Tysm hihi 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@vd1923]

Can I use jersey material with this pattern?? First time I see your content & love how easy this seems! 😍 Hope there’s more coming.

[@Lizziepatterns]

I’ve never tried this pattern on jersey but the main characteristic we need here is a good stretch on bias so I guess jersey would do the job! And thanks a lot for your lovely feedback 💖 Yes! Many tutorials are in production 🥰

[@nicolavisser5971]

What if I am using two layers, a sheer outer and a inner lining, how do I attach the elastic then? Please please can you explain 😅

[@agood38112]

I found you on instagram, and have loved looking through all of your beautiful photos and designs. I can't wait to see what patterns you develop. How much ease do you add to the hip measurement? I'm making one for my daughter-in-law and can't decide. She doesn't live near here, so I can't try it on her, and I have not worked with bias before. Thanks!

[@Lizziepatterns]

Thank you so much! That's so sweet! This pattern doesn't have ease because it's sewn on the bias which adds some stretch! To get this particular shape, I even deducted 1 cm from the hip measurement 😉

[@agood38112]

Thank you so much for your super fast reply. 💕@@Lizziepatterns

[@Pdm_0607]

I love how you made this! Is this satin fabric? What color was it?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Thank you!! Yes it is viscose satin in light grey color.

[@03_Ayesha]

Hii, thank you for the video it was very easy to understand! Would you reccoment this for a beginner? I want to make one, but have never sewn before haha

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! I would say yes since this skirt is very much beginner friendly. But choosing a cheap and easy material to work with for your first may be a good idea 😅

[@VTK72]

❤❤❤

[@user-zs7fk7mk8n]

❤❤❤❤

[@latifalalmi7889]

Thank you for your video. I want to know where can I buy this kind of band in the web.

[@Lizziepatterns]

I bought my ban-rol on Etsy few years ago. It is orginally refered as stiff non-adhesive waistband interfacing.

[@sonayozmen44]

👏

[@ilkbahar9424]

So, I place this pattern on 3 layers of skirt and cut it that way?

[@zainabmulla4381]

I’m nearly done with making the skirt. I used linen for my skirt. Everything was going smoothly until I tried it on before attaching the elastic on. I tried it on and there seemed to be a lot of excess fabric around my waist maybe because I’m petite so the skirt measured a bit longer. I thought attaching the elastic would fix it but I soon as I sewed on the elastic the fabric just didn’t sit well it was overlapping and just didn’t look good. If I fold the elastic twice over you can’t quite tell but what would you suggest I do to fix this?

[@Lizziepatterns]

hi! Could you please share a photo of your skirt waistline where there's problem via email (address is in my profile)? I will check and let you know the solution.

[@jaelvillalba7358]

Gracias No hablo tú mismo idioma ❤pero te entendí perfectamente Un gran abrazo

[@Craftmasterist]

How much fabric would this take?

[@AdaaCarroll]

Hi, how you called the white stripe to make the rolled baby hem? 😊

[@Lizziepatterns]

hi!! It's called "ban-rol tape" or originally "non-fusible waistband Interfacing"

[@mfr9236]

Bom dia , sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e não acho essa fita tela (ban-roll) tem algum vendedor na AliExpress que pode me indicar?

[@sofiagonzalez1771]

Hi! Is it possible to make this skirt high waisted? I do not know if the pattern would be different. Tnx.

[@Lizziepatterns]

Yes it’s totally possible. The pattern will need just a small adjustment. So if you decide to make it high waisted, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email, I will show you how to do that!

[@oluwatoyin6348]

How many yards of fabric did you use for this skirt ?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi!! You’ll need approximately 2 yards for this maximum length skirt.

[@giwaimisioluwa]

Nice video, please where did you get the pattern from

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! It’s my pattern, the link is in the description box 🫶🏻

[@ccsbsbshz]

[@Lizziepatterns]

Thankssss 🫶🏻

[@jenniferito2326]

Can you suggest a brand for purchasing the Ban roll tape?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! Mine is non branded and I bought on Etsy France few years ago. You can search: "non- fusible waistband interfacing" to see if there is any online shops that deliver to your place.

[@jenniferito2326]

Thanks so much. I found some and this method worked like a charm!

