Elegant skirt 'half-sun' in two hours

The skirt-semi-sunshine features a small filling on the waist line and a significant amount of the bottom of the product. Such models lie beautiful tails, creating a light, flying silhouette. Beginner dressmakers love to cut a half-sun for the ease of sewing and cutting. Create this skirt can be literally in a couple of hours, given the time to build a drawing. The expense of a fabric for tailoring this model to calculate very easily. It is equal to the length of the product, multiplied by two. The optimum width of the panel is 1.5 meters. From such a piece of fabric you will get a skirt-half-sunny length of midi or maxi. It depends on the circumference of the waist.

How to sew a skirt-half-sun?

Step one. Building a Pattern

Correctly taken measurements ensure perfect fit of the skirt-half sun in the figure. To build the drawing, you need two measures: the waist in the girth and the length of the product. Stock up in a centimeter, stand up freely, straight back. Place the tape around the waist and lock it so that it does not interfere with the movement. The value obtained will be the first measure we need. Then from the waist line, lower the centimeter down and fix the length you need.

At the heart of the pattern of this product lies the unfolding of a truncated cone. To do this, first draw a right angle, taking it to the vertex point O. From it, we lay off the segment OT, which is equal to the waist circumference divided by two and multiplied by 0.64. Further from the point T we lay down another 20 cm, this will be point B. Through it passes the line of the hips. Then measure from the same point T down a length equal to the length of the product. Mark this point as H. Now, on the second side of the angle, we plot the segment OT *, equal in magnitude to OT, TB * = TB and TH * = TH. Thus, we obtain the markings on both sides of the right angle. By joining together the pairs of points T * and T, D * and D, H * and H, we obtain the sweep of the cone. Ready-made skirt-half-sunshine consists of two such parts.

Step number two. Cutting details

To clearly observe the technology of cutting the fabric, it should only be produced on a high table of sufficient size. Fold the fabric in half, spread out the pattern, pinning it so it does not slip. When cutting out the details, do not forget to retreat for the seam allowance. At the waist and sides not less than 1.5 cm, for a hem of at least 4 cm.

Step three. Sew a skirt

We sweep the seams, leaving the lightning cut open. We sweep every detail. We are slowing the side. We pin the zipper with pins. We change the paw in the car to one-sided and sew the lock. By the way, when you get a lightning, be sure to ask what it is intended for. You can only use a clasp for a skirt, trousers are not so strong.

Our skirt half-sun is almost ready, it remains to sew a belt to it. We cut out a strip of fabric. Its length corresponds to the waist, plus 5 cm per clasp. The width depends on your wishes, but not less than 4 cm when folded. The belt is paved with a suitable doublerin. We make a noose and we attach a belt.

To ensure that the skirt-half sun sat flawlessly, the product should be given a "hanging". Fix the skirt on a special hanger with clothespins, moisten with water from the spray gun and leave in such condition for a day.

In order to sew the bottom properly, you need help. Self-measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the skirt is unlikely to succeed. Do it most conveniently on a stool or on a table. After the bend is planned, tuck the fabric in half and stitch it with one suture. If the thickness of the material allows, the bottom of the finished product can be sewn in the old fashion, on the hands. This method is not so fast, but the seam is more elastic and much stronger.

To give the model a retro sound, wear a skirt with ballet and a wide leather belt. Suitable top: short monochrome jackets, bolero, tight t-shirts, tops-bando.
