tiered maxi skirt tutorial (+ thrift haul!)

IYKYK. I've wanted a skirt like this for awhile. I think she turned out perfectly!
The fabric I used was thrifted. I would guess to make a skirt of your own, you'd need a twin or queen sized top sheet (or 8-9 yards of fabric). You also need 1" elastic

Hey just an idea, it looks like your sewing machine likes to fight with you while sewing 💔 Get a silicone- nonstick mat for cooking and place it under, I think that'll really help! Not that you asked, don't mind me trying to be helpful 🙈

@Mindfulmae 3 ай бұрын

I love that idea! That’s so helpful! My machine does like to move away from me while I’m sewing 😅 probably because it’s made of plastic. Thank you Emily!

I never really cared much about this kind of maxi skirt, but watching you make one and turn out so cute made me want to have one too!! but thinking about that much hemming and gathering is intimidating

@Mindfulmae 7 ай бұрын

I had never liked them before either, but now I love the tiered style! You should go for it; the gathering is a bit intimidating, but you can just watch a show while you do it and be sure to take your time! ;)

Is it okay to make the circles in halves? Like to make the most of the fabric i have i would like to cut each tier half half and then sew to make the circle. Sorry if i didnt explain myself well, english is not my first language. Thank you for the tutorial!

@Mindfulmae Ай бұрын

Absolutely! If I understand right, you need to sew some shorter rectangles together to get the correct width for each tier? You can totally do that!

@forgotmyhomework5956 Ай бұрын

@@Mindfulmae Exactly! Thank you so much for the answer!

@sierraconway-7755 Ай бұрын

Can I use my widest hip/butt measurement instead of my waist? A common problem with skirts and dresses for me is that the waist fits, but the skirt looks oddly fitted at my butt. Thanks! 😊

@Mindfulmae Ай бұрын

I think you could! It would just be more fabric to gather when inserting the elastic, but it makes for a fuller looking skirt, which is lovely!
