How to sew a children's skirt from an adult skirt. Fashionable children's skirts from old jeans - patterns and description

To create a wonderful wardrobe with your own hands for a little fashionista is the dream of any mother. In addition to the fact that you can realize your fantasies, this idea attracts to itself and because of the fairly large cost savings. It is quite simple to make a skirt pattern for a girl, but it is worth stocking up on patience and materials.

How to choose a style?

Before creating a full-fledged product, it is recommended to decide what appearance and style will be. Skirt patterns for girls differ depending on the chosen style. The products themselves differ in the complexity of manufacturing, there are also some styles that require certain fabrics. So, for example, a plaid is unthinkable in silk or other lightweight material, and a tutu cannot be made of woolen cloth. For little girls of kindergarten age, fluffy styles are most acceptable, and for girls of school age, any - more or less free, are suitable. It all depends on the mobility of the skirt, a loose fit does not hinder movement, which is very important. Some mothers prefer to sew skirts for their daughters, complete with shorts, so that the child does not interfere with enjoying the movement and life in general.

Skirt making

For any product, measurements are needed, often no more than 3 of them are needed for a skirt, all the rest are calculated from the initial data. If it is not possible to constantly measure the child, or if the item is prepared as a gift or for sale, you can use the standard sizes according to GOST, or you can prepare an individual base pattern. The essence of such a pattern is a construction that uses all possible measurements of a person. The entire pattern is carried out in a plane, which leaves a special imprint, all "girths" on it become "half girths".

Before creating a product, you need to carefully consider all the details, the location of the darts and small details, if any. Reshaping the product while sewing is fraught with complete failure of the work. You can add patches and appliqués to the product after the completion of the main stages.

Each product is unique, but there are general principles that a seamstress must follow:

  • The marking on the fabric is made only with washable substances such as soap or pencil. The pen and markers will not wash off the fabric.
  • Any markings and all notes for correction are applied only from the seamy side of the product.
  • When working with materials on which damage is visible and cannot be corrected, you need to carefully monitor all stages and avoid blots.
  • On all products, you need to make allowances for seams, and in some places and products also an additional length designed for hem.
  • Basting of seams is an integral part of the work, it is necessary so that the fabric does not move during sewing.
  • Overedging of seams is not a must, but professional seamstresses never miss it, thanks to this stage, the product becomes much more accurate. Overcasting is indispensable if the work included "crumbling" fabrics.

Skirt sun

The simplest in terms of sewing and patterning a skirt for a girl is a sun skirt. This model is versatile in its way, suitable for both little girls and adult women. The main thing is to choose the appropriate length and design. For marking, you need only 2 measurements: the length of the skirt and the girth of the waist.

It is customary to measure the length starting from the waist, but if a skirt pattern for a girl's dress is supposed to be, then the measurement will begin where the hem will begin. The same applies to the girth required to calculate the radius - you need to measure the area in which the top of the product will be.

Skirt pattern-sun

The pattern of a skirt for girls with their own hands can be of 2 types: seamless and two-seam, it all depends on the size of the fabric. So, for a seamless one requires a fabric with a width and length equal to 2 skirt lengths, plus 2 radii, plus seam allowances. A two-seam skirt requires fabric, in width equal to the sum of the length, radius and allowance, and in length - 4 skirt lengths, 4 radii and an allowance for seams.

To sew a seamless skirt, fold the fabric 2 times, first horizontally, then vertically. Such a simple technique allows you not to bother building a symmetrical drawing, cutting out only one part. The sweep starts from the upper corner, at which the edges of the fabric do not intersect, more precisely, the nominal middle of the fabric. A radius is laid down from a point and a quarter of a circle is drawn, the next quarter is laid down to the same point, only now the radius is equal to the sum of the original radius and the length of the skirt.

  • The radius is calculated based on the waist circumference and is equal to r = from / 2π.
  • Usually 2-3 cm are bent.
  • It is customary to sew a belt onto such a skirt, the width of the belt varies at the request of the creator.
  • The model can have a zipper or be with an elastic band, in which case the girth of the hips is taken as the basis.

Skirt-year

What do you need to know about this pattern before starting a pattern? A year-old skirt for a girl (pattern) consists of six parts, but only 2 patterns are needed. This is due to complete identity. 2 parts - front and back, and 4 side. The last but optional part is the belt.

The skirt drawing is based on a simple straight skirt. To create you need the following measurements:

  • The volume of the hips, divided into 6 equal segments.
  • The length of the skirt - visually it is required to divide it into 3 equal parts.
  • Waist circumference - needed to create darts.

