The skirt is the main detail in a figure skater’s costume. Choosing the right skirt to match a suit is difficult. The shape, length and fabric of this part of the costume must correspond to the music, character and tempo of the dance. For its sewing, lightweight lightweight fabrics are most often used.. For example, chiffon or stretch mesh, which is perceived from a distance as chiffon and does not require processing.
But this option is suitable for performances. For regular skating, clothing should be warmer and more practical. It is better to sew the product from denser fabric.
By sewing method the simplest option would be a skirt cut in the shape of a semicircle with a wrap.
IMPORTANT! The use of double-sided fabric simplifies the work.
We'll tell you how to sew a figure skating skirt with your own hands.
What you need for sewing
Materials and tools
To create a product you will need a simple set of tools and materials.
- 0.75 m double-sided fabric. One side of it is made of quilted windproof raincoat fabric, and the other is made of fur. This choice simplifies the task and reduces sewing time.There is no need to hem the lining or process the edges of the product.
- 40 cm of fabric adhesive tape.
- Scissors.
- Threads to match the fabric.
- Soft meter for taking measurements and creating a pattern.
- Chalk.
Required measurements
You only need one measurement - waist circumference. Add 20 cm to it to create a smell.
Pattern
Even a beginner can make a pattern.
- First, the fabric should be folded in half and pinned together. In one of the corners, where the fabric is folded, draw a semicircle of the waist, equal to half its circumference.
- Further from the waist down, you should densely mark the length of the skirt (0.45 cm ± 5–10 cm). Wherein it is necessary to take into account the person’s height and desired length. After this, connect all the length marks into one line, which will be the hem line.
- We cut out the pattern exactly along the drawn lines of the waist and bottom of the skirt.
- The belt is cut from the same fabric. This is a strip 10 cm wide and a length equal to the waist circumference plus 20 cm for the smell.
Description of work
Sewing such a product is as simple as its pattern. It consists of the following steps.
- You need to sew a belt to the skirt.
- Cut the adhesive tape in half. Then, in the lower and upper parts along the edges of the belt on the front and back sides, opposite pieces of adhesive tape should be sewn, having previously separated them from each other.
- Next, you can try on a new thing. The price of such a skirt is low, and you can wear it with equal success to the skating rink, for a walk or to the store for shopping.
While wearing it, you will definitely appreciate the warm, practical and easy-to-care piece of clothing. The financial costs and time for its creation are paid off by the comfort and stylish appearance of the product.
