 Hello everyone, this is LaModelies and welcome back again to my YouTube channel. For today's tutorial, I will demonstrate the pattern making and sewing for the tiered or gypsy skirt. Gypsy skirt is so popular in the Philippines and other tropical countries because it is one of the best skirts to wear especially if it's really really hot. In a way to learn the pattern making and sewing technique for tiered or gypsy skirt, make it sure to continue on watching this tutorial to see the detailed step-by-step processes. To start off, we must get the required measurements for this skirt. First, get your desired skirt length and record. Next, get your full waist circumference or measurement and record. If you have decided how long the skirt is, divide the skirt length by three creating three sections. You can also divide the skirt length by four, five and so on but for this tutorial, I will divide the skirt length by three. Basically, this is how it will look like on your pattern. For tier A, multiply the full waist measurement times two. Again, you can also multiply the waist times three or four according to your liking. And lastly, for tier C, multiply tier B times two. Since the tiers are so big and long, I will cut these patterns unfold. And I also want to make sure that the measurements here are from my truss form so please use your own measurements for this one. For tier B, multiply tier A times two. And long, I will cut these patterns unfold. And I also gave each pattern my desired sewing allowances. For tier C, I will cut this times two on my fabric and attach them together later making one whole tier. And these are the tiers for the skirt. Tears A and B will be cut unfold and tier C will be cut twice. First, I will cut tiers A and B on my chosen fabric. And next, I will cut tier C twice. So these are the tiers cut on the fabric. I will put tiers A and C aside and work on tier B first. For gathering, I will use this T50 footer to help me gather the tiers. Before I gather, I've marked one inch from the seam and I'll do this end to end. And I will start gathering from this one inch mark, ending the gathering before the one inch mark on the other end. And this is the gathered tier B. Next I will attach tier B to tier A. Pin tier B to tier A in place before sewing. And next sew according to your sewing allowance. Next, push all of the allowance to the tier A side and press tier A. And topstitch tier A by two-eighths of an inch or 0.6 centimeter. And this is tiers A and B sewn together. Next, I will gather tier C. If ever you are wondering, tier C is cut twice and I attached it together. Again, before sewing, I've marked one inch at the seam and I'll do this end to end. I will start gathering from this mark and end the gathering at the other side. And this is the gathered tier C. Next I will attach tier C to tier B. And pin tier C in place before sewing. Next sew tier C to tier B. And just like tier A, I sent all of this sewing allowance to tier B and pressed everything. After pressing I've topstitched tier B by two-eighths of an inch or 0.6 centimeter. And these are all the tiers attached together. Next I will mark in 1.48 inches or 3.8 centimeters at the waist. This will be the casing for the garter at the waist. Next I will fold this line and press. And I will sew this fold by two-eighths of an inch or 0.6 centimeters from the edge creating a casing for the garter. Next, for the garter, get your full waist circumference and subtract 3 inches or 7.5 centimeters. And next I will use my bodkin tool to insert the garter inside the casing. For the garter, I will pin this exactly at the opening of the casing and do the same thing on the other side of the casing opening. And sew the garter at the opening to close it and do this each side. And next I will sew the seam to complete the skirt. Next I will open the seam and topstitch at the garter edge. And this is the seam for the skirt. Press this as well for a clean finish. For the garter at the waist, I will topstitch this. For the hem, I will fold and sew this. For the hem, I simply fold this twice and topstitch this by two-eighths of an inch or 0.6 centimeters. And lastly, I topstitch the garter at the waist by four-eighths of an inch or 1.3 centimeters from the edge. Et voila! So this is the tiered or gypsy skirt. This kind of skirt is perfect for summer vacations or getaways. You can also apply this technique for petticoat making or for your other skirt garments. By the way, you can add more tiers and gathers according to your liking. Anyway guys, I hope this tutorial gave you enough tips on how to create your own tiered or gypsy skirt.