In fact, the product assumes 2 even triangles, sewn together by one third. The second part consists of four triangles, sewn in pairs and "inserted" into the cut. This whole design is hemmed and adjusted to the figure using darts. If a product is planned for a small child, then the product should be made more puffy and "put" on an elastic band. The pattern of a skirt for a girl with an elastic band is no different from the original with a belt and a zipper.

Fluffy skirt

The simplest thing that can be. In essence, it resembles a simple rectangle with sides fastened together. For a little girl, when creating such a model, it is better to take a fabric with a length of several girths, for example - 3. An integral feature is a belt cut exactly according to the girth of the waist. Folds are carefully laid under the belt, as a result the product turns out to be lush and cute, and also very comfortable for little girls. By the same principle, you can make ballet tutus from tulle, and instead of a belt, choose a bright wide ribbon to match the product.

Observing all the rules, even a novice seamstress can create a product that is indistinguishable from those presented in the available chains of children's clothing stores.

Hello my dear and beloved readers!

Where does it begin skirt? Where does the desire to sew at all begin?

With a small idea in my head, with a desire for exclusive and unusual, with a desire to do it myself. After such victories over oneself, amazing satisfaction comes.

I don't know how this happens with you ... but I can say to myself that when I sit down at the typewriter, it seems to me that I am plunging directly into nirvana, the hours pass imperceptibly and some new, one-of-a-kind thing is born .. you feel like a little creator .. This is a very joyful feeling)) That's why I sew. And I don't want to go and buy it in the store, I want to go through this whole process and get high!

And today I want to summarize the mini-summary of patterns of skirts... Why skirts? Because it is from skirts, as a rule, that those who have never tried to do it before begin to sew. I want to collect in one article all the skirts that I wrote about before, so that you can see how wide and diverse the world of sewing is, which can be learned so easily and with pleasure!

So, let's begin…

Before build a pattern- read the articles about the increase in the freedom of fit and, perhaps, the standard table of women's measurements will suit you.

Before you want some kind of skirt - make your own pattern base, which, in fact, is an ordinary straight classic skirt.

Well, now let's see what kind of freedom all of the above gives us ... .. Now we will consider various skirt models, which you can sew yourself, with your own hands, since the recommendations are written in the simplest language and there are a lot of step-by-step photos.

Peplum pencil skirt

This is the very first skirt, which is easiest to make from a straight classic skirt, since we just make the skirt tapered to the bottom. Plus, we also process the cut on the back middle seam with a slot and make a peplum on the skirt.

Skirt year

The peculiarity of this model is that on the front and back of the skirt from the bottom line, vertical cuts are made on the fabric, where the wedges are sewn. These wedges are called “year”. The beauty of this model is that there can be many or few wedges, they can be sewn in so that they are hidden inside the skirt and are visible only when walking, or they can lie with a flexible flounce at the bottom of the skirt.

Also, the wedges can vary in height, from 15 cm to 50 cm (depending on the original length of the skirt).

Wedges of the year can be cut out from fabrics of companions or be monochromatic (in the color of the skirt), or cut out along the side, which will look especially in fabrics with a pattern or a strip.

Such a possible variety of options for a skirt year makes it a favorite among girls and women.

A-line skirt



A-line skirt model is very simple, just the skirt expands slightly towards the bottom. This effect is achieved by closing the hoist undercuts and transferring them to the bottom line. This is done very simply, but it looks impressive.

Tulip skirt



Sweet and playful, a little childish model makes this skirt a symbol of youth and coquetry. This tulip effect is achieved by the number of folds under the belt of the skirt and the silhouette narrowed to the bottom of the skirt. The skirt on the figure looks like an unblown tulip flower. Hence the name.

Tapered skirts



We consider all the delights of tapered skirts, namely the principle of construction using a coefficient for sewing:

  • flared skirts,
  • bell skirts,
  • skirts - half sun
  • and sun skirts.

These skirts look so great because they are based on a circle (or part of a circle), when moving and walking, there is a feeling that this skirt is "alive". This skirt model helps to create a wonderful romantic look.

Half-sun skirt



We dwell in detail on this model, as one of the representatives of tapered skirts, and consider the features of constructing patterns and sewing.

pleated skirt

We learn to make folds on skirts, what is the difference between opposite, bow and one-sided folds, the peculiarities of calculating the size of folds when constructing a pattern (how many cm you need to add to the size along the waistline, so that later this difference is laid in the folds).