[@CaleenRizi]

Was the waist cut to your hip measurement?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! No it’s not. I made it smaller hip measurements to have less bumps and lumps around the waistline area ;)

[@nazgercek6883]

Hey can you explain the right side wrong side difference. I did not see any difference but wrong side seems bad

[@akandeeniola471]

If the skirt doesn't have a zipper and it looks fitted on your waist how does it pass through your hips.

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! The skirt is cut on bias so it’s naturally stretchy. One note is this type of skirt should be made with light weight fluid fabric 👌🏼

[@saveourplanet4204]

Cutting fabric on the bias is what makes it stretchy. It's a classic tried and true sewing technique used by the great design houses for over 100 years. Nice to see young people sewing again! 😊kudos!

[@jaelvillalba7358]

Déjame y te lo explico La tela se corta al bies y de esta manera queda con más stretch y al pasar por la cadera lo hace sin ningún problema Y si no te da confianza auméntale 2 cm a la cintura

[@bandanarathore]

​@@saveourplanet4204 Won't the fabric stretch out in some time? If there is no elastic or zip to hold the waist circumference?

[@touheed6140]

@@bandanarathoremaybe only if u wear it constantly for months. In my experience, washing the skirt ‘resets’ the form

[@tiffany9720]

Hi how much material did you use for this skirt please?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi you’ll need approximately 1m90 on a fabric 1m30 wide 👌🏼

[@Dialloo757]

hi, can you make a tutorial to assemble the pattern in 4 A paper, I bought the pattern trying to assemble it but am a little lost :)

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi!! Thanks a bunch for giving this pattern a try! Please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email! I will send you step-to-step video to explain how!

[@tessycw45]

How long did it take for you to make it?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! About 30 minutes, but it's also because I'm used to it now ;)

[@tessycw45]

WOW! Thank you!@@Lizziepatterns

[@pampeterson3822]

I love this tutorial. I tried to find the pattern on your website, but couldn't find it. I would make this skirt if I could get the pattern and how much fabric I would need.

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hii!! The pattern is under “Shop Pattern” page. Otherwise you can follow the link in the description under this video. You will need approximately 1m80 ~ 1m90 of fabric depending on your size.

[@imtired4568]

Hey, what material did you use?

[@Lizziepatterns]

hi! It was a beautiful 100% viscose satin

[@LeNguyen-dv2gf]

This video is so nice for beginners. Can you perhaps share how you measure and draw the pattern for this skirt?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hii!! Thank you so much! Sure I will post it on my KZbin Shorts. In the mean time, feel free to check out my website, there are full pattern and instruction book too! Happy sewing!

[@kathleennewbern480]

I think this is going to be my next project. I love the look of this skirt and your video explains all the steps. Thank you.

[@Lizziepatterns]

​@@kathleennewbern480 Thank you! I'm thrilled you found it helpful! Feel free to ask if you have any questions while working on it.

[@rielbahandi2625]

@@Lizziepatterns Hello, just stalked your acc and I didn’t see a video about the pattern 😢

[@negina]

I don’t understand how you fold the material and cut the skirt What length? What measurements?

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi! You'll want to fold the fabric because this type of skirt needs to be cut on the bias grain (the direction that's 45 degrees to the edge). And the exact length and measurements depend on the sizes. 😉

[@Mspuddin67]

Where did you get the pattern?

[@rielbahandi2625]

Up!

[@user-mh7je9pn2n]

Hi please how much fabric (cm) we need to make it

[@Lizziepatterns]

Hi there! You'll need around 180cm on a 1m30 wide fabric ;)

[@bnvs1024]

Could I make this with 1 yard of fabric?

[@Lizziepatterns]

@@bnvs1024 Hi! Unfortunately 1 yard won't be enough for this maxi bias skirt but you can make a shorter version ;)

[@bnvs1024]

@@Lizziepatterns thank you!

[@portiamanci8805]

Thankyou I just made my skirt and it came out perfect 👌👌

[@alang6888]

I printed the pattern but i think i print it wrong because my front and back pieces are not the same

[@Lizziepatterns]

Yes, the front and back pieces are not supposed to be the same. The back is slightly bigger than the front, and the front waistline is also more curved than the back's.
