Summary
Highlights
For the top part of the skirt, use fabric folded right sides touching, ensuring the width is more than the hip measurement. Mark the waist-to-crotch measurement, transfer the hip measurement, and cut in a slant to connect the hip measurement to the crotch point.
Take the rectangular top piece and pin it right sides touching with the front piece of the skirt's top section. Sew along the edge. Repeat this process for the back part of the skirt. For the lower skirt section, use a loose stitch to gather the fabric so it matches the length of the V-cut top piece. Pin the top and bottom pieces right sides together and sew a straight line.
After attaching the zipper, bring the other side of the skirt together. You can try on the skirt to mark and adjust the waistline if needed. Pin the sides together and sew a straight stitch down.
The video introduces a boho maxi skirt with a gathered, flowing silhouette and a V-shaped seam, giving it a vintage, cottage core aesthetic. This versatile skirt can be dressed up or down, making it a wardrobe staple. The host, Ruby, welcomes viewers and encourages them to prepare their scissors and fabric to begin the tutorial.
With the fabric folded right sides touching, measure and mark the hip-to-floor measurement, adding 2 inches for seam allowance. Then, mark the hip measurement multiplied by two across the fabric. Cut about 3.5 inches down at an angle to create a V-shaped dip for the front and cut an identical piece for the back skirt panel.
Overlock the bottom edge of the skirt. Then, perform a simple fold-over and top stitch to hem the skirt. The creator suggests using the sewing machine foot as a guide for the fold or marking a half-inch allowance.
The completed skirt is showcased, and the creator expresses satisfaction with the result. Viewers are encouraged to provide their feedback and to stay tuned for the next week's tutorial, which will feature how to make a matching top.
