The order of fast, simple and stylish sewing of skirts without patterns

Sometimes it happens that you need to sew something quickly. There are many patterns and sketches on the Internet that you can work with, but not all needlewomen understand how to work with them. This article tells you how to sew a skirt without a pattern quickly, simply and stylishly.

Necessary tools and materials

Everything you need to sew a skirt without a pattern:

• material as desired (tulle, jersey, denim, etc.);
• sewing machine and overlock for processing seams;
• yarn to match the fabric;
• measuring tape;
• textile roller;
• fabric marker;
• elastic band;
• clasp;
• decorations to your taste (beads, rhinestones or frills).

When choosing fabric, you must look at the country of manufacture and the factory. Some little-known companies produce low-quality material, which can cause allergies or itching. It is better to overpay a little, but be sure of the quality of the fabric. Fabrics cannot be bought second-hand or at the market, only in specialized stores. The same applies to threads, if they are of poor quality, then even after delicate washing they can come out, become shiny or crack.

Sewing without a pattern

To understand how to sew a summer skirt with your own hands quickly and without a pattern, you must first look through several sites for needlewomen and understand the differences between working with patterns and without. Products can be made not only for yourself, but also for a child for various holidays.

Summer flowing floor length skirt

The basis of the skirt will be a rectangle. Floor-length skirts are usually made of thin fabrics, visually they add volume in the waist area. The beauty of this model is that even a novice seamstress can handle it.

To begin, two rectangular pieces of material of a length equal to the length of the product (approximately 90-120 cm) and the width of the fabric must be sewn along the side seams, the top edge must be gathered and an allowance of 5 cm must be made.

Add a belt (a strip of material ironed in the center, lengthwise, and twisted into a ring). An elastic band should be sewn into the belt for ease of wearing, and the hem of the skirt should be processed on an overlock. If desired, you can decorate with ruffles or make the product with a wrap.

Floor-length pieces usually look good on short girls with high heels. It creates a truly delicate and sophisticated style.

Tatyana skirt

This item can be easily made without a pattern if you have a large piece of material. To sew, you only need to take two measurements:

• hip circumference;
• skirt length.

It is very easy to make such a product with an elastic waistband, the length of which can be adjusted independently. Such a skirt is quite comfortable to wear.

You need to take a rectangular piece of fabric, the longer it is, the more voluminous the product. Also, the size of the folds depends on the length of the material.

After the piece of fabric of the required size has been cut, its edges need to be processed so that they do not fray. Now it is necessary to assemble the product.

You need to start sewing from the middle of the elastic band and move first to the right edge, tightening the elastic band and fitting the material onto it, and then to the left and repeat the same steps. In the end, you need to sew up the back side of the product and sew up the ends of the elastic band.

Sun skirt

It is better to make this skirt with an elastic band, it will make the work easier.

Step-by-step process of sewing a sun skirt without a pattern:

1. cut the fabric according to the measurements taken, adjust the length yourself;
2. fold the fabric in half;
3. sew and stitch the side seams;
4. add a zipper or buttons along the back seam;
5. make a belt for the product and sew in an elastic band;
6. The hem of the skirt can be finished with an overlock stitch.

It can be worn both for walks and for work. If you combine it with a white blouse or shirt, you will get a great office look, and if you put on a short top, you can already attend parties or dates.

You can sew a pencil skirt in the same way, but it will only suit slim figures, as it can visually highlight problem areas.

Chiffon skirt

First, you need to calculate the fabric. To do this, you need to choose the length of the skirt and decide whether there will be a lining.

The piece of the main material should be at least two pieces long (with an allowance of 20 cm for errors). Use the same parameters for the lining, but leave 10 cm for errors.

Calculation of the width of the product:

1. measure your waist;
2. measure the width of the folds (for example, 3 cm);
3. find the depth of the folds (3+3 = 6 cm);
4. divide the parameter OT by 3. This will give you the number of folds;
5. width of the product = (depth of folds) multiply (number of folds) + OT;
6. The width of the lining can be calculated using the formula: OT + 10 cm, where 10 cm are allowances.

What you need for sewing:

• 25 cm clasp (preferably hidden);
• rivet;
• fabric for thickening the belt;
• yarn to match the skirt.

Fabric cutting process:

1. Lay out the material;
2. Measure the length of the skirt along the grain line from the top edge;
3. Draw a horizontal line. This will create the lower cut;
4. Step back the width of the front part, which is equal to half the width of the product;
5. Draw side cuts, making a small extension from the waist to the bottom of the product;
6. Trim off excess fabric;
7. Also cut out the back side;
8. Allow 2 cm allowances on the sides.

