DIY RUCHED SKIRT. How To Sew: Ruched Skirt With Elastic - Full sewing tutorial

[@TinyTajee82709]

See this is why I love KZbin & will always prefer long form content. I’ve been searching tiktok for an hour for a tutorial like this & couldn’t find one!

[@emiliaromanowska6748]

This skirt is a real firecracker, I'll sew one too

[@ms.chelleg2068]

Excellent tutorial! Only a couple of things I didn't quiet follow: 1. Where did each of the three stands of elastic go? Two sides and waist band? 2. In total how many pieces comprised the skirt? Was it just two, front and back? I believe you skipped over doing the other side for time, but it still helps even if sped up. I still loved this though very detailed, every time you said "if that makes sense" I was like yes, it actually does! 😂

[@OhhCharliee..]

I believe it was one strip down each side and one down the middle. So NOT one down the back) Then another piece for the waistband.

[@veronicajackson1674]

Wow I love how you do the elastic I’ve never seen that done your way before but it looks much easier than what I’ve seen other people doing and this is exactly the same kind of skirt I was going to buy from Wish so now I can make it myself you made an awesome video thank you so much you just saved me money from buying some thing that I can make myself... ❤

[@elegantbodybutters]

Yes just what I was looking for

[@CassandraMSmith]

Hello, I loved your video, I have a question. The skirt you made was 80" = 203.2cm, the elastic would be 40" = 101.6cm. Is this correct?

[@kjackson1458]

also, what fabric do you use, is it a standard swimwear 80/20 poly/elastic fabric?

[@kjackson1458]

What width and length zig zag stitch do you use?

Beautiful. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you

[@CassieOlufemi]

Thank you so much for watching !! So happy you enjoyed thank you for the support !!! 🥰🥰

[@octopussyocto]

Just wondering, with the way you stretch the elastic, how do you make sure the ends of the elastic match the end of fabric? I’d be afraid I’d end up finishing sewing the last I and still have some fabric left without the ruching.

[@sStellaAlexandraA]

I am totally new to sewing so forgive me if this sounds crazy… but I am assuming you’d start top to bottom and then when you finish off the bottom you would even everything out and you could give yourself like 5 inches or even 10 inches of grace at the bottom where the hemline would be. Idk if that makes sense.

[@adimabuajanet-jm6pd]

hi I’m new here what the name of the fabric did you use please

[@CassieOlufemi]

HI there!! I believe I used a stretch nylon spandex blend :)

[@barbaramitchell6939]

New subbie here!!! Great job, easy to follow, will be making my own skirt this week! I love it!

[@CassieOlufemi]

Ahhh thank you so much!!! Glad the video made sense !! 🤭🤭❤️❤️

[@OhhCharliee..]

Found your channel. I have a dress I want to do this to but only in the sides. (So not putting elastic down the the front) is more of a formal dress. This will help ‘hide’ my almost 60 yr old belly 😉 and help shorten the dress since it’s probably long enough for 6’ gal (and I’m 5’2” 🤪). How do I figure out what length of elastic to use on my hips? I don’t want the dress too short since it’s for a black tie wedding. Thank you!!

[@angel_fechi]

This was really detailed, thank you! Did you sew the sides of the skirt before the ruching ?

[@CassieOlufemi]

Thank you!! I sewed the sides at the same time ruching with the elastic. Sometimes however I find myself sewing first then going over with the elastic you can do either way 😅🥰

[@tiyakeira972]

But wouldn’t the curve shape you cut the fabric in be squeezed in half? So would you have to incorporate this into your pattern?

[@oliviasmith5156]

I've been looking for this video all over! You're amazing! Did you just do one layer or did you add a lining?

[@CassieOlufemi]

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!! I only did the one layer :)

[@teyapirtle1653]

Thanks beautiful this is exactly what I was looking for. 💜🔥🔥

[@Daisy-xb7hk]

I actually have the opposite situation going on. I bought a skirt that has ruching on both sides near the hips and absolutely hate the design. How can I get rid of it?

[@ChizobaRita-o8m]

Please Cassie i love your tutorial. Could you please slow down your speech to help me assimilate. Thank you

[@yolandacarino8216]

would this work with cotton fabric?

[@CassieOlufemi]

it should yes! Only difference if there is no stretch you may need to add a zipper etc :)

[@ChizobaRita-o8m]

What length of elastic should I use for my ruching (for the front of the skirt

[@sarahhurd6901]

Love this tutorial! I’m making a dress with a little ruching on the side around the waist area but I’m also adding a slit! Should I do the ruching first?

[@CassieOlufemi]

Personally, I find it was easier for me to do the ruching first if it is to be on only one side or one specific area then sew the front and back together. If I want ruching on the sides also, I would add the elastic at the same time as sewing the front and back together.. if that makes sense.

[@sarahhurd6901]

Yes! Thank you!!

[@raniaodat8740]

I love this skirt 😍 looks amazing .. please Cassie keep posting such videos .. I am a startup fashion designer and that was very helpful 😍

[@CassieOlufemi]

Thank you so much !!! I really hope to be able to post more again soon !!! I have so many ideas 🥰🥰🥰

[@eniolaadeyemi4070]

Thanks so much Must the fabric be strenchy

[@CassieOlufemi]

You can definitely achieve this look with no stretch I’m not sure how it would look will vary depending on the fabric you do but you would just need to add a zipper 🤍

[@totonow6955]

Wow

[@anushkadhar3755]

How long is the final ruched skirt in inches ?

[@mariaraviloria]

Thanks ❤ hugs from Venezuela 🎉

[@deboladiana]

This a beautiful and well explained tutorial.. Thank you Cassie

[@CassieOlufemi]

Thank you for watching!! :)

[@naimishanagoji7709]

Will this work on a non stretch fabric?

[@apple._.floooff9964]

Would this be good for beginners?

[@xanbarkwell408]

I think the only part I’m unsure of is adding the ruching to the front and the back. Could you possibly explain that part?

[@CassieOlufemi]

Yes! So I would ruch the front / back first, then I would add the front and back pieces together and sew down the sides. The same technique to be used however will be used when ruching the front and sides. hope that helps!

[@gloryedom3912]

Can this be done with a straight sewing

[@MigdaliaQuinones-p7u]

Cute 🥰 but can you walk in it?😊

[@kadrizeliha7495]

Is it compulsory I use a stretching material 😊

[@CassieOlufemi]

I don’t think so ! If using non stretch main difference would be just adding a zipper from what I can think of ❤️

[@kadrizeliha7495]

Thanks girl !!!!!

[@ya3nyeh]

How much fabric should i add on the original length that i want

[@CassieOlufemi]

I usually double the length of fabric and make the elastic your required length. if that makes sense

[@ya3nyeh]

@@CassieOlufemi every time i stretch the elastic it's never done well any idea to improve the placement of the elastic sometimes it's not enough for the fabric or the opposite maybe may way is wrong but I can't control the elastic

[@mathuri12]
