Making an ADJUSTABLE Hoop-Petti! (Hoop Skirt + Petticoat) | Lolita DIY

Hello Everyone!
In today's video I share the process of how I made my adjustable hoop-petit! A hoop skirt + petticoat combo to hopefully eliminate the need for me to have to make another petticoat to wear with my lolita dresses for quite a long while. Now does this mean that I’ll never make another petticoat again? - Of course not! I’m a lolita! I need at least 30 for no other reason than to color match with every dress I own (/sarcasm) LOL! But at the very least this should tide me over for the rest of the year and save my precious fingers the pain of having to gather, ruffle and sew together another petticoat.
This is one of the projects I mentioned previously back in my Feb. ’Sew with Me’ video and is actually the last project that I’m going to make a video for from that video (*I will probably make the apron from that video either this month or next month). Now that spring is here, I’m going to start working on some of the spring/summer projects that I’ve been putting off until I after I made this one, and I’m very excited to start on those so I can share a few of them with you here as well!
🌷What projects are you all working on for this spring/summer? Dresses? Blouses? An adjustable hoop-petti of your own to survive the heat and be the most perfect poof on your block? Tell me about it! As I low-key need more ideas of what to make for spring besides more aprons and a floral jsk! Lol 😂
As always I hope you enjoyed this video, thanking you so much for watching and I’ll see you all soon with another DIY video!

It turned out so good!! This is exactly the sort of thing I've been meaning to make for months and this was really helpful, thank you!

[@SewBlack]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you found it helpful ❤️

[@Chewaai]

Your enthusiasm is very infectious

[@Kimbuucha]

The amount of talent it takes to make something like this… hats off to you 💓

[@Kardinaalilintu]

Oooh :o it's sooo cute! I never concidered making my hoopskirt adjustable but now I feel like there's no other way. Also; the more I watch your videos, the more respect I have for your sewist skills and eye for fashion, your wardrobe (or what I've seen of it) is rather incredible.

[@SewBlack]

Thank you so much!! ❤️ And Lol You're so right, there really is no other way! Honestly after I finished mine, I couldn't believe I went so long without one lol!

[@SilverInkStaind]

Okay, so this will be my official third try to make one of these but I *WILL* make it this time~! Thank you for the advice!

[@reganrose04]

Absolutely genius Best of both worlds with this contraption

[@Etude_Aria_Nell]

This makes me want to upcycle a hoop skirt I own and make an elastic version of it, overall I very smart idea to end the petticoat difflacion problem with petticoats

[@tnguyen9386]

This is so adorable and versatile, kudos to you for not giving up on making your dream petticoat! I imagine it must feel cool and refreshing compared to a regular petticoat. I wore a long hoop petticoat for one of my longer Baby dresses during the summer and it was so much breezier than when I wore a long cotton petti-skirt for another outfit. I will definitely put a petti-hoop skirt on my summer to-do list, which currently has sailor lolita accessories and casual/otome cotton blouse and another attempt at cottage core stays/corset. Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@SewBlack]

Omg, soooo refreshing! Lol The high today where I live was 86 and the feeling of not having layers and layer of tulle surrounding my legs was amazing! - Ahhh, your summer sewing list sounds so much fun ❤️! I also have a blouse on my list of things to sew and at some point I would also love to add some sailor lolita pieces to my wardrobe as well, as I've also thought sailor lolita was such a cute look for summer! - But anyways, sending you all the motivation and positive sewing energy so that you can complete all of things on your sewing to-do list! 🍀

[@sammichbread]

OHH THIS TURNED OUT SO CUTE :D!! IT LOOKS SO FANCY is it bad that the boning made me think of electrical wiring tho lol even down to the cardboard between the wires

[@Privy.Things]

Eureka!!! What an amazing tutorial. Thank you! Thank you!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@NerdySillyGirl]

It's swishy and ruffly, I love it 😍 Congratulations on finishing this project!

[@ojyochan]

Wow, great job!

[@dawnfitch9206]

This turned out so nice!

[@stephaniesews6603]

It's literally SO cute!

[@pileofhagfish]

I love your videos so much, they're such a wonderful quality and help to anyone trying to have a good entry into sewing lolita fashion and I've been going back through them for the past month

[@SciFiCheerGirl]

This is absolutely adorable! Well done!

[@ReinaElizondo]

Aww! This is so cute and such a clever design! 🤩🤩🤩

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Thanks doll! Taking this idea to her Faire w me!!! Cheers

[@kayel4487]

Such a great project! Thanks for sharing!

[@elisacoffey5140]

FanTAStic!

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

This is really cute and so happy that you were able to figure out how to create it. How does it behave when you sit down? In the past hoop skirts, bustles, and other structures could make sitting down a challenge unless you practiced before attempting to do it with company or strangers around. I still wonder how some women managed to do it with the really large hoops, different sizes of bustles and the wide narrow hoops that made it difficult to go in and out through doorways. How much space did they have to allow for women's skirts at formal dinners. Because in most estates and manor homes they actually used rulers when setting the table and spacing the chairs around the table.

