Getting ready for the summer, I decided to sew myself a new skirt, I want something light, airy, so that I can wear it under a T-shirt or a tank top. The universal style of a culotte skirt with wide legs is the best fit. It looks very elegant and slims the figure. In such a model, you can take a walk, go to the cinema or visit. The official name of this item is "culottes". A soft draping material with a width of 1.50 m is well suited for sewing. I chose an easy-to-make model for myself, you can do it in an hour. For sewing, you need a square piece of fabric 1.50x1.50. This model will fit up to size 54. If your size is larger, you can sew the same way, but make small changes. Lower the waistline lower, due to which the length of the product will be shorter. This can be fixed by sewing wide lace at the bottom or taking more fabric. How to sew: 1) Fold the piece diagonally. The pattern is made directly on the fabric according to the diagram. From the corner on the right and left, set aside 8 and 10 cm and draw lines down. From the intersection point, set aside 30 cm twice, then see the diagram. 2) Sew the parts with rounded corners, overcast. 3) On the side where 8 cm needs to be cut off a little fabric, the width of two fingers or 2-3 cm. This part is the front, and it will be slightly lower than the back. 4) Now unfold the skirt, aligning the seams. The open cuts will be between the legs, sew them together and overcast. Turn the product inside out, and here are the skirt-pants in all their glory. 5) For the belt, cut out a strip 9 cm wide, sew it into a circle and fold in half. Sew to the waist. Thread a wide elastic band inside. 6) You can sew two belts on the sides and tie them in a bow at the front. 7) It remains to process the bottom of the wide legs. I folded the fabric by 1 cm and stitched it with a frequent zigzag. I cut off the excess. When you put this thing on, it is almost impossible to see that these are wide trousers. The fabric lies in waves and looks like a flared skirt. All the best to you!
