How to Sew a Basic Skirt | Historical - Vintage - Modern

[@elinabrahamsson9442]

COMMON QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE VIDEO: (I thought I could answer the two most common questions here instead of typing the same answer several times) How do you pleat the skirt? The pleating in this skirt consists only out of simple folds, as I show you in the video. Start with measurig your waist, and then divide that measurment in two. Now both of your two rectangles should be the result of that calculation. Start with finding the center of the rectangle, and fold your way out from the center to the edge, and then the same at the other side - from the center out to the edge, but now you put the folds in the opposite direction, so that the folds on both sides of the center, are running towards the edge. There are some ways where you use math to know exactly how deep the folds should be, in order to fit your waist measurment, but after a couple of times of trying, you will get the hang of it. Now, when your happy with that first rectangle, flip it and do the same on the other side. A thing to consider though, is that the direction of the pleats do a lot for the movement and shape of the skirt. So try around with different types of directions ( in my video I let the pleats on the front continue over to the rectangle on the back, so that they meet in the centre back, but that's just a question about taste) As mentioned in the video, theres many more pleats to use as well, this was just one method. How do you sew it together? I want to learn more about handsewing! As a beginner, you can come very far with just three types of handstitching : Running stitches, backstitches, and whipstitches. These are also the only stitches used in my skirts, and also 95% of the stitches I use for handsewing. So when should I use what stitch? Well a simple rule (or suggestion) is to use backstitches on seams that are more likely to be under pressure (tight garments for example or in garments that are often going to be washed like shifts, shirts etc). Running stitches on the other hand, work well for seams that most often aren't under pressure (loose garments, seams in skirts etc) These two types of stitches can though gladly be mixed, if you want to be on the safe side, or want something that works almost all the sime, and that is what I often choose. For felling and hemming, whipstitches workes a long way. Hope this helped a little bit! I will probably update this, so if you have more questions, feel free to ask down below!

[@samanthascarcella526]

Elin Abrahamsson should the rectangles be half the size of your waist measurement before or after we pleat them? For example my waist is 66cm, so should the front and back each be 33cm wide after pleating or before? Also second question! Did you use smalls buttons in the side opening below the waist band or did you leave the opening for getting in and out of the skirt alone aside from the waist band? I like the idea of using buttons over a zipper. Also how did you figure out how much fabric to start out with?

[@lyndabird9401]

Samantha Scarcella you would want them to measure 33 after pleating. Consider that if you make a 1.5cm pleat, you need to add 3cm to your waist measurement per pleat (because it’s a fold it takes 1.5cm on each side of the fold). If you want 4 pleats, that is an additional 12cm to your waist measurement. 4 pleats in front and 4 pleats in back would add 24cm to your total waist measurement or 12cm on the front panel and 12cm to the back panel. Pleats are used to shape the waist while leaving volume in the skirt. Learning to make pleats make me have great respect for kilt makers😉

[@bfbvouabeorbvoaervure963]

Elin Abrahamsson Do you have to hand wash it.

[@florenna]

My question is: why do you need to cut the fabric into half at the beginning, as you're only going to sew the parts back together anyway - can one just use a folded fabric *not* cut it in half, so thus not having to sew one of the side seams, only the other one? :)

[@BerylThanh]

@@florenna Cutting the fabric in half was just an extra step she needed because she wanted the stripes on her skirt to be vertical. So if your fabric is plain, or patterned but you don't mind the direction of it, go ahead and skip that part!

Seriously watching you hand sew was soothing. This skirt came out really cute.

[@thebarefoottealady]

I love that you showed hand-sewing a practical, everyday piece of clothing, not because you were trying to be historically-accurate, but because you simply didn't have a machine. I personally hand-sew because I don't have a machine (and don't have room for one in my house right now!), so this has inspired me to start my own summer skirt project.

[@p43210]

Yes! To me It happens the same. I have just discovered this channel, but I also get inspiration from one called "DinLife". I think that sewing by hand it's beautiful.

