Such an amazing skirt can be sewn even by beginners. After all, the cut is not as complicated as it seems. You just need to prepare everything you need to create a product. And then take measurements for a skirt - a double sun. The sewing rules are described in the article.
Determining the size
It is necessary to take measurements with a centimeter tape along the waistline. It is she who will help to clarify her circumference. It is required to know the length - r and the length - R. Knowing these dimensions, we can draw a circle for the sun skirt. R is the length of the skirt (add 1.5 cm to the bottom hem), r - we will count as shown below.
Waist circumference was 79 cm, but we need to know the radius of this circle. Therefore, we use this formula: r=waist circumference, divide by 2 Pi. r=79/6, 28=12.5 cm. The resulting radius can be rounded up or down.
Create a pattern
When we have calculated the required dimensions, we can proceed to the next stage of work. To do this, prepare paper for a skirt pattern - a double sun. Then we fold it in half once, and then a second time (along the lines,as it shown on the picture). After that, we begin to build a pattern on a folded square piece of paper.
Building a pattern
First mark the landing radius r. Then we mark the length of the skirt R + 1.5 cm (an increase for the bottom of the skirt for hemming). Another 0.5 cm is added to the upper cut.
After calculating r=12.5 cm from the top corner of the square, measure this distance with a centimeter tape and put the first mark with a pencil, and the other mark at 54.5 cm from the top corner, since the skirt has a length of 40 + 1, 5 + 0.5 + r=54.5 cm.
When you have marked both radii, you need to draw two circles on paper. We take a centimeter tape and from the corner of the upper square along the marks we draw a smooth line with a pencil of length r and R.
Preparing the pattern
Cut out a pattern with tailor's scissors along the marked lines. After that, it must be laid out on a flat surface and make sure that it is the shape you need with a hole in the middle. Then the created pattern for the skirt - the double sun with your own hands needs to be divided into two parts (that is, cut this circle in half).
Which fabric to use?
Light fabrics are used for sewing products: from coarse calico to chiffon. Various exquisite and stylish fabrics are used, all types are in demand. Everyone chooses according to their taste and color. You can also use thick fabrics that hold their shape, they are great for the cold season.
How many meters of fabric will be needed for a two-layerskirts?
To sew the product, you will need:
- For an overskirt of this style, you can use fabric with a width of 1 meter 50 centimeters and a length of 1 meter 22 centimeters.
- The underskirt requires a length of 1 meter 30 centimeters and a width of 1 meter 50 centimeters.
- The length of the belt is 89 cm and the width is 7 cm.
- Slanting trim for processing the bottom of two skirts - 5 meters 32 centimeters.
- Vlizelin - 10 centimeters.
Open the top and bottom skirts
On the cutting table in expanded form we lay out the fabric, the width of which is 1 meter 50 centimeters. We put the pattern up along the grain line, retreating from the upper cut 1.5 cm (this is necessary so that seam allowances remain on the side cuts of the skirt), as shown in the figure. We cut out the first part of the main skirt, then we make the second half in the same way. We continue to cut out the skirt - a double sun.
Cut out the second skirt, which is under the main one. We lay out the lining material on a flat surface 1 m 50 cm wide. We put a paper pattern on it, departing from the top by 1.5 cm. We add 8 cm to the bottom of the lining skirt. Cut out the first part of the product, then cut out the second half using the same technology.
The belt is cut out last. Such a detail is cut for a skirt - a double sun along the lobar or transverse. It can be stitched or one-piece. Waist circumference 79 + 10=89 cm. The length of the belt will be 89 cm, width - 7 cm. In finished form, it turns out to be 3 cm wide.
Sewing
Side cuts are processed on two skirts. The left sides are completely ground off, and the right sides from the mark under the zipper and to the end of the cut. Then they loosen up. Two skirts in the upper part are interconnected, the main one goes up, and the lining under the bottom. Then the zipper is sewn in.
The bottoms of the two skirts are processed with oblique trim. Interlining is glued onto the belt with an iron and the part is stitched. If there is excess length, it can be cut if necessary. The belt is attached to the skirt - a double sun in the upper part. The loop is processed and the button is sewn. The handmade skirt is ready to wear.
Similar product
A two-layer skirt with an elastic band is built a little differently. In order for it to pass well through the hips, instead of measuring the waist, use a measure of the circumference of the hips. And additionally added to the seams. The principle of construction is the same as shown above. The fabric is laid out along the share. The belt is drawn along the length of the upper cut of the skirt. The elastic is inserted according to the size of the waist circumference. Her calculation: r=½ (OB+6): 6, 28R=skirt length.
Gypsy Skirt
Now this product is very popular. This type of gypsy skirt - a double sun differs from other types in that it is bright and saturated. It has a rich finish, consisting of frills, lace, satin trim. She has two skirts: one main and the other as a "petticoat". The product serves mainly for dancing. And its cut is different from other types of short double skirts -sun. And why? Just because it's long and flared.
Combining parts with each other
To create a dress, you need to additionally build a drawing of the base, and transfer it from the drawing to tracing paper. Only the shelf and back to the waist are taken. We cut out the details on the fabric using a pattern, not forgetting about the allowances for the seams. It is necessary to sew the bodice completely. Then it is connected along the waist line with a skirt - a double sun. Build a separate sleeve. And then they sweep and sew details into a dress with a skirt - a double sun.
Finalize the finish and produce wet-heat treatment. With the help of such connections of parts to each other, a product is obtained.
