Lesson 14: Aline skirt

Lesson 14: Aline skirt


Always fold fabric keeping selvage at sides for any dress. Then only drape will be good. Only in case of opposite printed fabric like saree. Cut widthwise. 
Calculations: 

0-1 height of skirt minus waist band width           or 1.5" plus seam allowance 2" 
       ( eg: 40-1.5+2=40.5) 
0-3 [waist +ease of 4or 6"]/4 +SA 1" 
       (Eg: (36+4)/4 +1"= 11")
1-4 (0-3)*2or 2.5 times
       (Eg 10*2+1"SA = 21"
4-4' 3" to 4" up and curve the line 1-4' 

Waistband: 
For 1.5" width band 
Width 1.5*2+1" 4"
Length (0-3 measurement) 42" 


Stitching method:
1️⃣ join 1 side of 3-4' 
2️⃣ Sew waist band rightside facing rightside. 
3️⃣ On wrong side fold .5" and sew waistband fully
4️⃣ Insert rope to tie or elastic 
5️⃣ finish bottom line with cross piece turning wrong side using facing cloth or turn rightside using contrast material like border ( 0.5" to 2"max).
6️⃣ Sew other side of 3-4'  


Happy sewing
