How to Make a Ruffle Wrap Skirt 100% from Scratch!

[@AliciaYanson]

thank you for all the lovely comments♡ i would love to see your recreations so tag me @aliyanson on instagram with your final designs! alot of you seem to be confused about the ribbons, i put a q&a clarifying any questions in my description box!😌

[@speddireddy232]

Alicia Yanson what sewing machine do u use

[@emilywpollard]

I’m so confused about the whole button hole like I’m unclear about that whole thing and where my ribbon goes through and how I’m tying it

[@lizbethmendez4339]

Alicia Yanson what type of fabric did you use? Also could you tell me the store or link?

[@addieh5791]

If I didn’t want to add a ruffle at the bottom, and the skirt to be more flared, and flowy without the ruffle, should I use the flared column on the radius chart, or will that not work?

[@sharonrussell7933]

My dear this is the cutest handmade skirt. I would make it in a minute if I were a bit younger (71 years young). But for someone younger and even a child, this is just the sweetest pattern. Kudos to you.

[@montsecb3286]

Do I need a cat to do the skirt? Or that’s just optional? HAHAHA

[@AliciaYanson]

it’s a necessity 😋

[@cyntia.russo9969]

I think u need one for sure

[@tigolbitti3s]

It's actually a black fabric but the wrong side happened to have a more appealing color lol

[@inhle1688]

Alora Madron that’s so cool!!!! both sides of the skirt just being extremely pretty

[@Alwayssjess]

This is EXACTLY the kind of video I need. I understand EVERYTHING you said. You explain everything perfectly. Sewing along the bias can be tricky I could never figure it out but I’m still getting it. Thank you!

[@ams2173]

I had a go at this today and had to make a few adjustments to the instructions which I thought I’d share: •at around 1 minute when she says to cut in 5 inches I decided to cut only 3.5inch and I’d actually recommend cutting around 2! (Mines based on the waist 23/24 measurement) because mine ended up too open at the front! •when cutting the curved pieces I’d recommend to cut them more straight down and just slightly curved at the bottom because I cut my curves quite subtle and they still expose too much at the front hahah But I loved this tutorial definitely give it a try with some slight tweaks to suit your body shape! Xx

[@addieh5791]

Thanks for the tip! If you don’t mind me asking, what is your waist/ hip measurement, so I know if I will have to cut less fabric? Sorry if it is kind of a personal question lol 😂 Edit: Nvrm you said it in the comment haha

[@designermikaje3428]

The bottom hole for the ribbon to pass through was so smart!

[@sloaneconway645]

Just made this and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[@amandaaitken4252]

I just finished making this (my sewn first garment ever!). I ended up adding an extra ruffle layer around the whole bottom to increase the skirt length, which actually turned out very nicely! I also added two belt loops to the inside of the back, to help the ribbon go around inside the skirt and come out right by the tie instead. Overall, loved this project- thank you for the video!

[@ateapot]

Hii thanks for the tutorial, the skirt is sooooo pretty! For those like me who were confused about the ribbon part, you stitch the long ribbon on the bottom part of the skirt and it should go all around your waist until the top part overlap and that's where you do your button hole. I was so confused at first but when you understand it's quite clear!

[@laura-bethmorrison9684]

I’m still so confused! Help 😭 xx

[@ateapot]

Laura-Beth Morrison heyy what are you confused about?

[@smilefied8157]

Haha my cat was sitting on my fabric while I was cutting, too! Except he helped me pull the fabric tight for a clean cut. The first time a cat sitting on a project was actually helpful lmao

[@MabruBlack]

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to switch from a button closure to a tied closure, you tutorial is really good in explaining it!

[@emmaj4087]

I made this with a satin material it’s beautiful Thankyou for this tutorial :) I had to make the back panel slightly longer to cover everything lol but it looks so cute on! now I just need a matching top

[@letiziasantini6281]

I've just finished sewing it and I'm really happy because thanks to your tutorial, even if it was the first time I sewed, it came out very well! Thank you💕

[@annieyang9031]

I made this with plaid fabric and it looked fantastic!!! Thank u💕

wonderful!! tag me on instagram with your creation so that i can see it♡♡

[@madeleinekate3315]

UGH I want to make this SO BADLY, but I can't go to joanns, because of the virus-that-shall-not-be-named, and I just discovered the remnant section too! Is it weird that I am homesick for Joann fabrics??

[@abbylin3188]

[@miahcait98]

Awww really my Joanns never closed. And I just got some fabric the other day.

Could you explain the waistband measurement for me?

[@MamaHummzz]

Me too!

[@maithilip8212]

This is some next level craftsmanship

[@lia-sk2fv]

This is such a useful tutorial and the skirt turned out so pretty!!!! gonna try this soon for sure. By the way, what is the name of the fabric you used?

[@catcrandell4189]

To all the people with bigger booties 12" is too short, and 5" off the front bits for the ruffle is too much. I recommend 15"-16" and cutting the curve directly on the edge of the two front pieces.