[@Pixielocks]

This video is sooo helpful and easy to understand thank you so much :D🫶🏻💕

[@SewBlack]

Yayyyy! I’m so glad you found it useful 😊❤️

[@saphiwrath]

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

[@cap4life1]

So good!! You did a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing your method ❤

[@meghanhorton7525]

I love the poof! And I love seeing your happy poof dance.

[@margaretoliver7954]

Great to see the setbacks followed by your triumph!

[@lexi9924]

This is awesome. Found your channel last night and I already have fallen in love with everything I watched!!!

[@SewBlack]

Yay! Thank you! 😊 So glad to have you here 💜

[@teasandqueues]

I kinda want to try this now, I’ll just need to work out all the measurements in metric 😂 I don’t think I’ll be able to find that unique card metal boning though…

[@crystal8160]

I’m curious why not use ribbon for the vertical strips and create a loop to hold the hoops? The snaps are literally genius!

[@SewBlack]

I just liked the look of the fabric better lol I don’t really have any other reason.

[@sakurap]

Amazing!!

[@seffysstuff596]

If this isn't goals I don't know what is. It looks so pro! It looks so cute!

[@Hiinagiku]

It's super super cute ! 🥰 Thanks for all the explain and process, I will try to make one. ^_^

[@SewBlack]

You’re welcome! Sending you all the good sewing vibes and motivation to make one of your own!🍀

[@bigasspockets]

I’ve been looking for a tutorial for a Glinda the good witch costume, and this is perfect! Thank you for all your effort

[@Humannamehere]

This is phenomenal, thank you so much for so sharing. I’m scared to try but your tips and insight make me feel braver ❤

[@magalagie]

this is so helpful! I just decided to make a hoop / pettiskirt for halloween and using this as guidance i made the hoop in just a few hours thank you sm! so excited how it turned out ❤️

[@tosum98]

Thanks so much 💜

[@HoneySpecials]

OMG this turned out amazing! You really did such a great job 😭

[@SewBlack]

Thank you so much 😊💕

[@chibivesicle9612]

Nice, I loved your background of the versions that didn't work out well as opposed to the final one that did! I appreciate people stating what just didn't work and what does work. Making me feel like I should make my own hoop skirt for the summer . . .

[@SewBlack]

Same! I also really like it when people show or at the very least talk about some of things that either didn't work or went wrong during their sewing process as sometimes it can really help you avoid making the same mistakes or just give you more information to think about if you're planning on making something similar. - Also trust your feeling and make one! Do it! Give in to this virtual peer-pressure and make the hoop-petti so you too can be the most perfect poof on your block! 😎🎀 (plus summer is coming and this thing is breeze af! lol)

[@chibivesicle9612]

@@SewBlack hahahah! yeah, I'm only looking at two partially finished skirts. a retro 70s pattern with pockets and my attempt to replicate a cdrama 'generic' hanfu skirt which is likely going to be a learning experience. buuuuuut my current petticoat which got a new elastic band recently is still having uneven poof issues. hrrrrmmmm.

[@Wizzyfrog]

this is adorable i am gonna sob

[@lauraoergel6003]

This was brilliant!! If you coule sort yhis out with maybe small elastic loops this would help a ton with keeping the smaller sizes together

[@sweetesthoneybee]

It looks so cute!!! I wished you showed how to sit in it. Will it pop up? Do you hike up your skirt to sit?

[@magiv4205]

I need to know where you got these adorable stockings for personal reasons.

[@SewBlack]

Hi! They’re by a brand called ‘Angelic Pretty’ and I want to say bought them second hand off Mercari 🙂

[@ItachaTheLostUchiha]

Hello! I want to make this for a LARP in June but I'm curious - how do you sit? Is it comfortable or do they not get in the way if you are careful

[@tohrurikku]

Good work! I am not sure if I can do so well. Now the big question that many lolitas ask, how is it when you sit down?

[@SewBlack]

Lol comfortable as long as you don't sit directly on the hoops. With a normal petticoat you never really have to think about how to sit, but with a hoop skirt you always have remember to lift up the back of your skirt over whatever it is that your going to sit on so the hoops go over it. I promise it's a lot easier than it sounds lol 😅

[@tohrurikku]

@@SewBlack I think I have seen some tutorial videos. I like the look of a hoop petticoat, but I am not sure if I like some of the hoops you have to go through when you wear them. Pun not intended, but it works.

[@MagdalenaTheremin]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

[@damnbro_idc]

KZbin recommends this because they know I sure as hell we don't want to wear a 5 layer petticoat in summer

[@perfectly.natural]

How do u sit down though

[@SewBlack]

How you normally sit, just don’t sit on the hoops.