[@elinabrahamsson9442]

Handsweing is so underrated! So much cozier than by machine, and you can be anywhere, and listen and watch things you love while doing it!💕

[@p43210]

@@elinabrahamsson9442 I do totally agree

[@FennecTheRabbit]

I hand sew because the machine scares me (yes I'm the only person who threads it without issue somehow?) and hand sewing I can sew in bed, outside, on the bus, wherever.

[@Greye13]

@@elinabrahamsson9442 I absolutely love your skirt, it turned out beautifully. I also prefer to hand sew, especially when it's something historical. Not only do I find it relaxing, I also find that sewing historical clothing on a modern sewing machine just feels awkward to me somehow. Not sure why that is though. I love how all of your animals seem to follow you everywhere. It's really adorable to see. They're obviously very fond of you. Great video! :)

This is the first video I watched, and I noticed good comments about filming. How do you do that? Such a variety of pretty outdoor and indoor settings / backgrounds. And you switch to close ups and different views. The music is a nice addition. I don't like music on most everyone else's videos. And finally, the reason I stopped to watch, beautiful skirt.

Absolutely!! People tend to think that I just don’t like skirts, but I love skirts! I just love flowy, full skirts when the fashion of today doesn’t support that. Skirts are short and/or form-fitting. (Also I’m on the bigger side, so it’s hard to find clothes that fit anyway.)

Dear Elin, this couldn't have come at a better time, I have been thinking of recycling old bedsheets into skirts and dresses 😊 love from Slovenia

Same. I was getting ready to make a skirt from some thrifted bed sheets i've been hoarding

[@elinabrahamsson9442]

Oh I love to hear that, good luck with your sewing!

[@Ellaodi]

@lotsofthingslover i have made skirts, dresses, jumpers, and vorsets from thrifted high quality bedsheets and shower curtains, and i still had tons of fabric for matching masks :p But this simplicity of the skirt and thoughtful design is so fantastic @elin!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Bedsheets are fantastic! I thrift the good quality ones whenever I can. I’m making some pyjama pants out of an old flannel sheet, some chemises, drawers, and also an apron out of a few white cotton sheets I have, I’ve made a lovely circle skirt out of an embossed doona cover, and a matching peasant blouse with the underside of the same doona cover. It saves so much money on fabric!

[@ariel-sc4en]

I love using bedsheets, curtains, shower curtains too, already got built in hems lol

[@sarahmwalsh]

It's so cute!! The stripes going opposite directions on the waistband and pockets is what really gives it that vintage flair. Gorgeous filming too - the light where you live is absolutely dreamy!

[@carolann811]

Buttonholes: I remember an aunt of mine who crocheted around buttonholes. She cut the fabric for the hole, made regularly spaced buttonhole stitches (not as close as for a traditional buttonhole stitch) and then switched to a very tiny crochet hook and did a set of single or slip stitches around the buttonhole. They were pretty, functional and if I'm not mistaken, she used a different color of thread for contrast.

I was also sewing a skirt and wanted to close it with hooks and eyes, but had none... so I figured I could try to make my own! I found some wire and with the help of some plyers it actually wasn't that hard. Of course they're not perfect, but that's fine with me :) They also already survived several wearings and some washing, so I would definitely recommend everyone curious to try it too :)

[@elenalenaiva]

[@TheImaginaryCat]

Oh yes that's a really good idea! I have done it some times now, and they do not look anything like the bought ones, but have so much more character!

[@Greye13]

That's fantastic. Handcrafted is so much nicer. Now I will have to try making my own hooks and eyes, lol. Oh, and you can even make your own buttons too. If you're interested, there are quite a few videos that show you how to crochet or knit your own buttons. The practice actually dates back to somewhere around the end of the 18th century, so it would be historically accurate to use them on period clothing. They were most popular from 1860 to 1940. My grandmother had some she had made.

[@elinabrahamsson9442]

thank you! I fiddled around with the pockts for a while, and just as you say, they do effect the pleats. Therefore, I needed to have the skirt on while pinning the pockets in place so that I could see the exact position of them. The lentgh is around 5-7cm under my knee!
