How to sew a cancan skirt.
Instructions:
- Take hip measurements. Let's say it is equal to the model size of 90 cm. Unfold the fabric and cut out a rectangle 20 wide (allow for another 3 cm for the binding) and 90 cm (plus 5 so that it does not fit tightly, and 3 cm for the binding) in length. Together with the allowances, you will get a rectangle of 23*98 cm, which will be a yoke. Sew the edges on each side.
- Next, take your waist measurements. And again we resort to the model parameters, it will be 60 cm. You will need to purchase the same amount of wide elastic tape to sew the belt. Sew a yoke to the ribbon on the wide side. The tape should come out from the front side to hide all the folds.
- Make a pattern on rectangular material for the first tier, measuring 130 cm (98 cm is a ready-made yoke + 32 cm to add fluffiness) in length and 40 cm in length. Hem it on the short side and just tuck it in on the long side. Fold it in half and sew your middle to the yoke.As a result, you should have two flounces that fall parallel to the yoke.
- Now we begin again to cut out a rectangle measuring 170 cm (130 is our first tier + 40 cm to add fluffiness) in width and 50 cm in length. Do the same as with the first tier. You have reached the second tier of your skirt. The length of the skirt is now 20 + 15 + 23 = 61 cm. The longer you want the skirt, the more tiers you should make. At the end, you should sew all the tiers from the elastic to the floor.
REFERENCE. The most difficult part will be sewing all the tiers of the skirt together. Make sure that the transverse seams match.
