MS TUTORIAL: HOW TO CUT A STRAIGHT SKIRT







Note by Evelyn Umeh

TO SEW A SKIRT.
First step is to take the waist, hips and length measurement.

The length should be from the waist to either below or above your knee. Depending on how long or how short you want it.

Get your fabric, tape rule, chalk, ruler and scissors ready.

Get at least 1 and half or 2 yards fabric.
Fold the fabric into 4

Use your hips measurement divided by 4 to fold your fabric.



Leave 2 inches for zip allowance.
2 inches for seam allowance
1 inch for hemming.

Measure your waist from the right side of the fabric. Your waist divided by 4 + 2 inches seam allowance + 1 inch for dart.

To get your hips, measure 9 inches (standard) from the waist. Divide your hips by 4 and add 2 inches seam allowance.

Take the skirt length from the waist down to your desired length

As a fashion tutor, the first time I worked as a private tutor was an amazing experience. I traveled, expense paid trip, free accommodation for a month and was well welcomed, why won't I be so motivated to train this private student so well. That was sometime this year, I would share pictures soon, on another day😋. This private student is married and has a part time job, got kids. She was on one month break and decided to make use of the break to acquire the sewing skill.

The experience has been the darkest moment of my life. I was on my way back from school when I was raped. Usually, after school, I walk home with friends then my friends would reach home before me.
