As I wear a lot of dress, a lot of skirt, for me this idea was very cool,
so I want to pass this knowledge on to you!
And this tip holds true for those dresses you've ever had to wear,
as well as for a dress that is large or small on the top,
but that the bottom, the skirt wears very well.
So it pays more to cut off this dress, and stick with the skirt,
than leaving the dress in the closet unused.
So I'm going to show you the transformation of that dress.
I really liked this dress when I saw it in the store,
and already bought thinking of doing some customization ...
'Cause that top part, it got too big for me ...
"The madwoman who goes out buying everything that is not good!" -
So I'm going to cut, I'm going to make a skirt.
I think this skirt will look very pretty.
Then you will see the transformation of this dress and another one then, are two ideas.
Now follow the step by step that is very easy to do!
To make the first skirt model, I wore this low-cut dress with swimmer's back,
but you can use this idea to make in any type of dress.
The first step is to stretch the dress on the table,
and measure how long you will want your skirt.
I used a seam chalk to mark where to cut,
but you can use a pen, or you can put a skirt on top and cut straight as well.
But remember to leave 3 centimeters more than you want to do the finish.
After marking everything, use a ruler to trace and then just cut with the scissors.
(I.e.
Now let's make the waistband that will be elastic.
Make a 3-inch fold and place pins.
Then, if you prefer, tinker all around.
I threaded it because my fabric was too thin and hard to work with.
After that, let's go to the sewing machine!
Let's put a seam on the underside of the fold we made.
You can do all the sewing by hand or in the sewing machine.
In the machine is much faster and practical.
The seam will look like this.
Now also make a seam on the top.
It's going to be like this ...
And finally, we will also pass a seam in the middle of the waistband.
So that waistband will have 3 seams like that.
Now take a cutting point or scissors
and dismantle the side of the skirt between two seams we made,
Let's make a hole in it where we're going to pass the rubber band.
(I.e.
Take the elastic and attach a pin to the tip.
But do not cut the rubber band yet, okay?
Take the pin and go through the hole.
Go through it through the seam and go pulling ...
(I.e.
Pull it all the way around until it comes out of the hole.
Go tucking the elastic until it is the size of your waist,
(I.e.
and then just cut, and fasten the two ends of the elastic giving a few stitches.
(I.e.
And to finish, you should stick the elastic in that slanted part
and give a pull on the fabric.
And you do not even have to sew this fake,
because it will not show up, only if you really want to.
And there it is .. A skirt made with dress! That you do very fast !!
(I.e.
For the second idea, I'm going to wear another dress that was very low-cut on me,
and it looks like the first, but it has those sidebars here.
And this dress we will not cut.
As it was done in parts,
we will use the cutting point to separate the top part from the bottom.
Put the dress inside out
and then go undoing all the seam of the dress that splices one part in the other.
(I.e.
After separating the parts, let's make the waistband.
Fold and mark with pins.
Then just sew on the machine or by hand, a simple seam.
And people are just that! Look how easy!
As it has these side bands, they will serve to tie and hold the skirt,
since it has no elastic and no zipper.
And it was beautiful with this mooring, was not it?
(I.e.
Write there in the comments which of these two skirts I taught here you liked
and if you've ever done something like that in your house, okay?
If you liked, remember to give your like
and your comment here, that I love answering your comment!
And share this video with your friends who like to do customization!
Well, that's it! A kiss and until the next video!
