Hoe maak je een rok met een elastische taille?

Stretchable elastic waistbands are a common feature of many apparels, including skirts, jeans, and pants. They mix both function and comfort. Since they provide considerable ease at the waist, skirts with elastic waists are quite comfortable to wear. A skirt with an elastic waist is the ideal sewing project for beginners. You can create a lovely skirt with an elastic waist in about an hour if you follow our detailed directions throughout this post.

Supplies

• Stof: The best fabric for making skirts is cotton, although you can choose any type of fabric you want like rayon, blends, or linen.
• Lining Fabric: It is required if your fabric is transparent.
• Elastisch: Use a good-quality wide elastic (Check out our post https://sewinginsight.com/sewing-101/types-of-elastic-for-sewing/ for additional information on particular sewing-related elastics).
• Draad: The color of thread should be identical to the fabric’s color.
• Naald: The type of needle will depend on the fabric type; delicate light-weight needle for lighter fabric and heavy-duty needle for heavier fabric.
• Measuring Tape.
• Sewing Pins.
• Schaar.
• Iron.

Fabric measurement

• Measure your waist

Measure your waist with a measuring tape to find out how much fabric you’ll need. Measure according to whether you want the skirt to sit high, in the middle, or below the waist.
Then, multiply that number by 1.5 for your waist measurement. As an illustration, if your waist is 30 inches, your fabric’s width needs to be 45 inches. Add two to your measurement to have greater volume in your skirt.

• Measure your length

Wherever you want your skirt to end, hold the measuring tape vertically from your waist to your leveled legs. Increase this number by 1.5 inches for the hem allowance.

Lining Fabric measurement

From your lining, cut 2 pieces that are identical in size to your skirt panels, but are 3 to 4 inches shorter overall.

Fabric for pockets measurement

Either the skirt’s main fabric or the lining fabric should be used to cut out 4 equal-sized pocket patterns. The size of the pocket you cut will entirely depend on how large or small you desire the pocket to be.

Elastic measurement

Subtract 1 inch from your waist measurement (the original measurement though, not the multiplied one). You’ll need elastic that is this length.

The below steps will walk you through every step of creating an elastic waist skirt with pockets, making it a fairly simple project to do. If you have the ability to sew straight lines, you should try this project.

• When the pockets and skirt panels are all cut, pin the pockets six inches from the top of each skirt panel, right sides together, with the pocket slanting downward. Execute this on both skirt panels.
• Using a 1/4 inch seam, stitch pockets to the fabric. In order for the pockets to be on the outside, iron the seam.
• Only one side of the skirt panels should have pins with the right sides together and the pockets on the outside. Ensure while sewing that you move around the pocket, following its curve.
• On just that one side, sew a seam of 1/2 inch. Opening it up should reveal a finished single pocket and a single long skirt panel.
• Place the skirt panel with the right side down. Fold the fabric down 1/4 inch and iron it onto the top of the skirt panel. Your rough edge will become enclosed into your casing as you iron.
• To finish, iron the second fold, which measures 2 1/2 inches. Your elastic will be housed in this. Make sure you add an extra 1/2 inch to the width of your elastic if it is not 2 inches wide before ironing it down at that length.
• Unfold the lining fabric after it has been pressed and place it on top of the skirt panel. You want the wrong side of your skirt panel to be on the right side of the lining. Align the top of the lining with the 2 1/2-inch line you just ironed on the skirt panel.
• The top of the skirt panel should be folded again at the 2 1/2 inch line. Check to see that the 1/4-inch seam is still folded under. This will contain your raw edge.
• Closely stitch the bottom. This simultaneously creates your elastic casing and connects your liner.
• Flip the lining over the skirt panel and then fold the skirt panel in half with the right sides together.
• At the same time that you pin the pockets together, pin the skirt panels together along the last side, following the curve.
• Next, secure your lining pieces with pins. While sewing and pinning, turn the lining above the fabric to make sure the seam of the lining goes between the fabric and lining of the skirt, where it won’t be seen.
• Once more, sew the skirt panels with a seam of 1/2 inch, following the contour of the pockets. Then, use a 1/2 inch seam to stitch the lining pieces together. When sewing the skirt panels and the lining, be careful to stop at the casing to provide room for the elastic.
• The lining should be tucked inside the skirt after turning it right side out. It’s time to put the elastic in the casing at this point. In order to feed it through the casing, be sure to pin a safety pin on the end.
• As you insert the elastic into the casing, gather the fabric around it to help it enter completely.
• To prevent losing the opposite side of the elastic in the casing when you pull it through and position it, the other side should be pinned to the casing’s edge.
• Sew the elastic ends together once it has been pulled through. To ensure that it remains together, stitch and backstitch a few times.
• Next, place the raw edge of the aperture in the casing before sewing it shut.
• The final step is that your skirt’s and lining’s bottoms should be hemmed to the appropriate length. Use an elastic thread in the bobbin of your naaimachine and a standard thread on top to accomplish that. After that, sew a straight stitch down the center of the waistline, pulling the elastic tightly as you go.
• Finally, you’re done. If you’ve come up to this point so far, then we are pretty sure you’ve created a great skirt for you with an elastic waistband.

Samenvatting

There are many advantages to wearing skirts with elastic waistbands. First of all, they provide a great, cozy fit that conforms to your body and makes you feel comfortable. Additionally, they are simpler to put on and remove. Additionally, they enable a nice fit, which can make your body shape appear more slender.
Elastic waistbands also have the benefit of not limiting blood flow to your waist. Too-tight skirts can limit blood flow in women and cause discomfort. Therefore, choosing skirts with elastic waistbands is preferable.
Therefore, if you want to make an elastic waist skirt rather than purchase an expensive one from the market, this guide will undoubtedly be useful for you. We hope you enjoyed this article and share your skirt sewing experience with us in the comments section below.