Principles of parallel (like in a pleated skirt) and radial spreading (like in a tulip skirt) when folding folds.

Balloon skirt

The skirt comes from childhood)). The peculiarities of sewing are that the skirt has a petticoat, which is sewn along the bottom line with the upper skirt so that the upper skirt overlaps the lower one, and the lower one is absolutely invisible. But the effect of a voluminous and fluffy bottom of the skirt is achieved. Models look especially beautiful in which the upper skirt is twisted relative to the lower one and the appearance of a spiral is created.

We learn to make a skirt on a yoke (this is such a wide belt on the hips) and neatly sew on the inner skirt.

Skirt without pattern

We sew a skirt with bow storages without a pattern. Like this?

We just calculate the amount of the warehouse to be laid on paper and build a drawing of the skirt directly on the fabric. You will see that it is very easy, and for such sewing you do not even need a base pattern.

Skirt made of old jeans



Here we generally violate generally accepted norms and foundations and sew a skirt from old jeans by live fitting and applying to the body. For sewing such a skirt, you generally have no idea about the cut and drawings. Everything happens thanks to a clear knowledge of the end result and the presence of two pairs of unnecessary jeans! Go for it))

I hope this cute short review will give you a glimpse of the wonderful world of skirts, you will start sewing them yourself and be happy about it! I wish you good luck with everything)!

From childhood, a woman strives to be fashionable and beautiful. Looking at their mothers, girls want to be like them, to have various stylish things in their wardrobe.

Not a single wardrobe of a little fashionista can be imagined without skirts. The variety of styles and colors offered by the designers will impress even the most capricious girls.

Peculiarities

Children's wardrobe must be comfortable and practical. Little women are very active, which is why the skirt should not hinder movement and give a feeling of discomfort.

Unlike skirts for adults, children's skirts have bright colors, are made of natural materials that are easy to wash, do not wrinkle or iron easily.

Popular styles and models

The challenge for designers working on girls' skirts is a daunting task. On the one hand, they must create a practical thing, and on the other, a very beautiful one.

Styles and models of children's skirts are as close as possible to adult models, but have their own characteristics.

Tutu

A tutu-shaped skirt looks very elegant and is suitable for special occasions. Most likely, this model is poorly suited for everyday wear, as it will not be very comfortable.

The tutu can be of different lengths, although many associate it with a rather short skirt. It is called a tutu because of a special lining that allows the skirt to keep its shape well and create a splendid effect.

On an elastic band

Elasticated items such as trousers and skirts are good for kids. An elastic band, unlike a zipper, will not break at the most inopportune moment. The elasticated skirt is easy to put on and take off. This is especially important for younger schoolgirls who are forced to change clothes at school on their own.

Many models of skirts with elastic bands have an imitation of a lock, which makes them more fashionable and stylish. The elastic should be wide enough that it will not crush or cause inconvenience.

In the fold

For many years and generations, the pleated skirt has not gone out of fashion and is the epitome of classic clothing. A pleated skirt is a great option for a school wardrobe.

This model goes well with a jacket and a classic jumper. The skirt itself can be either flared or straight. The size of the folds may also differ. The length ranges from shin to knee or slightly higher.

Tiered

A tiered skirt for girls is a model of two or more layers of different lengths. This model is one of the most popular and favorite among little fashionistas. This is not surprising, as the tiered skirt looks very cute, playful and flirty.

The tiers can be exactly the same or differ in texture and color. Skirts look quite beautiful, each tier of which is darker or lighter than the previous one, an ombre effect arises.

Summer

Every girl's summer wardrobe requires at least one skirt. As a rule, skirts for summer are made from lightweight natural materials. Such fabric will not stick to the body, but will allow it to breathe.

There is no lining in summer skirts, as it impairs breathability. Cotton or linen is ideal for summer. These fabrics are considered the most practical and hygienic; they absorb moisture well and dry quickly.

Plaid

Scottish fabric is a fabric in a cage, mostly in red shades. But modern plaids can be completely different colors. This model of the skirt is rather short and can be decorated with buttons.

Plaids can be wrap or classic cut. The skirt is always narrower at the waist than at the bottom. Tartan is a great option for everyday wear. The fabric used for the skirt is dense, so it can be worn in cool autumn weather.

Basque

Peplum skirts are preferred by many of the fair sex. For adult women, this model is quite advantageous and helps to hide some figure flaws.

