Cashmere is made from the delicate wool of goats. The fabric is thin, soft and warm. Midi skirts are comfortable and look great in cool weather. For cold weather, maxis with a simple cut are suitable. All it takes is a little effort, and novice craftswomen can sew a cashmere skirt with their own hands.
Simple sewing of a pencil skirt
The slimness of the figure will be favorably emphasized pencil. The cut is simple and accessible to everyone. The main thing is desire and accuracy.
You can mark the pattern directly on the fabric. For this we use:
- measuring tape - usually called just a meter;
- colored chalk or dried soap residue;
- ruler;
- scissors.
Start creating a skirt template with the main size, hip volume. When marking it with lines on the fabric, you should remember that they must coincide with the direction of the grain thread. Otherwise, the finished cashmere product will warp and pull to the side. If you do not plan to make a slot, then do not mark the allowance for it.
The standard size from the hip line to the waist is 18 cm. Then an adjustment is made, raising the front by 2 - 3 cm. Darts are made to a width equal to the difference between the hips and waist.
The easiest way to tuck the bottom evenly is when the side seams and darts are stitched, put the blank on, and ask an assistant (or put it on dummy) mark the same distance from the floor with several lines around the perimeter. Even experienced dressmakers use it.
The dart where the zipper is inserted is partially sewn in, leaving room for a lock. After processing the edges, each seam should be smoothed and steamed. To smooth cashmere, select the “wool” mode. A thin calico or cotton napkin is placed under the iron. The shiny mark from the contact of the material with hot metal spoils the fabric and it is difficult to remove the glossy stain.
Grosgrain ribbon Sew on at the top, slightly “settling” the fabric. The belt of the product should fit snugly on the figure. The fabric fits loosely without stretching. Otherwise, the soft material will be deformed and the effect of “bubbles on sweatpants” will appear. A cashmere lined skirt looks perfect. It is sewn separately. The size is a couple of centimeters smaller than cashmere fabric. Then they sew the skirts to the belt and trim the lock. The bottom is attached last.
When threading a zipper, make sure that when you fasten it, the edges of the dart meet evenly. There should be no gaps or overlaps between one panel and another.
The difference in sewing a mini or midi cashmere skirt differs only in the amount of fabric and the length of the side seams. In one evening you can replenish your wardrobe with a beautiful and practical item.
Cashmere winter skirts
A flared cashmere midi will go well with high boots and warm boots. It is sewn in various styles.For work, study and moving around the city, an outfit in the style of:
- casual;
- classic minimalism;
- fashion;
- military;
- street style.
This comfortable model looks harmonious with warm sneakers and stiletto boots.
The pattern of a pencil skirt is taken as a basis. Changes are made below the hip line. To create a flared model, a wedge pattern is drawn. The direction of the shared thread must be indicated on it. You should first mark the fabric and check that all elements are obtained in the required quantity with seam allowances. Leave a transverse stripe on the belt, if one is available. The grosgrain ribbon is placed in any case.
The pattern for a continuous skirt made of wedges is made with the expectation that the darts will be placed along the seams connecting the wedges. Main dimensions:
- Waist;
- hip width;
- classic 18 cm between the first lines;
- length;
- bottom width;
- number of wedges.
The values of the transverse dimensions are divided by the number of wedges. One pattern is made and repeated on the fabric the required number of times. The material should be folded in half, bending it in the center of the wedge. This way you will ensure symmetry and correct placement of the shared thread.
Leaving seam allowances, add 0.5 cm for loose fitting. Cashmere is soft, elastic and can become deformed when stretched too tightly.
Warm and elegant cashmere maxi skirt
A flared, floor-length skirt emphasizes femininity, makes you slim, and creates the image of a romantic, well-groomed lady. A product made from soft cashmere looks especially elegant.
In practice, owners of long cashmere skirts have found that they keep you warmer in winter than jeans or even woolen dress pants. Therefore, a hand-sewn item will allow you to feel comfortable and look smart even in the cold.
When planning to add a floor-length skirt to your wardrobe, keep a few things in mind. For active women it should not touch the ground, and should be 3–5 cm higher. Otherwise, the bottom will be constantly dirty and will quickly rub. The lining should be natural, made of linen, satin, you can use silk. Synthetics are cold and wear out quickly.
Wool and cashmere are washed and rinsed only in warm water at approximately the same temperature. When hot and cold are combined, the fabric will shrink and the skirt will become short. If there is no special powder for wool and delicate items, use a shampoo for soft fabrics that did not suit you and you did not have time to throw away. You don't need to twist the cashmere skirt. Wrap it in a towel, then dry it by hanging it from your belt. Then the shape of the cashmere skirt will be preserved for a long time.
