Introduction
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a tennis skirt. This skirt is very easy to make and can be made in any size. You will need a piece of fabric that is 18 inches wide and 36 inches long. Fold the fabric in half widthwise and then sew the sides together. Next, Sew the bottom of the skirt to the waistband. Finally, add an elastic waistband and you’re done!
What You Will Need
-Tennis skirt
-Tutu
-Scissors
-Elastic waistband
-Needle and thread or a sewing machine
Instructions:
1.Start with a tennis skirt that is already hemmed. If not, hem the skirt to the desired length.
2.Cut the tulle to the same length as the tennis skirt. You will need enough tulle to go around the circumference of the skirt plus an extra 6 inches.
3.Fold the tulle in half and then in half again so that you have a strip that is approximately 4 inches wide and twice the length of the circumference of the skirt plus 12 inches.
Step One – Cutting The Skirt
Cut a semi-circle out of the fabric. The radius of the semi-circle should be equal to half the desired length of the skirt plus 1 inch (for seam allowance). The length of the straight edge should be equal to the desired waist circumference plus 1 inch (for seam allowance).
Step Two – Adding The Waistband
After you have gathered your supplies, it is time to start creating your new tennis skirt. The first step is to create the waistband for your skirt. To do this, you will need to measure out a length of elastic that will fit comfortably around your waist. Once you have measured the elastic, cut it to size and then sew the ends together to create a loop.
Next, take your fabric and fold it in half lengthwise. Pin the raw edges of the fabric together and then sew them together using a straight stitch. Once you have sewn the fabric together, turn it right side out so that the seam is now on the inside.
Now, take your waistband and pin it to the top raw edge of the fabric skirt. Sew the waistband in place using a zig-zag stitch or serger. Be sure to stretch the elastic as you sew so that it does not bunch up on itself.
Step Three – Adding The Trim
The next step is to add the trim to the skirt. You will need to measure how much trim you need and then cut it to size. Once you have the trim cut to size, you will need to sew it onto the skirt. You can do this by hand or with a sewing machine. If you are using a sewing machine, you will need to set it to a straight stitch. Start at the top of the skirt and sew the trim onto the skirt. Make sure that you Sew slowly so that you do not make any mistakes. Once you reach the end of the trim, knot the thread and cut it off.
Step Four – Adding The Lining
To add the lining, first cut a piece of fabric that is the same shape and size as the skirt. Then, pin the lining to the skirt, right sides together. Sew around the entire edge of the skirt, leaving a small opening at the waist. Trim any excess fabric and turn the skirt right side out. Finally, hand-sew the opening closed.
