Then cut carefully around the edge of the pattern. Sew the pieces together. Sew the front and back pieces together on the right and left edges. Sew evenly along the edges with a simple stitch. This is a good point to carefully try on the skirt you can keep it inside out. If it needs to be smaller at any point, take it in by stitching parallel to the inside of your previous line of stitching.
Make the hem. Fold over a half inch of the fabric at the bottom of the skirt and sew the hem using a hemming stitch. Make an elastic or zipper top. If you buy a pattern with an elastic waist or room for a zipper, you will need to sew that next. Place your piece of elastic at the inside top edge of your skirt and stitch the two ends of the elastic together. Then fold that top edge of the fabric down, so that the elastic is encased in fabric.
Method 2. Then you will need a measuring tape and washable marker, a pair of sharp scissors, a needle, thread, and pins. Note that different materials are harder to cut and sew. Find thread that matches the most prominent color in your skirt so that it blends into the fabric. Measure how long you want your mini skirt to be. A common school guideline and a generally good rule is to have the skirt end at least where your longest finger reaches when you have your arms straight down by your sides.
Or, grab another mini skirt you like and measure the length. Use the tape measure to find these measurements and mark them on the skirt with your marker. Add another half an inch to your measurement. This accounts for the hemming that you will complete later. When in doubt, cut less. You can hem it up to exactly the right length afterwards. Cut carefully. To help you cut straight, make several measurement marks as you did in the previous step all the way around the skirt to ensure that it will be the same length everywhere.
The answer is never straight forward. A mini skirt will finish somewhere mid thigh — the length of it ranging from 11 inches to 17 inches. The length cannot be constant as the appropriate length will depend on the height of the person wearing it. For short women a 17 inch mini skirt would be a regular skirt.
A good rule of thumb is to count inches above the knees. When did it all start — the History of a Mini Skirt. Wearing short skirts is not a modern phenomenon. As early as the 5th century mini skirts were seen to be worn by women. But in the modern fashion history, for a long time, long skirts were the norm.
Women were demure and dependent. They wore what the fashion dictated and that was long dresses, gowns and skirts. The British designer Mary Quant chose to move away from the course set by the Paris fashion houses and started to sell short skirts. The skirt was named after her car — the Mini. Draw up your pattern on paper.
If you do not have paper large enough, join A4 sheets together with tape like I have. STEP 2. F old your fabric in half and cut 2 panels, the front and back. Your back panel of the skirt should be 1cm larger on each side seam. This is to allow extra fabric for the zipper to be inserted. STEP 3. Fold the back panel piece in half and cut from the bottom seam to the top.
This is to put your zipper in. STEP 4. On the back panel pieces, on the middle cut that you just made, fold the fabric backwards to create a fake-looking seam.
Iron the fabric flat. STEP 5. Measure how low the zipper will go down the back of your skirt and mark it on the cut middle seam. Pin the back seam together with the print facing each other.
