Do you need a short petticoat with a bit of in-built structure? Then this is the tutorial for you! Join me as I show you how to make a petticoat with an inbuilt hoop.
What you'll need:
Tape Measure
Lining fabric
Scissors
Matching thread
Pins
Wide Elastic - I’m using 4cm or 1.5 inch elastic
Metal boning
Wire cutters
5 meters of 150cm organza or tulle - 5.5 yards of 59 inch fabric
Sewing machine
And if you are using organza, an overlocker will come in handy
(Plus, an iron and marker will come in handy!)
If you wish to make the same petticoat as this one, the measurements for my Short Hooped Petticoat are as follows:
Base lining/ hoop skirt fabric: 50cm by 2.03 meters (including seam allowance), or 19.5inches by 2.2 yards
Boning: 1cm wide boning cut at 210cm or 2.3 yards (this includes a 10cm or 4 inch overlap)
Top section: 2 lots of 42cm x 2.03 meters (including seam allowance) or 16.5 inches by 2.2 yards
Bottom section: 4 lots of 21cm x 5 meters (including seam allowance) or 8.5 inches by 5.5 yards.
