DIY // Button Up Skirt

[@ranasorensen4546]

Explanation for darts is great cheers

[@jazzgeorge7379]

Can you please help me understand how 49 inches ( widest point + 8 inches) became 38 inches when measuring out your darts ? and there is also a 45 ? Really good video with clear layout but all your numbers are mixed up.

[@sanajankharia6316]

The 38 inches is her waist + 8 inches (30+8). We need to add 8 to the waist to match the hem and overlap of the hips. The reason she used 38 (i.e. the measurement for the waist including hem and overlap) is because after the darts are measured and stitched, we get the waist measurement. So her waist (30+8) + the dart measurements (10) will give us the length of the fabric i.e. 48/49 which is her hip measurement (40 + 8)

[@bridgiesue7]

But that can't be it because she said her waist is 35 inches

[@YvonLife]

We have the same sewing machine and I recently used the button hole setting. Just take a piece of fabric and experiment with it. It creates quite pretty holes!

[@mirandalevy1451]

Hi Yvon! What sewing machine do you use?

[@YvonLife]

@@mirandalevy1451 I use the Janome JR1012 ✨

[@alexisrushlow9036]

How did you get 38 inches o though you cut it to 49 inches

[@lilhappi3954]

I also had the same doubt?!

[@siphokazimfamana3819]

Please help I'm confused too I thought she said 49 inches for cutting and now 38inches...

[@joannamacatulad7295]

same thought 🥺

[@selinseyrek]

same :(

[@noneofyourbusiness6766]

Sameeee😭

[@monoma5924]

I love it! the skirt is so beautiful and I also bought the perfect fabric for this by accident :D

[@TheEssentialsClub]

haha love that!! Thanks so much :)

[@Mel-gt9gj]

I fell in love with your videos. I love how calm your voice sound and how thorough your explanation🥰. I am learning a lot from you.

[@emmapascoe2528]

You always do such a great job with your cute lil diagrams! So relaxing to watch and always makes sense :)

[@xensantiagomarta]

I loved it. My next project❤

[@kittenmyu]

Months, upon months later, i finally trifted the perfect fabric for this skirt. I might even make two, a midi and a mini one! Okay, had to write this so i wouldn't let the fabric just sit around like an idiot 😀

[@LeratoMokoena_]

You’re so amazing ❤️. I enjoy listening to your voice too.

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Too sweet! Thank you :)

[@chloenilacerol1967]

Excited for this tutorial! What kind of machine do you have

[@tylynsworld]

Beautiful skirt! Do you make these projects in a single day? I feel discouraged when my projects take so long because it seems like everyone else sews so fast.

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Please don't be discouraged by the time it takes 💖 Sewing is one of those things that takes time to get the hang of and each project I recon you'll find becomes smoother/quicker. When I first started it'd take me days to get through one garment as it was so daunting and probably involved lots of unpicking haha. Now I can whip up something in a couple of hours. Don't get caught up in comparing yourself to others, we're all on our own unique pathways and you got this!!

[@tylynsworld]

The Essentials Club thanks for the encouragement 💕

[@evacuate6349]

Where do you normally get your fabric? Also how much fabric do you normally pick up for the projects you make?

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

I really like this skirt - and I have some fabric that may suit it.

[@okamem]

Thanks for sharing! Cute skirt*

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thanks you :)

[@siphokazimfamana3819]

I know this is old anyway please help your cutting was 49inch but when calculating dabts it was now 45inchs... Please please help 😊

[@siphokazimfamana3819]

And also help with 38inchs

[@beaquezada]

im in love with your videos

[@susieeasom9094]

Hi, I really hope u don't mind me messaging you, I have bought a skirt very similar to this but the size 14 was too & so got a 16 which is to big, it too has buttons down the skirt like this one (it's lovely by the way) is it just a case that I move the buttons all over? I just feel there would be too much material thats not needed? Any advice would be very much welcome, thank you 😊

[@PaulaMartinez-bj5yq]

[@sydneygrover6205]

Can’t wait to make this! 🧡✨

[@woowoowitchymom]

I’m a bit confused, you said your hip measurement was 41” and your waist was 35”…but then when making the dart points your said your hips were 45” and there was a 10” difference between waist and hips…im worried I’m not measuring correctly

[@ChrisinaJadeContrino]

Love your channel! Thank you 💕

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thank youuu!!

[@สุกัญญามณีโชติ-ห7ส]

what fabric to use ?? 😍

[@gurcharansingh740]

What's the measurements of darts ,it wasn't clear to me still?

[@תמרהרמן-ז5ב]

thank you so much! I love you!

[@sequoiac6223]

How do you sit in this? Does it tug?

[@sabrinabaker5339]

I'm making a skirt and I NEED help. So my skirt is different lengths all around but I know I can fix that when I do my hem. So how do I do my hem and make sure my skirt is the same length all around? Might be a stupid question but I'm seriously stuck.

[@aalaali3569]

Just measure the fold you want equally (I like my hem to be about 1-2 cm ) all around the skirt and it should be fine use a measuring tape or a ruler to help ps there are lots of tutorials on KZbin on how to hem

[@caitmarg]

How much fabric do you need?

[@rhemaO]

Thanksssss alott

[@kathrinehansen3660]

What fabric did you use?

[@TheEssentialsClub]

This one I actually got from the furniture section of the store haha! Don't know the exact material but it feels similar to a denim texture/thickness :)

[@dinaraibotova9412]

I wish you created patterns and sold them 2 cuz the way I understand how to measure its just not correct on so many levels 😂
