About
ankle-length, A-line, skirt
Hello!
This was my first trial of making an A-line skirt; 100% hand-stitching. I have learnt through this first experience on how to hand-sew things better and nicer - to fasten the snap buttons neatly, to sew hems and seams on clothes, and et cetera. YEA! ♥
.....
UPDATED (2nd February 2011):
It was originally a "creation", but I decided to convert it into a "how-to". I've to honestly admit that I am not good in giving instructions neither a talented seamstress, but, hopefully you'll get
the basic grasp (in sewing this simple A-line skirt) that I am trying to share it with you.
You may add anything to your skirt as creative as you can be. Have fun! :D

You Will Need
-
Step 1I'll be using an A4 paper in this instruction (as a replica for our cloth :P )
-
Step 2Equally fold your cloth into two.
-
Step 3Measure your waist and your ankle-length.
Make a pattern that somewhat looks like this.
REMEMBER: We are working on the inside of your cloth (or some people would say, "the wrong side of fabric")
-
Step 4From that waist part, make a mark where you'll sew your zip. Preferably a short one; mine is only 9.5".
-
Step 5Cut your cloth according to that pattern.
Don't forget to save an extra of 1-2 inches for sewing.
-
Step 6After you have finished cutting, it would look something like this.
-
Step 7If you don't have a sewing machine (like me), double fold all edges (using that extra 2 inches) and nicely sew a straight line through it.
If you have an over-lock sewing machine, simply use it to trim the edges.
-
Step 8Starting from the bottom of your cloth till the end your zip part, sew a straight line.
-
Step 9After you have finished sewing that straight line, it would look something like this (from its front view).
-
Step 10This is the back your of skirt. Carefully sew your zip now.
I made a rectangular band and sewn it along my waist part. Then, I had also sewn a few snap buttons there. I think it'd be nicer and more secure.
Turn your skirt inside out. You are finished.
Hehe, thanks! ;D
Thanks your comment! By the way, I had converted this into a simple how-to. Hope it could help you a lil bit. :">
Have a good day; cheers!