Of course, young girls have nothing to correct in their figure, they just do not want to lag behind fashion. A peplum skirt is a classic option for school or special occasions. The most important thing is to choose the right top of the image. It shouldn't be too wide.

On suspenders

Suspenders were designed to support trousers or skirts instead of a belt. Now, braces have become a stylish decor element that suits young ladies well.

Skirts with suspenders look quite flirty, and the image becomes light and casual. Skirts with suspenders are most often above the knee length; with other length options, suspenders will look ridiculous and ridiculous.

Straight

Straight classic skirt - what could be better for creating the image of a fashionable schoolgirl. Straight skirts were, are and will be the embodiment of femininity and severity. But it can be not only school skirts. For example, a long, straight-cut silk skirt is a great summer option.

Straight skirts are suitable for almost any figure, they favorably emphasize the hips and hide what needs to be hidden.

Vyshyvanka

An embroidered skirt is increasingly appearing on the shelves of clothing stores. Embroidered shirts were worn many years ago, they are considered something patriotic and national. Now skirts with embroidered patterns are becoming relevant again.

Embroidered shirts for girls can be of various lengths, the color range is also quite varied. Embroidered shirts look very stylish, the designers have made every effort so that children's skirts do not turn out to be boring and do not look like a thing from a grandmother's chest.

With ruffles

Ruffle skirts have a lot in common with tiered skirts, but ruffles can be horizontal or vertical. The ruffled skirt looks pretty smart. Which shape will be created with the help of ruffles depends entirely on the imagination of the designer.

If a little fashionista chooses a skirt with frills, then she needs to be careful when choosing tops and accessories. A skirt of this type is a very attractive piece of clothing, so the emphasis should be placed on it and not clutter the image with additional details.

Materials (edit)

The way the skirt looks, is worn and for which event is suitable largely depends on the material from which it is made. For sewing skirts, completely different fabrics can be used, suitable for different seasons of the year.

From tulle

Tulle is widely used for making skirts for children. It is a mesh fabric with increased strength and durability. A tulle skirt will look pretty elegant, creating a light flying image.

A tulle skirt can be suitable for special occasions, parties, prom in kindergarten. The main thing is to choose the appropriate top. A fluffy tulle skirt can be complemented with a light pastel blouse without unnecessary details.

Organza

Organza, like tulle, is a very light airy material. The organza skirt keeps its shape well, looks elegant and festive. Organza can be of different colors, and the range of skirts is very wide.

Despite the fact that organza is often associated with window curtains, skirts made of this material bear little resemblance to them. A girl with an organza skirt in her wardrobe gives the impression of being a romantic person.

Jersey

High-quality knitted fabric has good wear resistance, does not roll, and is easy to clean and iron. A wide range of colors allows you to choose a skirt for any occasion.

Lace

Lace is considered the embodiment of femininity and tenderness. Even the smallest woman loves lace and skirts decorated with it. Lace skirts are a good alternative to a dressy dress.

In the cold season, little women of fashion will definitely appreciate a skirt made of knitted lace. Such a thing will perfectly warm in cold weather, and the girl will remain fashionable and beautiful even in winter.

From footer

Footer is a very soft natural fabric widely used in the manufacture of children's clothing. Footer skirts have many advantages. This fabric is environmentally friendly, warm and durable. In addition, the footer is quite elastic, so it does not lose its shape after washing.

Girls who may have an allergic reaction to certain fabrics should choose skirts made of cotton jersey.

Length

The length of skirts for girls plays an important role in their choice. Length should be considered when preparing for each event or occasion.

Long

Long skirts for girls are not considered the most popular models. Little women are not very fond of long models. In addition, a long skirt may not be very comfortable for an active child.

Long skirts look good on tall girls. Long wrap skirts are good for summer, look great and don't restrict movement.

Mini

From childhood, a woman wants to be attractive to the opposite sex. The miniskirt is a trendy piece of clothing that makes all men turn around. Of course, a short skirt is not suitable for all events.

A miniskirt is an informal type of clothing, suitable for visiting, relaxing walks and parties.

Actual colors

The color of a girl's skirt can greatly affect her mood. In addition, the color should be taken into account when forming a specific image.

Black

Black is one of the main classic colors. It is unlikely that a little imaginary wants to wear a black skirt to a meeting with friends or other informal event.

Children's fluffy skirts are now in great demand and popularity. Little fashionistas in such skirts can fully feel like princesses.

In such clothes, the children are very beautiful, bright and cute. A girl in a voluminous skirt attracts eyes and is in the spotlight, so no young beauty will refuse to have such a skirt in her wardrobe.

