How to make a DIY Plaid Skirt with Two Slits in the front || Shania DIY

[@ShaniaShania]

💥Heyyy! Have you seen my latest tutorial on a button front mini skirt? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIPSqKGVhNWGiKM💥

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

I appreciate the way you prepared and sewed the dart areas; I had personally never seen that before. VERY helpful.

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Wakana! Thanks for letting me know because honestly, I thought about taking that part out. I thought maybe it was too long. Thanks for watching! What do you think I should make my next tutorial about?

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

@@ShaniaShania I like your take on how you approach tricks and hacks YOU found/developed while making your items.. when I watch I see a way it is done that used to confuse me. Does this inspire you in any way? I hope so as I would encourage your insights.

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

PS.. I am no longer frightened of "attending/sewing darts" , LOL!!! In fact I can hardly wait to encounter them.. I CAN Do this! Lol!!! Thanks LOADS

[@ShaniaShania]

Wakana Vki Rachel thank you, this is great to know and definitely gives me the idea to make a video on sewing hacks for common problems 🤔 thank you 💕

[@ShaniaShania]

Wakana Vki Rachel I’m really so happy to hear/read that. I know that darts can be super intimidating and can sometimes stop people from starting/finishing projects, but this will not be a factor for you, yayyyy!!! If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to DM on Instagram @shaniainside

I see you used your bodice block but in the tutorial to make one you didn’t go past the hip line. However, in the bodice block used in this video it’s extended. How much more did you extend your bodice block by

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey honeybee! Sorry about the confusion. The torso block ends at the hip, but in a previous video where I made a gingham dress (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4bRh6l_dpmBjaM) at 1:00 I show how I made my torso block to be the total length of the dress that I was making. Basically the distance from the hip to the hem is the distance that you want your skirt to be starting from you hip. I hope this makes sense, let me know if it doesn't. xoxo, Shania

[@Chloe-zs8ee]

hi Shania! If i want to make my zipper on the side of the skirt rather than the back, how would I do that? This quarantine is making me stir crazy, and making some cute new clothes sounds perfect!

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Chloe! That's a great question! To put the zipper on the side : when you have the 2 2 back pieces (07:13) you sew them together along what would be the middle seam, so that you'd have 1 big piece for the back of your skirt. Then you'd sew one side of the skirt's back panel to one side of the skirt's front panel. Once you've done that, you'd have one open side of the skirt where you would then install your zipper. Let me know if that makes sense. Feel free to DM on insta (@shaniainside) if you have more questions. Hope this helps! p.s. I totally agree that now is the time to get those cute clothes ready for post-quarantine! xoxo, Shania

[@allisonwilkens8928]

Hi, great tutorial! I have 1 question, at 4:42 when tracing and pinning does it matter how many times the fabric is folded? Thanks!

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Allison, that's a good question! I might've made that part a bit complicated because I was doing my best to save fabric. What matters most is that you fold your fabric in half once for the center front/middle panel of your skirt. For the 2 side panel pieces, you don't need to fold your fabric. I hope this answers your question, let me know if you're still confused. xoxo, Shania

[@thefreakyflamingo5215]

What kinda fabric do you suggest using for warmer weathers?

[@ShaniaShania]

tartan fabric for sure, the fabric I used is quite warm. You could also give tweed fabric a try too.

[@이민교-f4d]

how would you change it if you didn’t want to to add a zip? love the video !

[@ShaniaShania]

That's a great question! If you don't want to add a zip, you should use stretchy fabric. You can follow the same steps but just make the pattern pieces smaller to accommodate for the elasticity of the fabric. Hope this helps! xoxo, Shania

[@Lilix-nm1xh]

Hello do you know how to add the pants beneath the skirt ?Since I am not that careful or use to wearing skirt so I want to add some safe shorts attach to the skirt but with the same fabric like the skirt unfortunately I can’t find any tutorial of it.

Hmmm, I haven't actually tried it, but my guess would be to make shorts and then sew the waist band of the skirt and the waist band of the short together. Hope this helps!

THANK YOU!! I have a quick question, I am using a thinner fabric that requires me to have two pieces of fabric for the entire pattern so it is not see through. Do I sew (with right and wrong sides facing eachother) the back pieces first and do the same with the rest?? Sorry that was a confusing question and I am very confused as well lol

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Kelsi! Since you're creating a lining for your skirt to stop it from being see-through, what you would do is follow the tutorial straight through (minus the zipper part and the slit part) for one layer of fabric. Then, repeat the same exact steps for the 2nd layer of fabric. Then, you would could connect the 2 layers (right sides facing), then turn them inside out so that the seams are hidden, and then you'd install your zipper and add the slits. Hope this helps! xoxo, Shania

Hey Taylor! This is a great question. I have an answer for you but it's a little complex to explain via text. So, if you have instagram, can you DM me and then I can leave you a voice message with detailed instructions. instagram : @shaniainside ....xoxo, Shania

How much material should I buy to make this skirt? I'm a beginner and little troubled with calculations 😋

[@ShaniaShania]

Malwina157 hey there! The amount of material you’ll need depends on your size. If you think you may be the same size as me, you can buy a yard of fabric to make the skirt. I hope this helps!

Hey! i just got into sewing and i was wondering if you think 100% cotton fabric would be good for this!

[@ShaniaShania]

Yes you can! just make sure that the fabric is non-stretch. Happy Sewing! xoxo, Shania
