[@alexandriacook3626]

im a figure skater and buying wrap skirts can be anywhere from $20- $100 for a good quality one! So instead of spending the money to get a bunch of different colors, Im just going to keep my idle hands busy and make my own. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@bellablow4287]

I can't believe the price for thd original is over $500 !!! I'm adding a ruffle trim to mind thank you for the math it's so easy

@@sad_soju hmm.. maybe you needed to remeasure the width of the waist of the skirt and match it on the waist band before sewing the tail part of it. Also, you can DM me a picture of the part with the problem and that way i can see and help you solve this problem ☺️☺️

[@hayleecain9350]

I just made the pattern according to my measurements and followed what was explained in the video but it didn’t fit around the waist. I only just realised after re-watching the video that she has the fabric folded over when she cuts the pattern out so that it becomes a full circle skirt with a split but it isn’t explained in the video. So make sure your fabric is folded over when you cut out your pattern!

[@dianaatobe7995]

She did say that you need to cut it on fold. Just rewatch the video

So do I basically have to add extra length in order for the waist to overlap?

Ignore my comment. We have the same measurement and it just clicked

[@sowseng]

How do you tie it on your waist?

[@juliemm3961]

I definitely did something wrong because when I put my paper against myself, my waist didn't fit. I'm so happy I tested it before I cut the fabric

[@babycourtney8345]

hi!! i'm not sure if i missed it in the video but how many yards of fabric did this take? i plan to order some satin and make this for my birthday and i want to make sure i get enough!

[@karla_roble]

Hi! This took less than 3yds i believe. Just make sure the fabric is no less than 58” wide since you’ll be cutting on fold that way you can also play with length incase you decide to make it longer.. lmk how it goes! 😍 and omg Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂🎈

[@melodybales2038]

Omg I have to make this. I used to wear a ballerina skirt all the time, but I got bigger and it did not lol

so was the waist band a total of 60in in length or 120in?

[@katharinaspeelman1623]

How did you decide the circumference??

Hi Maria! Sorry for the super late response! But here’s a more visual explanation... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5CYY2tof52Noas Check out 12:43-54... its very similar.. it ties across the front and around? I hope this helps! 😆

[@chloehoopes7248]

where did you get your fabric??

[@karla_roble]

I got it in downtown LA.. however, there a quite a few you can buy on Etsy or Amazon. Search for satin.. either silk or poly, depending on your budget and make sure it’s at least 58” wide ☺️

[@lizd7162]

Hello, what fabric did you use?

[@karla_roble]

For this i used satin. ☺️

[@Babermomvie]

How did u just rip the satin like that? I’m making the straps right now and have nooo idea how in theworld you just ripped it…I don’t wanna mess it up lol

[@karla_roble]

When in doubt, try it on a scrap of fabric first. Note: Cut about 1” along the weft and you just start ripping it apart. 😉😉 you’ll end up with a straighter weft edge than cutting it with scissors. Hehe you got this, boo!!

Hi JayJay! Is it the construction or the tying part?

[@Jess725r]

@@karla_roble construction

[@karla_roble]

Got it! So i have this other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5CYY2tof52Noas See 7:35 It is VERY similar.. Only difference for the skirt is that you’ll be attaching the waisband to the entire skirt piece instead of only the back (like shown in the pants on the video i linked). Hopefully this helps? Hehe im a visual learner too so i had to send you something you can see. ☺️

[@Jess725r]

@@karla_roble thank you

[@mostas]

If you wanted a 4" overlap at the front, why did you double it to 8"? The waist measurement + 4" would have been enough no?

[@chenelleboodoo3462]

She wanted it to overlap 4inches past the centre front on the inside as well...provides more coverage so you don't have to worry if the wrap opens a bit.

[@mostas]

@@chenelleboodoo3462 That doesn't make sense though. That would still make it an 8" overlap since you're just adding 2 x 4" to the existing circumference.

[@karla_roble]

@@mostas it has to be doubled because i wanted 4” to overlap on the left and also 4” to overlap on the Right panel of the front skirt. So if you were to look at the skirt ON me you should be able to measure 4” of fabric from CF to the opening of the Left and another 4 from CF to the Right panel of the skirt. Hopefully this helps. Only adding 4 would mean you would only have 2” of coverage on each side of the skirt. 🙂
