How to Make a Tiered Ruffle Maxi Skirt || Shania DIY

[@blurryvisi0nn]

I just found your channel trying to figure out how to sew stretchy fabric. I love this outfit you made!! Repurposing old bed sheets is awesome!

[@ShaniaShania]

lorena hey Lorena! Yayyy! I’m so happy that you found me, and yes girrll, nothing goes to waste...bed sheets deserve a chance at reincarnation 🌸✨😊

[@karin0963]

Adorable. I love the details you give in the instructions. I've watched many videos on this type of skirt, but you give great details! Thank you. I will be trying this one.

I'm a novice and your tutorials are perfect for me. Thank you, so much!

[@ShaniaShania]

Yayyyy! So happy to hear that 💞

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Sugarbees! At 07:09 the correct Measurement B length calculation should be : My Length = 39 - 11/2 = 14 inches (not 42.5). This means that my tier B length is 14in and 30in wide. Sorry for the confusion 🙊 Hit me up on insta if you have any questions (@shaniainside)

[@kenzmartin6405]

Will this still turn out right if I make the tiers long enough where there is only one seam connecting the sides? I want the seam to be in the back in order to have more continuity in my fabric’s design. This tutorial is so great! Thank you💕

Hi Shania!, I wanted to see how u are doing. I love that twirled skirt it’s giving me princess vibes 🤩 I also love how you can turn it into a dress and skirt😍. Also out of a bedsheet🤩.Kinda like Cinderella references.I would wear the skirt with a white tee tied in a knot, low apricot heels,sunglasses,a matching purse with the shoes,A big satin baby pink bow in the back of my hair,and wear it in a willow area with a pond and bridge. Sending you love! 💖💖💖

Wow Akila! I love your styling idea, it sounds so cute and I don't think i wouldve ever thought of apricot heels; brilliant ✨ Receiving and sending you back love 💕💕💕

[@Rakshak728]

Mam really great work thanks

[@ahnniem]

I apologize in advance if this is a dopey question. I am a pretty new sew-er...sewist... so here's the question: (I read through the other questions and didn't see this there and I'm not recalling hearing it mentioned) - what about the grainline? Cuz again I don't see that mentioned. Aside from that, what a SUPER detailed explanation. I also plan to look at your other video where you do the torso block. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey!! If you're working with a bedsheet the way that I did, the longer side (top to bottom of the sheet) of the bedsheet runs parallel to the grainline, and the shorter ends (left to right) run along the crossgrain. Let me know if this is the info you're looking for. 💕

[@niyabrown1407]

I’m confused. What is measurement A ? How did you get 11 ? Is there an easier way to get the measurements?

[@damr1257]

hello! the tutorial is very good and clear, but i don’t really understand how the top is stretching if you just cut the A piece as waist and don’t make it gathered at the top. Also, would it be okey if i made the width of C, 40 and not 45(if i have the same measurements as u)

you can try taking your tier A width and multiplying it by 4 for Tier B and then for Tier C multiply the tier A width by 6. Hope this helps, but if not, feel free to message me on instagram @shaniainside

i have a question, how many yards do you think you used for this? i’m going to use this tutorial to make a skirt, it’s such a good video!! thank you so much!

[@ShaniaShania]

Lovely! I’d say about 1.5-2yards

[@madeleine1803]

Oh, thank you so much!! That’s perfect for the amount I have! Haha, I wasn’t expecting you to respond to this since it aas an older video, so I’m pleasantly surprised!! 😊❤️

[@nirupachadha6345]

Lovely idea to use a beautiful print of a sheet . Why did you skimp on the fabric when you could have got a lot more gathers especially the yoke of the waist. You would have got a very even lovely flow of the fabric.

[@ShaniaShania]

Nirupa Chadha hey Nirupa! Thaaank you! I love the print of the sheet too! 😍 I actually had previously cut the sheet to make something else and so I didn’t really have the full amount of the sheet to use in order to make the skirt fuller. I did, however, have enough fabric to make the skirt just a little longer, and that, I regret I not doing. 😩

[@zoeeker150]

pleaseeeeee what is torso block hip measurement i cant find it

[@mushroom_e]

it's in the description :)

[@gratituderanch9406]

Accidental pin line? You can usually use rubbing alcohol, honestly denatured is best, just make sure and put some absorbent paper towel or something underneath it and blot it on top and keep spraying with rubbing alcohol till the pen comes up. Even works with sharpie.

[@ShaniaShania]

Oh wow!! I didn’t know about this, I’ll give it a try next time. Thank youuuu!

[@mushroom_e]

do you need to topstitch anything (especially the seams in between each tier)? thank you!

[@ShaniaShania]

topstitching will help to professionalize the final skirt, so good call on that!

Hi I went to get torso block, but haven’t been accepted. I can’t print on A3 paper though, how do I go about it?

Hey There! i just approved you. You don't need to print on A3. US Letter size is the suggested paper size.

[@FancyRavenmoon]

What do you do to make it longer?? I’d like it longer please?

[@ShaniaShania]

at 06:41 your total measurement should be how long you want the whole skirt to be (from your waist band to where you want your skirt to end), and then you would follow the other steps in the tutorial based on that total measurement.

[@charliebriand6050]

how many yards would you say i need to make this skirt?

the # of yards you'll need depends on your measurements, but if you're the same size&height as me then you'll need about 2 yards of fabric

[@Nannazut]

why didn't you stretch the elastic of the waist band??

[@ShaniaShania]

That’s a great question! I didn’t stretch the elastic because it’s exactly the same measurement of my waist. Also, since I’m Separately gathering the casing, there’s no need to stretch the elastic too. I would only stretch the elastic if I were using it to gather the waist band/casing. Let me know if you’re still confused, but I hope this helps!
