Full circumference skirt (disco skirt)
Needed:
150 centimeters of cotton poplin 150 centimeters wide
Measurements of the skirt:
Waist: 70 cm
Increase for shirring: 140 to 180 cm waist
Finished waist: 50 cm
Long skirt: 39 cm
Waistband width: 10 cm
Fold the piece of fabric in four equal parts
The vertex where all the bends coincide will be POINT 1. From there we will take the measurements of: Radius 1 (R1) Waist contour; Radio 2 (R2) Waist outline + skirt length
Tie a cord to a tailor's pencil, which we will use as a compass
Mark the measurement of the Waist Radius starting from the end where the pencil is. Waistline x 2.5 for puckering = Total waist / 6.8 = Radius 1 (R1)
Point 1
Attach the cord with adhesive tape to the table just above Point 1 with the measure R1
Keeping the pencil completely perpendicular to the fabric and the stretched cord, draw a dotted line.
Repeat the above process with measure R2
Cut by the waist line leaving 1 cm for seam allowance
Cut by line R2 leaving between 2 and 4 cm of seam allowance according to the model of your skirt
So we get the sewing pattern of the skirt in one piece, like a big donut 🍩
If your measurements are larger than this skirt, then draw on paper the sewing pattern, take it to the store and ask for help to calculate the necessary fabric.
For the waistband we will cut a piece of fabric that measures length around the perimeter of R1 and width
To adjust the waistband to waist we will use the technique of gathering with strips of elastic yarn
Stitch together the short sides of the waistband. Iron open seams. Fold longitudinally and mark the fold with the iron.
With a tailor's pencil draw by the right side of the folded waistband, several parallel lines
beginning the first one to 1 cm from the folded edge and the following ones to 1.5 cm of distance between each one, 8 in total.
The latter will be at 1 cm from the bottom and will be the seam allowance.

With scissors, mark the fourth part of the waistband, and do the same with the skirt

Wind the bobbin of the sewing machine with elastic thread without stretching
Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case as usual
The upper thread is polyester or cotton, we will only use elastic on the bobbin
Adjust the tension of the sewing machine between 4 and 5 (test on a piece of the same fabric)
Select the longest stitch
Start the seam to gather just above the seam. Leave pieces of thread 10 cm at the beginning and end of each row
While advancing the sewing stretch the fabric to avoid mistakes
Notice that at the beginning and at the end of each row the stitches pass 1 cm very close to each other without touching each other
Because we used the double cloth, the thread did not wrinkle enough, the waist was 75 cm, we must reduce it to 50 cm.
With patience, we stretch the ends of the elastic threads until reaching the desired measurement
Stretch each pair of threads and as you tense distribute the shirring to achieve a symmetrical finish
Please comment if the English translation has been satisfactory and if necessary suggest the corrections.
Little by little I will be doing the English subtitles of all my videos, if you have seen one that interests you let me know to give it priority.
To prevent the seams from unstitching, pass the upper thread towards the back of the waistband and knot with the elastic thread
Make several knots alternating threads to prevent them from falling apart with the use
Introduce the waistband in the skirt facing the rights, matching the margins of sewing and the marks of the fourth parts of both

We fix with pins
Even with elastic thread on the bobbin, we stitch together both pieces, stretching as we sew
Overcast the seam allowance
Apply steam to the iron on the puck without ironing. The steam will make the elastic recover its shape after being stretched
For the right side of the skirt sew tape to the bias at the hem
As you sew, adapt the tape to the curve.
Iron the seam towards the bias tape
Turn the ribbon of bias towards the back of the skirt and iron by throwing in 2 mm of the fabric of the skirt
With hidden stitches by hand sew the ribbon of bias to the skirt
My precarious vision is topo🤣🤓
