Tablecloth to Skirt Transformation | Sewing how to | Whitney Sews

Good job for emphasizing HIP MEASUREMENT when using non-stretch fabric. I've read far too many sad comments from those who were not able to get a cotton skirt over their hips after following instructions for a skirt using stretch fabric & waist measurement ... Excellent tutorial!

I don't even freaking sew but I love watching Whitney cause she turns anything into freaking masterpieces. Keep it up girl.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Aww thanks! You should totally learn to sew though...it's fun :)

That is a darling skirt Whitney!! great sewing and repurposing. I saw a lady in school who made a beautiful dress from 2 tablecloths. I would have never known. fabric is fabric, no matter what it was before!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

[@carriescostumescrochet]

You are awesome. This tutorial was great, very clear. I just made my own circle skirt from a tablecloth and I added pockets. In my video I recommended that viewers check out your channel because I've never been disappointed with the tutorials of yours that I've checked out.

[@juliannehouston3467]

So helpful! The skirt I made is exactly what I wanted, thank you!

[@thewritejohansen8054]

This is genius! I actually have a tablecloth I hated as a cloth but saved as a just because piece. A skirt? Why didn’t I think of that? Love you! Mwah!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you liked the idea! Let me know if you turn yours into a skirt too :)

[@giaalvarado2063]

I like how you did the casing. I have a few circle skirts to finish. This will help me a lot.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks! It's my go to way now :)

[@iamsuzzie]

[@lindadechow2212]

[@kristamarie6104]

What an awesome idea! I love circle skirts but I always have a hard time attaching the elastic waistband, even on baby skirts, any tips?

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad you like it! Here's how I make circle skirts for my kiddos - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5m2aJuLerWdaaM

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out :)

[@blacksweettee]

Idea: The little circle part can be turn into a quilted teapot or small cooking pot cozy. :)

[@ComicatCreations]

[@divinginthedeepend7074]

I found a tablecloth online I want to try this with. I'm 5'11. I don't know how big of a tablecloth I need. Do you have any idea what it would take for a midi skirt?

[@lowec315]

So cute. You did a great job.

[@Whitney_Sews]

SeW preTTy and creative!

[@crafty_mari_m9977]

Cute skirt!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you :)

[@crazyjo2197]

How much fabric do you think would I need to do this?

[@Whitney_Sews]

I'm not sure. Really depends on your measurments, the length thw skirt will be and the width of the fabric you'll be using. You can probably find a yardage calculator online that will help.

[@crazyjo2197]

By hip measurement do you mean like the bony part or should I measure my bum cuz it's bigger than my hips

[@Whitney_Sews]

Around the fullest part of your hip/bum area is the measurement to use.

[@sarakristoffersen7487]

Don't know what happened but I cut off way too much, the hole is so big!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Just do a little bit of gathering or small pleats around the top edge to bring it down to the right size. If you're worried about them looking funny make the gathers or pleats in the back.

[@deke1974]

It all worked until I got to the waistband. Fail!!
