Hello, how are you? I hope so, today we are going to get out of the lingerie and we are going to make a skirt with buttons ...This time I bring you from size 36 to 56, with their respective colors, I made size 36.
I drew it on three separate sheets so it could be seen well.
In the rear I forgot to put the sizes, I only put size 36, but it would be the same colors for each size as it is in the Front. What's more, the measurements are in place.
All measurements in blue pen are not modified, this means that in all sizes it is the same average. And either in the Front, Rear and Internal View.
Remember to add 1.0 cm of seam allowance, as seen in the photo. In this case, bend the mold a little so that it does not come out so curved or with "evase".
Once they cut everything: 2 front, 1 rear, 2 front inside sights, and 1 rear. They will sew the darts on the back. As seen in the image.
Then they sew the front ones together with the back.
They should fold the edges where the buttons and buttonholes will go, in this case I added a strip of about 5.0 cm, sewed it at about 0.5 cm and then folded it inwards, as seen in the image.
Separately, sew the front inside views to the back.
Secure the internal view with an overlock, if you don't have one, you can also do it with a simple zigzag.
When we finish securing the internal view, we have to sew it to the skirt. Facing the right sides of the fabric, we sew the internal view to the skirt, then we turn it over and secure it. In the image you can see how it is once sewn. Also at the edges, you have to enter it a few cm.
This is how it has to be on the edges.
To measure the distance between button and button, what you have to do is from the first button, mark about 8.0 cm. In this case, the distance between the first and second is less, but only for a decorative reason, the others are 8.0 cm.
For the buttonholes, you have to mark exactly the same distance that was used for the buttons.
For the measurement to be correct, put a button on the mark where the buttonhole would go and mark the diameter of it.
Once done, you just have to open them, very carefully, use a scissors, a cutter or a button puller and go testing how the button enters, if they see that they lack space, they open it more.
Although I sewed it with an overlock, I also secured the seams with a straight. If you do not have an overlock, secure each side with a zigzag and then join with a straight. Finally, just make the roll and voila, you already have a skirt with buttons.
