Are you new to sewing and eager to try your hand at making a stylish flared skirt? Look no further! This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process and equip you with the skills you need to create a beautiful flared skirt. Let’s get started!

Gather Your Materials

Before diving into the sewing process, it’s essential to gather all the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Fabric of your choice (approx. 2 yards)
  • Elastic (1 inch wide)
  • Tape measure
  • Scissors
  • Pins
  • Sewing machine
  • Thread

Measure and Cut

Start by measuring your waist and desired skirt length. These measurements will be crucial for cutting the fabric accurately. Once you have your measurements, follow these steps:

  1. Using the measurements, cut two rectangular pieces of fabric for the skirt panels.
  2. Measure your waist circumference and cut the elastic accordingly.

Prepare the Panels

Now that you have your fabric pieces ready, it’s time to prepare them for sewing:

  1. Place the fabric panels on top of each other, with the right sides facing inwards. Pin them together along the sides.
  2. Using a sewing machine, stitch the sides of the fabric panels together, leaving the waist area open.

Create the Waistband

In order to create a comfortable and secure waistband for your flared skirt, you’ll need to:

  1. Fold the top edge of the skirt down by about an inch, creating a casing for the elastic waistband.
  2. Pin the folded edge, leaving a small opening to insert the elastic later.
  3. Stitch along the pinned edge, ensuring you secure the opening for the elastic.

Insert the Elastic

Now it’s time to insert the elastic waistband:

  1. Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic and thread it through the opening in the waistband casing.
  2. Once the elastic has been threaded through, overlap the ends by an inch and stitch them securely.
  3. Close the opening in the waistband casing by stitching it shut.

Finish and Hem

The final step is to finish and hem your flared skirt:

  1. Try on the skirt and adjust the elastic if necessary to achieve a perfect fit.
  2. Hem the bottom edge of the skirt by folding it up and stitching it in place.

And voila! You have successfully sewn a flared skirt. Now you can enjoy wearing your unique creation or create more skirts with different fabrics and lengths. Happy sewing!
