Crawl item

In this article we will focus on the classic version of a straight skirt made by sewing oblique.

Important! The advantage of such a cut is the ability to stretch( which gives freedom to movements) and to slim the hips of the girl, thereby emphasizing all the dignity of her figure.

Decoration of material

In order to sew a skirt in a cage obliquely to the floor, you need to first build a pattern. Only before you start to cut, you need to decaffeate the fabric. To conduct such a procedure, it is necessary to wet the material from which the garment will be made, and after drying, to steam it off with an iron.

For heavily mounted natural knitwear, the decoupling should be done differently:

1. Natural fabrics - cotton, linen or viscose, must be lowered into warm water for a couple of minutes.
2. After some time it is necessary to take out the material and gently squeeze it.
3. We spread knitwear on a flat surface and let it dry itself.

Important! Before buying a fabric, you need to know what it's made of. So it will be much easier to learn how to take care of it.

Calculating the amount of jersey used

In order to proceed with the cutting of the material and then simply sew the skirt into the cage, it is necessary to take into account the amount of fabric that we will need:

1. To begin with, take an ordinary notebook sheet in a cage, taking each cell as one square decimeter on the panel.
2. Then you need to draw a mini pattern of the skirt, following the specified scale.
3. After the sketch of the pattern is built, you need to calculate the approximate area of ​​the figure, what you got, and then multiply the result by 10.

Important! This method is especially good for our variant of sewing a skirt in a cage, because we cut the product along a scythe.

Crawl the product on the fabric

So, you liked the pattern you found on the Internet. In the future, in order to sew the skirt on the scythe, we will need to cut the raw material itself:

1. We take a cloth with a width of 150 cm on the hips of the hips. We can have fabrics larger - everything depends on the desired length of clothes.
2. It will need to be decomposed first into one layer, with the wrong side upward.
3. We draw the lines at an angle of 45 degrees from the corner of the fabric.
4. Lay out the finished pattern in such a way that the middle of the drawing coincides with the diagonal on the material.

Important! Do not forget that around the edges of the fabric near this drawing you need to leave about 3-4 cm on the seams, otherwise - the skirt will be small for you in a couple of sizes.

Converting pieces of fabric into stylish clothes

So, the most difficult part of the work is done, only the most painstaking work remains, which requires great attention and accuracy of the beginning seamstress.

Important! Before passing at the seams machine, you must first manually sweep them so that they do not go further. So the product will be much more accurate.

In order to qualitatively sew a skirt in a cage with your own hands with minimal distortion of the picture, you need to make sure that it does not move anywhere during the grinding of two parts of future clothes.

Special attention should be paid to the upper and lower edge of the product:

• Any method of treating the waist part of the skirt is possible. It can be a zipper closure, a button or just an elastic band - everything is for our needlewoman to solve. However, in most cases, experienced seamstresses recommend inserting a zipper into the side seam.
• The hem of the skirt from below is recommended to make at least 4 cm, otherwise - over time the fabric will stretch and the smaller seam will look very inopportune.

Important! Professionals recommend to sew this kind of skirts on a viscose lining. It protects the product from possible deformation.

The checkered skirt, whatever it was, has not lost its popularity for several decades. That's why it can rightly be called a classic thing. In this article, we helped girls who have long dreamed of such a piece of clothing to realize their dream by sewing such a product on their own.