[@marijeprins9815]

Without a cat, but I managed to do it! Had some struggles on the way but happy with the result! Greetings from the Netherlands 😀

[@eleanorschille-hudson4338]

Thank you for this video! I made this skirt as my first ever from-scratch garment! Next time I would cut the front pattern piece maybe only 2 or so inches in. My skirt isn't securely "wrappable" enough, so I'll probably use it as a swim cover up. I would also top stitch down the ruffles so there is less *poof* at the bottom of the skirt. Going to make my sister one (with the modifications) next :)

[@cyntstrada979]

Cat goes from cat litter to clothes! Good one

[@kyliee.c]

Who else watching while they dont sow? Its just so relaxing

[@BeerInHandVball]

This is exactly the style of skirt I have been looking for in the stores. It isn't there. So, here I am on KZbin and found this perfect video with instructions on how to make it. I want my skirt to reach my knees. So, mine will be longer. I'm really scared to try this. I usually mess things up. I have to borrow a sewing machine first. :(

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

This is adorable! The skirt, the video, the cat, everything. Thanks for brightening my day.

Hi. I think this is really cute. What would advise if I wanted to make the same skirt but longer (till around the ankle)? I am Muslim and my style would be modest, covering the skin.

[@jennynieuwhof3687]

I don't understand the end 🙈 Which way goes the fabric band? the one you fasten it with at the end

[@leadore7396]

This skirt is so adorable ! I would like to sew it but I have one question : you said your waist measurement is 29" and so you draw a line at 18" with seem allowance but in the shart it's write 18,5" for 29".. is it normal to take only 18" even with seem allowance ? Thank you 😊

[@AliciaYanson]

for the waist radius u have to subtract 0.5” for the seam allowance! its a bit confusing haha

[@leadore7396]

@@AliciaYanson thank you very much for your answer !!!

[@flowwerfairy]

why did you sew the side seams twice around 4:40? amazing guide, by the way! this is one of the clearest sewing videos I've seen on KZbin. thank you!

[@danac.5350]

That is how you do a French seam, it encloses the seam allowance, making a neater looking seam on the inside of the garment. It is also very nice for the sides of tote bags. Google search for "French seam" to see pictures

[@user-xs2jo2yb8w]

Hi! Loved this video! I didn’t get how to construct the pattern though.. if my waist size is 26” so i need to make the first circle with 16.6” right? And then how do i know what is the length? Why did you decide to make it 12”? And also, how do i cut the fabric? Where should the grain line be? Thanks😘😘

[@loriell1996]

You're so cute and the skirt turned out lovely 🌹

[@ItsEmilyNicole]

This is literally adorable!

[@infinite_eye2727]

So cute, though if you initially fold the pattern in half you don’t have to make your pattern so big and can fold the material in half as well. If you fold in half initially there’s less cutting, sewing and work. You’d have one continuous piece of fabric and all you’d need to do is cut and round the two skirt edges- far easier and simpler than cutting three separate pieces and sewing three separate pieces. Very cute though

[@Ladytiffanyr]

I love this skirt! I am trying to sew it but I have one question :my waist measurement is 39" so do i draw a line at 19.5(with seem allowance) then add the extra 12' for the wrap?

[@MotownDan]

[@tildacressman9463]

I’m so confused what do you do with the other ribbon?

[@AliciaYanson]

do the same thing but on the other side!

[@emilywpollard]

Alicia Yanson but still doesn’t add to where the button hole is and when tying it would bring in the under end and it’s just confusing

[@MazzyMadness]

The button hole when she’s wearing it is at the side where the bow is. You bring the underneath ribbon all the way round the back of your body and through the hole, and then tie a bow to the top layer’s ribbon

[@MazzyMadness]

So your underneath ribbon (the one that’s attached to the side with the hole) needs to be much longer

[@awagner4646]

This was my first sewing project and I'm really happy with the result! It looks great and you explained really well (even though I had some little problems) Sadly the skirt is a little short for me even though I added 2 inches in length. I'm planning to do more ruffles or to make matching bikershorts for underneath! :)

[@kmiklaszewski]

Could you do this style skirt tutorial in a long length? To the ankles and 3/4 length as well. Thank you

[@MamaHummzz]

I made mine longer by adding inches to the bottom. It's not full length but I need mine to at least my knees. So when you measure the second measurements instead of adding 12" measure your length from your waist to where you want your skirt to fall and just add those inches instead of the 12. You will have to adjust how much ruffle you make too. just measure around the entire hem edge of the skirt and add at least 50%. I like to almost double mine since I like tighter ruffles.

[@fairytofia357]

what sewing machine do you use???? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I MIGHT START SEWING

[@kazumigonzalez8445]

Im sorry i just get confused in the ribbon, like she cut 4 pieces (5:17) but then she only sew one (5:25) but then we have 2 pieces, one large and the other small(5:49) but then she only sew one, the larger think so (6:24) so the question is WHERE DO I SEW THE OTHER ONE?. Please can someone explain me 😔 ah and where do I make the opening for the ribbon? (7:00)

[@carolisaurous]

If anyone makes it, add 2 inches to the sides(if you curve it at 5 inches for the front) and 2 inches to the bottoms. My skirt is wayyyy too short and doesn't cross over and I even added an inch all around for seam allowance! Even with the ruffles its not long enough, its an inch or too longer than my underwear! Idk how this is long enough on her! I'm 5'1" and falling out.

[@carolisaurous]

Great tutorial though! I should have noticed I cut the pattern too small.
