the back half of the skirt to account for the fact that my ass is on the larger side, to the point where I do this with all my skirts because otherwise the front and back look uneven. This trick worked perfectly when applied to this skirt, and did not alter how the skirt looks - Ally is 5"9 and I'm 5"7 so the skirt looks slightly longer on me, and hits roughly four inches above my knees. It looks nice, not 'conservative', but you may want to take skirt length and your height into consideration if you want more of a shorter or longer skirt - When she tells you to cut two pieces for the waistband, this is so that the overall length of the waistband will be 140inches. I had to watch the video a couple times to realise that so thought I'd mention for anyone else who's a little slow like me lol Thought these notes might help others as they helped me 🤗

How did you add inches to the back? If you cut it the way she does it would all be equal. Did you just cut the whole thing longer and then cut the front shorter before hemming? I have the same exact problem... skirts are fine in the front but always too short in the back. Why do manufacturers seem to assume butts are flat??

@jessiegraceillustrates

Жыл бұрын

@@Aitherea Yup that's exactly what I did! Cutting it all my preferred 'butt covering' length then trimming 2 inches from the front, and gently curving the trim so that it meets the normal length at the sides. I recommend doing it on a piece of paper first if it's hard to get your head around (it was for me, so I used wrapping paper first, then used that as a pattern). I know! Stores can be so frustrating so I gave up and started making my own skirts ages ago 😂

So cute! I bet that if you doubled the pattern making two skirts and seaming both at the waistline you would have made a skirt that would have been less see through and still maintained that light, flouncy look, especially since your fabric had such a nice drape. Plus double the twirling pleasure! Thank you for sharing.

I love that there's so many dancers watching this tutorial to make it for class! (myself included lol) Its so great that this skirt can be an elegant dancewear item, but with a different fabric is also a fashionable everyday piece of clothing

I’ve had silk fabric to make this skirt hidden in my stash for about a year now, thank you for reminding me what a simple project this will be

It's great to see you still liking something even after the trend died down! Really great way to decide whether something is worth buying/making!

This looks amazing! I am definitely going to give it a try!

I am going to be making this skirt but slightly modified for my dancing! Im so excited :) It looks super pretty. I think a white shiny ribbon would have looked stunning for the waistband too :)

It’s really cute!

I love the shape & flow of this skirt

I NEED to make this!!! So pretty

Thank you for the tutorial! I think I'll make this to wear in my ballet classes too. 😊

This looks beautiful and super easy! I just may have to give it a try!

I love the tutorial, the skirt turned out really lovely

I love your vids can’t wait to make this skirt

I saw the skirt on Pinterest and I really wanted to make it. Perfect timing lol thanks!

so cute ! it's also a good idea to hang skirts like this for a few days before hemming them, since the fabric will stretch more across the bias and might become uneven otherwise

If you turn in both edges, (similar to when you hemmed the side edges, only folding in once & then pinning them together) you can avoid ever having to turn anything inside out again (I hate doing it, so I always avoid it lol) it also gives you one nice crisp edge. If you want both sides the same, you just mirror it on the other side even though it was never open there. In no way is this a critique of this girl. I adore her. Just wanted to pass this on for people who don't like turning things inside out lol

Love it a lot😍 hope to see the next vdo

Lovely!

Thank you for the tutorial, you explained the steps very well! I made the skirt in one sitting and it turned out really pretty 😍 BTW I just discovered your channel and like your videos really much :)

Thanks for this? How to keep the hems from stretching?

Do you think doing this with a double circle skirt would make it swishier and even more fun to twirl in or is there a diminishing returns here?

Where are your white shoes from? I love them! PS: love the skirt as well

Do you think adding a lining to make it more opaque would ruin the drape? Or not

i know this might not be a popular request but can you make a tutorial on one of those shorts that look like skirts? or skirts with pants under them (where you can’t see the shorts obviously) i would love to wear more skirts but i don’t want to have to worry about what i’m showing when i sit down on the grass in the park or bend down to grab smth off the floor. just an idea, i think most people just adjust to what they’re wearing and don’t have an issue with that 😅

@helenm1085

Using a different fabric should be ok. If it's not as flowy then your skirt might sit more stiffly and flare out more. Synthetic fabrics can be a little slippery to sew with (although she used rayon which is also quite slippery - it's a fibre made from wood pulp) so you want to make sure it's pinned and ironed well, and go slowly

is it alright to use a chiffon fabric???
