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.

Your comment put a smile on my face all day even if it wasn’t directed to me Keep being kind!!

[@gisellfimbres9211]

Sharon Russell you should make one!

[@montsecb3286]

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

[@AliciaYanson]

it’s a necessity 😋

Nope, you need the cat, but any breed will do. Hope this helps :D

[@cyntia.russo9969]

I think u need one for sure

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@designermikaje3428]

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

[@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?

[@sloaneconway645]

Just made this and ABSOLUTELY LOVE 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💕

[@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!

[@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

[@paskulls]

The ribbon is such a nice touch! And the fabric print is just adorable🥺

[@AliciaYanson]

i love the fabric too!!🥰

[@annieyang9031]

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

[@AliciaYanson]

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

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

[@tsanmerritt-poreeabrahamso930]

LOVE IT. Adapted the pattern for longer skirt. Came out perfectly. Wish I could show you a picture.

Could you explain the waistband measurement for me?

Me too!

[@maithilip8212]

This is some next level craftsmanship

[@Gddssjo]

Love your tutorials! You do a great job explaining and wording intentionally, so thank you. I can look away and still follow along, which doesn't happen often

[@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 :)

[@21_Johanna]

I love this: easy, simple, straightforward, and looks gorgeous ! I'm about to subscribe :)

[@mariadelosangelesvasquezca9186]

I made this to new year, with little differences and was so beautiful and easy! Thank youuu!! ♡ Kisses from Venezuela!

Such a cute skirt!

[@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?

[@HCSAgirl99]

the skirt is so cute! this video inspired me to sew today!

i love this tutorial! i love how all your seams are nice and clean and everything is well refined :) i'll be making this soon !

[@daphneulaga2195]

Omg I am soooo happy I found you!! I learned a french seam, how to sew in a button hole and which settings to use and just in general how to sew this skirt. You explain things so clearly! I subscribed :) Also you look absolutely stunning!

that is an excellent video on how to do a ruffle skirt - it looks so nice and simple to do, so I am going to do one for my daughter and use your instructions.

[@user-xs2jo2yb8w]

this is so cute!!! my grandma gave me some beautiful yellow silk and i’m going to make a dress out of it and will be using this video to make the skirt into this wrap style🤩🤩🤩

[@freyab7612]

I made the skirt today and I'm so happy with it! This tutorial is really helpful and well put together and your cat is so cute!!

[@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. :(

[@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]

Madeleine Kate omg same!!! But I think I’m going try to order fabric online from Joannes

[@miahcait98]

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

[@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

[@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)

[@fernandastemplesca2737]

Wow I loved this tutorial! I love your crochet tutorials also, thanks ♥️

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! :)

[@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

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

[@ניצןשרון-ת8ח]

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😘😘

[@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?

[@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?

[@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

[@juandiemoscoso]

What was the width of the bottom of the skirt? Where the ruffle gets sewn to?

[@angelikas.5427]

hi...can I do this also from polyester? thanks...

Hi. What did you mean about the waist band circumference? I got confused there.

[@josefinaolcese326]

Thank you☺️ great tutorial💘

[@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.
