Sew with a 1/2″ seam allowance for all seams unless otherwise specified.
Pattern Pieces & Fabric Cuts Needed
(A) SKIRT
- Tulle – Cut 2
- Lining – Cut 2
(B) RUFFLES
The Roslyn Ruffled Midi Skirt has 7 ruffles on the front, 7 ruffles on the back, and one on each side seam.
You can add more ruffles to your midi skirt, as desired. To add more ruffles, divide the top edge of the skirt piece by the number of ruffles you want, and mark the points. Do the same with the bottom edge or the skirt, then connect the points to draw the ruffle placement lines.
5 Tips for Sewing with Tulle and Chiffon
⇒ Baste by hand before sewing on the machine. Both Tulle and Chiffon are delicate fabrics that can slide or snag as you sew.
⇒ Experiment with a longer stitch length or narrow zig zag stitch to help prevent puckering and provide more flexibility.
⇒ Instead of backstitching, secure the beginning and end of your seam by tying a knot or hand-tying the threads. Backstitching can create bulk and distortion.
⇒ When possible, we highly recommended using a rotary cutter and self-healing mat for clean, precise cuts as well as to prevent distortion that can happen with scissors.
⇒ Placing tissue paper, newspaper, or water-soluble stabilizer underneath and/or on top of tulle or chiffon can help prevent it from shifting, stretching, or getting “eaten” by the feed dogs. These materials can be carefully torn away after sewing.
