Welcome to this little fun video I had as a cozy summer project. I have also recieved many questions about skirts, both vintage, historical and modern, so now I felt it was time to show you one method. The fact is, you can almost use the same method for all of them if you want. Naturally, certain changes can be needed, such as material, length, width, closing and hemming method. But the basics are the same, and they are extremely simple. So grab your sewing machine, or needle and sew along!
COMMON QUESTIONS:
Camera?
Panasonic Lumix GH5
Lenses?
Olympus 12-40mm
Panasonic Leica Notricion 42,5mm
Are you recording the videos by yourself?
Yes everything, if I'm not mentioning anything else.
Comissions?
No, but I am happy to help you with your projects as much as I can!

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!

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
@lyndabird9401 3 жыл бұрын
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😉

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
@BerylThanh 3 жыл бұрын
@@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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

This video was perfect, I am also making (or trying to make) a skirt with patchwork pockets made out of an old curtain. What a coincidence! I love your videos and they also inspire me to continue to try new sewing projects even if it looks hard.

PLEASE make more videos like this! Maybe a cute top that would go nicely with this style skirt? I love these kinds of timeless styles, that have a vintage feel, but fit into moder times. The striped pockets are a great touch 💕

Aaaw! You really sewed it with your own hands, that is amazing. And the skirt looks amazing. I always wanted to sew something, but I don't have the machine. But you inspired me just to do it with a needle. Thank you, my dear. 😍🙏

The skirt is beautiful. So simple and stylish......I am a child of the 50s , and naturally love this style. I also enjoyed your breaking instructions down , and de-mystifying the sewing process. Am now a subscriber. Love the landscape too by the way!

This is so lovely, I'm so happy I watched your video! I'm a total beginner in the sewing world, and I would love to make my own clothes someday, but it always seems so complicated... But now I believe I can actually do it, thanks to your tips and guidance! I'd love to see more videos like this, where you show your process :)

Hi! I just started watching your videos a while ago, and I really like them! They are very well made and make me even more interested in historical clothing and inspire me to do try and dabble into making them as well:) Unfortunately, I just barely missed the video where you answered questions, and I have a few of my own, so if you have time, I'd be very grateful if you could answer them. 1) How do you wash clothes that you make? By hand or in a washer? 2) Do the natural dyed clothes color the water? I mean, can I wash them with other clothes without worrying that they will color them? 3) Do your hand sewn stitches hold well? Thank you for making such amazing videos!

Thank you so much!!!! This video was really helpful! I recently wanted to make a skirt, but I didn’t exactly know how 😂 All I knew was a circle skirt, but I wasn’t in the mood to make that again haha. But this skirt is so pretty! I’m definitely going to try this!

Those pleats 😍...when you held up the giant circle it looked a little crazy, but the way you did the pleating and your finishing touches made it really special.
