Taking measurements: create a fashionable wardrobe item according to the rules

If you have the necessary sewing skills, then for sure you know how to sew a high-waisted pencil skirt. Many girls prefer to create basic elements of their wardrobe on their own. This is primarily due to the exclusivity of the new thing. Before we consider a detailed master class, I would like to pay special attention to the main aspects of taking measurements, because the appearance of the finished product depends on it.

As you know, the construction of the pattern always begins with the removal of measurements. When performing such a procedure, consider the following features:

• we measure the waist girth by putting the measuring tape against the body;
• the girth of the hips is measured by protruding points;
• the length of the product in front, behind and on the side is measured from the waistline to the floor;
• the length of the finished product is determined according to growth (on average, this parameter is 75 cm).

After removing the measurements, the pattern of a high-waisted pencil skirt is necessarily built. For this we need to draw a basic grid, which consists of horizontal and vertical lines. The first lines show the parameters of the waist, hips and bottom of the skirt, and the second - the side seams.

Next, we transfer the remaining parameters to the paper, not forgetting to leave the seam allowances, tuck. To sew a pencil skirt, you must make a narrowing at the bottom and add about 4-5 cm for a single cut belt.