To cut out the lining material, first measure the hip circumference. Lay out the lining itself. Make a fold in the material with a width of ½ the hip circumference plus 10 cm. This is the width of the lining fabric, taking into account seam allowances. Trim off excess material. Make side darts along the upper edges. Their depth is about 5 cm.

The process of sewing a skirt:

1. place the elements of the product face to face;
2. secure these parts with pins;
3. then sew by machine or by hand;
4. the seam width should not be more than 3 cm;
5. the stitches on the machine should be as small as possible, 6 pieces per 1 cm;
6. When working with chiffon fabric, you must use thin and sharp needles;

7. It is not advisable to use machine fastenings at the beginning and end of the stitching; it is advisable to leave the threads longer and fix them with your hands;
8. process the edges of the skirt with an overlock or a zigzag stitch;
9. sew a zipper into a product.

If desired, you can add ties to the product. Below you can read how to quickly sew a skirt without a pattern from tulle fabric.

Tulle skirt

The tulle should be divided into 3 m long pieces. The width of the strips depends on how long the skirt needs to be sewn. A 3×3 square can produce about 5 strips of fabric, there can be more layers for the skirt, it all depends on personal preference.

If in this case we take the height of 165 cm, then the skirt will be exactly knee-length. Gather the upper part of the tulle cut (there will be a belt in this place). This action is of course easier to do with a sewing machine, if you don’t have one, then you need to use a needle and thread in the tone of the fabric.

You can do the work on two or three layers of tulle at once. The length of the gathered side is equal to the hip circumference +3 cm. At the end, you need to sew all the layers of fabric and decorate the product as desired.

This skirt can be worn not only for holidays, but also for evening walks in the park. It is important to combine it with a similarly light and flowing top, for example, a blouse.

The main problem with this product is that tulle is quite difficult to care for. It is necessary to carry out only hand washing and use liquid powders. Otherwise, abrasive particles can get stuck in the structure of the fabric. You cannot iron tulle or do it through gauze so as not to burn it.

Long six-piece skirt

In this master class, the length of the skirt will be approximately 70 cm. The product is fastened with a hidden zipper, which can be sewn into the central seam of the back part (for this, the central wedge of the back part of the product is made with a seam) or into the right side seam (in this version, the central wedge of the back part is cut out in one piece).

The wedges of the product are connected to each other along all seams, except for the central one on the back side of the product.

Allowances must be processed on an overlock. Iron the seam allowances. Unzip the hidden zipper and pin it to the allowances of the central seam on the back side of the product.

On the sewing machine, change the foot to a professional one for sewing in a hidden fastener. It needs to be inserted in any direction from the side, not reaching 2 cm to the dog. The lines need to be made at an equal distance from the teeth exactly along the groove of the fastener and close it at the end. Secure the allowances near the fastener with needles or sew. Bend the bottom of the zipper.

Using a machine, connect the allowances below the fastener, bending the edge of the zipper. Start the line a little to the left and above the one to which the zipper was sewn. Glue the belt element with adhesive film.

Bend the fastener tape and allowances along it to the inside and secure with pins. Pin the belt to the product with the outside, connecting along the upper indents.

Connect the belt to the garment at the waist point. Transfer the belt fold line to the outside with short stitches.

This option is quite difficult to perform for girls who have no experience in tailoring. Therefore, it is better to take on a six-panel jacket after trying out easier-to-make items.

Fashionable boho skirt

This style first appeared in France in the 16th century, and was worn by poor emigrants and gypsies. The practicality and casualness of the image will look just right in the summer.

Making a boho skirt:

1. take a square piece of material;
2. make a circle in the center of this square;
3. sew rectangles from the same fabric and a belt to thread the elastic through. For a height of 160 cm, you need to take a 100×100 square;
4. cut out an oval to fit your waist;
5. now you need to make 4 rectangles, the long part should be 100 cm, and the short part - 30 cm;
6. sew the long sides of the square cut;
7. make indentations of 2 cm;
8. sew the finished quadrangles together.

Boho style goes well with tops or tight T-shirts. Very often, the emphasis is on jewelry, namely beaded chains on the neck or large earrings. It is perfect for plump girls, as baggy clothes will perfectly hide all the flaws of the figure. Open flip-flops are usually used as footwear. The main advantage of this style is convenience.

In conclusion, it should be noted that making a skirt without a pattern is suitable for beginner dressmakers. The product is made in literally half an hour, and looks like it was bought in a store. To work, you need to have a sewing machine so that the seams are denser and the threads do not come out and fluff up when washing.
