L'amirah Fashion: Sewing Is My Passion by kemesty(f): 6:43pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
Good day everyone. My name is Williams Esther. I love sewing , it's a hobby I have had since I was a lil kid. Being creative and putting pieces together. I am an instructor in a fashion school in Abuja precisely in Wuse II. In my little way of giving back and a great flare for sewing, I want to teach at least one person here how to sew and inspire a few persons . We are going to see various kinds of designs of garments and how to cut and sew the pieces together. I have knowledge in both the free-hand method and pattern drafting. 'SEW' LET'S GO! If you are in, indicate by saying 'I AM IN . When I get up to 10 I am in, we will start. |

Hello everyone. I have got up to the number. Now, let's go. We will start with the basic skirt which will give way to other skirt variations. Here are some images of basic skirts.

Before we continue, let's see how to take proper body measurements. For this skirt, we need #Waist # Hips # Length of skirt as desired # Body rise/ hip depth - the distance from waist to hip

Keep up the good job. |
Re: L'amirah Fashion: Sewing Is My Passion by kemesty(f): 6:47am On Aug 09, 2017 |
Divide the circumferential/ round measurements into 4 parts. Here I waist 30 = 30÷4= 7.5 (add seam allowance )7.5 +2= 9.5 Hips 38= (38÷4) + 2= 9.5 Tip to tip = 8 ( this is needed for sewing darts which gives shape to the skirt. This is divided into 2, then add 0.5 inch allowance.(8÷2) +0.5= 4.5 Length =22 +2( hem allowance) Body rise/ hip depth tells you exactly where to measure your hips. It's the distance from the waist to the fullest part of the hips. 2 Likes |

Input 1.5 inch zip allowance at the back. Sew sides together and attach your waist band to the skirt.

Thanks for the illustration ma.
pls how is the tip to tip measured? or is it a standard value? |
Re: L'amirah Fashion: Sewing Is My Passion by kemesty(f): 8:16am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Take the measurement from one nipple point of the bust to the other. It's also called bust apart or bust span
