how you can sew a mini bubble skirt 🪡🤍 | tutorial

UPDATED: OUTER LAYER FORUMLA!
the outer layer formula is incorrect in the video. the outcome should be doubled or use the formula down below to calculate it correctly. thank you for your understanding 💖
new sewing video 🤍 more info below
WHAT YOU NEED
• fabric 100% cotton (approx. 4 meters) but feel free to use any other fabric to your liking
• fabric scissors
• fabric crayon
• measuring tape
• elastic waistband
• thread
• steamer or iron
• sewing machine (i used singer heavy duty)
RECOMMENDED VIDEO
• this video helped me understand how to make different types of skirts. i recommend you to watch it if you want to learn more:
• How to pattern ANY kin...
RADIUS FORMULA (copy paste)
add your waist below at 'YOUR WAIST' and put it in an online calculator like this: bit.ly/3x2mYA0 (google)
• inner layer = (YOUR WAIST*2/(π))*2)
example = (71*2/π))*2) = 90,4 (approx)
• outer layer UPDATED = YOUR WAIST DOUBLED / 2 π
example = 142/2π = 22,6 (approx)

hi! thanks for watching my tutorial :) quick update: please check the description box for the updated outer layer formula! in this video it is wrong and the outcome should be doubled. you can either use the new formula in the description or times 2 your outcome from the formula in the video. excuse! 💖

You've definitely mastered quality over quantity lool but it's a pleasure everytime you post!

By far the best most detailed video for the bubble skirt! thanks so much!

[@mireillevanwyk5271]

I hate gathering so much 😭 it is currently shaving 10 years off of my life but I really really really want to make this bubble skirt so I'll keep going This tutorial is very detailed and helpful tho

[@clothesnbits]

you can do it ✨

[@sewmuchbymin]

Amazing! So cute and lovely skirt❤ thanks for sharing this video:)

[@supernatural.beauty421]

It looks so good!! I love your videos🥰

[@milzデッド]

i might be wrong, but the outer layer waist measurement doesn't really leave any room for stretching if you want to add an elastic. did you double the 11,3? The arc length for the quarter circle for this radius would be 17.74, so the full circle arc is circa 70 which equals your waist. I'm really lost here 😭😭

[@clothesnbits]

omg, ur so right! thank you for commenting 🙏 i must have confused myself during the editing part. so, for your outer layer the outcome should be different indeed. it must be doubled in this case. so, your waist times 2 to double it for the elastic waist and then this formula, waist / 2 π = radius example waist 71 cm 1. double waist = 71 x 2 = 142 cm 2. radius = 142 / 2 π = 22.6 cm (approx.)

[@milzデッド]

alright! i'm glad i could help

[@Infpmode]

​@@clothesnbits 😭Im new to this, I cut and started sewing too without doubling. What do i do please help

[@Mr.icecream03]

It came out great! Thank you!

[@Ferisewing-v5k]

Thank you. It's great ❤

You’re. Da. Bessssst

[@abbiesmith8724]

Do you think this would adapt well to making it longer? I like your pattern but I need at least a knee length skirt because of my school dress code

[@toastedbagelwithcreamchees1687]

Hi, so I have two queries. Firstly, should I sew the whole upper layer, all the sides or leave one ? Second, can't I just use a 5 no stitch and sew the whole edge to make ruffles, how were you able to sew differently? Thank you.

[@clothesnbits]

hey, if you mean the outer layer in step 4, yes! all sides need to be connected, so no open sides left. it should look like a big skirt when you connect all sides. for your second question, as long as you can make the stitch loose by widen the length wheel and are able to pull afterwards, it should be ok! the settings can vary per sewing machine and how old they are. and for the whole edges question, you can sew a whole round around the skirt, but if a stitch accidentally breaks during sewing or pulling, it can get messy and you might need to start over. so, sewing the gathered stitches per quarter of the skirt is what i can recommend

[@havanigrogan2961]

wow this was such a good tutorial….. im still scared though 😂

[@Mr.icecream03]

Amazing! How much fabric fir the outer layer? Is ut 2 meters each layer?

[@sksksks7533]

[@Mr.icecream03]

Right???

[@Mr.icecream03]

It's so giving princess jellyfish

[@DanyaCastanedaMartini]

In total how many meters of fabric are needed with your measurements?

[@KristaCook]

New to this but when you say gather as much as you can for the bottom - it no longer fits over my legs!!! How much actually should bottom be gathered?

[@clothesnbits]

ahh, maybe you can gather with an elastic thread so it's flexible when fitting and walking, actually ideal! or you can try to gather but make it looser when attaching them to the lining, so you still get a puff plus a wider fit at the bottom. hope this helps!

[@Mr.icecream03]

Hi so made a mock up of this and the waist for the outer skirt was wayy bigger than the inner skirt. It’s supposed to be the same right?

[@clothesnbits]

yes they are both different, i couldn't find a perfect measurement to make them equally, but in the end both will be sewed with elastic so it will eventually come together to your actual waist, maybe not as neat and equal around. perhaps you can gather the top equally as the lining and from there finish off with the elastic, so it fits perfectly around already. hope this makes sense!

[@Mr.icecream03]

@@clothesnbits yeah that’s what I did thank you

[@ujala-khurram]

Can I ask you a qs tho I am new to sewing in which side did you attach the elastic on the inside or the circumference Thanks❤

[@clothesnbits]

hi! i sewed the elastic on the inside at the very top of the skirt. the elastic part can be a bit tricky to sew, especially the way i showed it, but it should work :) lmk if there are any other q's! 💕

[@ujala-khurram]

@@clothesnbits thank you so much ❤️

[@itshelentehrani]

How can I get the skirt even puffier?

[@leonarriantoussaint5887]

For my inner circle . My radius is 107, so should my degree angle be 22 or 26?

[@leonarriantoussaint5887]

I’m confused my waist is 84 cm and skirt length is 38cm

[@clothesnbits]

sorry, your radius is indeed 107 cm if your waist is 84 cm. the angle should still be 22.5 degrees when folding it for the inner layer :)

[@elina5790]

Is there a way to make the inner layer in different parts because I don't have a big enough fabric...

[@clothesnbits]

yes, if you divide the inner layer in 4 parts instead of 1, you can take one quarter to trace the others. this way you can use your fabric more efficiently and place it on different parts if that makes sense!

[@maravettori1185]

@@clothesnbits i am also having this issue, is there any way you can explain how to go about making the inner layer into 4 parts rather than one? i'm stumped :(

[@madddyroth]

@@maravettori1185 im having this issue too but since it's essentially just an a-line skirt, I'm going to try pattern for that and see what happens

[@HéliaMachadoFriel]

Girl my radius is 13.2 but it looks so much smaller then your 11.3?! I don't know what's happening

[@clothesnbits]

girllll, so sorry for the confusion. it should be doubled, so 26.4. i made a mistake in the formula for the outer layer, your waist should be times 2 in the formula or just double your outcome :) lmk if u still have q's 💗

[@itsbellatv3399]

How thick is your elastic

[@clothesnbits]

around 3cm