Views

Among children's voluminous skirts, the following styles are most popular:

  • Pack. Such a skirt came into the wardrobe of girls and girls not so long ago, having previously served only as clothing for ballerinas. For sewing such a skirt, tulle is used, which is sewn to the belt in several layers. Tutu with several tiers of tulle is also popular. The colors of children's tutu skirts are very different, but pink, white and red models are most in demand.
  • American. This cute naughty skirt is made from the finest nylon material that does not require processing. The material is folded in several tiers and complemented with ruffles, making the product look lush, romantic and delicate. The foreign name for such a skirt is pettiskirt. Bows, flowers, satin ribbons, lace and other elements are used to decorate American skirts.
  • Tutu. To create this kind of tutu skirt, a tulle mesh is used. Such a skirt is often chosen for celebrations, photo shoots and walks. It is very popular with mothers, because you don't even need a sewing machine to create a tutu skirt, since in one of the methods of making it, pieces of tulle are simply tied to a belt.

What to wear with?

Most of the fluffy skirts for children are presented in festive elegant options. T-shirts (both plain and with a pattern), shirts (checkered ones are very popular), T-shirts, corsets, tops, turtlenecks and elegant blouses are worn with such skirts.

Bright monophonic, transparent or white tights are also selected for a fluffy children's skirt. For a walk, tights can be replaced with leggings to match the skirt or in a contrasting color. From jewelry, girls choose fabric headbands with flowers, headbands with bows, discreet jewelry.

How to sew: master class

With ruffles

Prepare for work:

  • One meter of satin. From this fabric we will sew a petticoat and a belt.
  • One meter of tulle. For a fluffy skirt with frills, we need a material 1.5 meters wide.
  • About ten meters of the braid.
  • 50 centimeters of elastic. Its width should be 2.5 cm.
  • Threads to match the future skirt.

For sewing, you need to follow these steps:

  • Fold the tulle in half and mark the strips on it, the width of which will be 16 cm (for the strip itself 15 cm and for an allowance of 1 cm). There should be five strips in total, and each will have a length of 1.5 meters.

Cut the tulle into strips and sew them together to make a piece 7.5 meters long.

  • Trim one edge of the tulle part with a bias tape so that the product keeps its shape.
  • Sew the edges of the tulle strip to make a circle.
  • Make along the edge, which will be sewn to the belt, two lines parallel to each other. The bobbin thread tension should be set to 0.
  • Pull off the sewn-on stitching to obtain an overskirt.

  • Cut out a pattern for the sun-cut lower skirt from the satin. For this, the material is folded in four. The radius of the belt for a girl with a waist of 55 cm will be 20 cm. The length of the skirt is also 20 cm. Do not forget to leave 1 cm at the top and bottom to bend the skirt and sew it to the belt.
  • Fold up the bottom of the satin skirt and sew on it.
  • Cut out a piece for the belt from the satin, which will be a rectangle about 70 cm long and 12 cm wide.
  • Glue the belt with non-woven material.
  • Sew the belt piece to make a circle, leaving about 2.5 cm of the belt unstitched in order to later insert the elastic.

Fasten with pins or bast with threads the lower skirt to the belt, making uniform folds. Attach a tulle skirt in the same way, then sew both skirts to the belt, and then insert an elastic band into the belt.

With ruffles at the bottom

To make such a skirt, you will need:

  • A piece of satin for a belt. Its width will be 12 cm, and its length will be two girths of the girl's waist.
  • Two cuts of the veil with a length of 4 girths. One of them will be designed for the lower skirt, and the second (it will be a little shorter) we will use for the upper skirt. We select the width of the cut depending on the height of the child. We will collect both cuts so that we get parts with a length corresponding to two waist circumferences.
  • One piece of veil for the ruffle of the upper skirt. The length of such a cut will be eight waist circumferences, and the width should be 12 cm. The cut should be tucked in until a piece of four waist circumferences is obtained, which is sewn to the bottom of the upper skirt.
  • A pink sheer ruffle that will be used to trim the frill that is sewn to the top skirt. Its width will be about 5 cm.

Being a mom is not the easiest job, because you also have to become a personal makeup artist, stylist and designer. It often happens that a little fashionista needs to sew a skirt either to school, or to kindergarten, for a walk. If such a request inspires panic, then do not worry, because in order to sew a beautiful skirt for a girl, you do not need to be a first-class designer. It is enough to have imagination and desire.
