How to sew a skirt in Boho style.

Boho style is not just clothing, but a whole philosophy of life, the concept of a combination of the incongruous. At first glance, it may seem too cumbersome, since the layering is here in the process. Lower skirts, a lot of scarfs and laces, fur vests and boas as if from a grandmother's chest ... I can describe the charms of a Bohho infinitely, because I literally fell ill with him and now I can not imagine life without all these romantic, cute outfits.

When I decided to sew a skirt in this style, the first thought was to find something suitable in magazines by sewing. Having reconsidered the mountain of literature, I regretfully stated that it is not so easy to find a pattern. Therefore, I decided to sew a skirt in Boho style on the basis of an ordinary "Tatyanka". For her, I needed a tissue cut equal to two volumes of thighs (if you do not like extra puffiness, enough will be one and a half). Since Boho is, first of all, natural fabrics, I chose flax with a discreet floral pattern.

Also, 10 m of hats and 6 m of cotton lace and velvet lace for finishing were used to sew the skirt. All this wealth was used for decoration.

So, we sew a skirt in Boho style. Pattern for "Tatyanka" is not required. Just take a rectangle of cloth of the necessary width. Calculate it is very simple. You need to measure the hips and multiply it by a coefficient from 1.5 to 2.5 (the larger the number, the richer the ruffles). As we plan to sew a long skirt, we'll take another measure. For this, a centimetric tape measures the distance from the waist line to the ankle. Then we postpone the resulting value on the fabric and cut off the excess.

With the cut of our skirt is finished. You can proceed to sewing. To begin with, we cut the slices and process the upper edge with a double fold. The bottom of the skirt will be trimmed with braid and lace, so we will not file it.

That the model does not look too unpretentious, we will decorate it with protectors, which will be arranged in random order. They are done in this way. On the fabric lay two shallow folds, one above the other, we lay them out and stymie.

On the lower edge, we take and sew a seam "zig-zag" lace. To close the not very attractive place of connection, we put on the braid over the braid.
I will note that it is possible to sew a skirt of a Bohho by the most elementary pattern, but without a magnificent decoration in this case can not do.

In addition to the kerchiefs and the lace border along the hem, I found two more strips of lace with lace at the bottom. After all the fronts are stitched, sew the side seam. The allowances will need to be disposed in opposite directions and thoroughly ironed with the steam.

Well, now is the time to proceed to the design of the upper edge. To join the fabric is very simple. First, the hat band is wound on the bobbin, then loosen the tension of the upper and lower threads and set the stitch length to 3 mm. We detach the edge without interruption in a spiral. The distance between the lines is about a centimeter. Do not worry that it will not work out exactly. Nobody can see small flaws behind the assemblies.

For completeness of the image, do not forget to sew a lower skirt, from a thinner fabric. You can take even ready-made coupon sewing and additionally trim it with satin ribbons.

If additional volume to you to anything, make the lower skirt a "snag." To do this, frizz from the contrasting fabric suture to the wrong side. It will not be so difficult to do this. If the fabric is thin, the frill can be sewn along the line of sewing the braid.

You can wear ready-made attire with loose blouses in the style of "Carmen", knitted waistcoats, cardigans and even a poncho. However, if you do not like these options, a simple one-color t-shirt of a well-fitting cut is also suitable. The main thing is that the whole set is a single and harmonious whole. For the Bohho style is characterized by a combination of expensive accessories (leather bags, ankle boots, vintage jewelry) and handicrafts. To combine such, at first glance, incompatible things in one package and not look like a city crazy, you need to have an exclusive sense of fashion.
