Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.00,0:00:06.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello! Welcome to Make Thrift Buy, episode\Nnumber 27!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.10,0:00:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as always, this is the show where you,\Nthe audience, send me in pictures of cool
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.62,0:00:12.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things you’ve seen on the internet, and\Nthen I do my best to recreate them.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.97,0:00:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So today’s challenge was sent in by both\NCheese and Apple.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.37,0:00:20.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Seriously?\NEither, that's a weird coincidence, or...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.09,0:00:23.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've now got sentient food subscribed to my\Nyoutube channel...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.70,0:00:27.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, a cheese and an apple wanted me to\Ntry and recreate this skirt.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.07,0:00:31.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which I found on a couple of cheap wholesale\Nsites from $13 - $30.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.13,0:00:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So – let’s begin!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.40,0:00:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I had this theory that this skirt was\Njust a square circle skirt. Okay that didn’t
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.79,0:00:41.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really make any sense at all, because how\Ncan you have a square circle
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.63,0:00:43.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– but stick with me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.03,0:00:48.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First off I chose my fabric. This is a non-stretchy\Ntartan fabric that I got for free. Well, it's
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.21,0:00:51.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,secondhand. When people know that you’re\Ninto sewing, it turns out there’s a lot
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.32,0:00:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of people who have fabric they don’t need\Nanymore stashed away in their basements.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.00,0:00:59.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I wanted the shortest part of my skirt\Nto be approximately 15 inches long, so I cut
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.43,0:01:05.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out a square that was 40 by 40 inches.\NThen, I simply folded this material in half,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.23,0:01:12.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,folded it in half again… so that I had this.\NThen I took my waist measurement – 30 inches
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.54,0:01:18.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– and I divided this by 6.28.\NThis gave me approximately 4.7 inches. So,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.25,0:01:23.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I drew a quarter circle with a radius of 4.7\Ninches onto this corner of the fabric, using
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.42,0:01:28.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some chalk.\NThen, I cut this quarter circle out, cutting
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.74,0:01:30.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through all layers of fabric.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.08,0:01:33.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then unfolded the fabric, and I have this!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.54,0:01:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I tried the skirt on for size and for\Nsome reason... this happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.14,0:01:41.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I know that my circle skirt maths are\Nright, so, at first I thought this was all
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.85,0:01:45.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my fault – that it was due to the fact that\NI didn’t put any pins in the fabric here,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.43,0:01:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then cut this circle out pretty haphazardly…
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.52,0:01:52.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BUT WAIT GUYS – NO – IT’S NOT MY FAULT\Nbecause then I actually read on this website
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.21,0:01:55.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it’s the fabric’s fault, due to something\Ncalled “bias”.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.61,0:02:00.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is, bascially, how your fabric stretches\Ndiagonally. And according to this website,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.26,0:02:04.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cutting on the bias will cause your fabric\Nto stretch. So they actually recommend taking
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.61,0:02:08.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4 inches off your waist measurement and THEN\Ncalculating your circle radius!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.50,0:02:11.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I should actually use a 26 inch waist\Nmeasurement.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.44,0:02:15.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, now I know that for the future. But\Nunfortunately, I’ve already cut out my fabric
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.88,0:02:17.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,IN THE PAST.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.42,0:02:21.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, never fear, I haven’t ruined my fabric,\Nbecause this is totally fixable – and let
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.43,0:02:22.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me show you how I fix it!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.89,0:02:28.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I cut straight up here - which I was intending\Nto do anyway - and then I folded the raw edges...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.88,0:02:37.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over until the circle’s circumference is\Nabout 30 inches, which is my waist measurement!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.15,0:02:41.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I put a mark on these two points, pinned\Nthese extra pieces out of the way, and then
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.51,0:02:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I continued!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.71,0:02:47.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At this point, I also hemmed the bottom of\Nthe skirt. First, I overlocked all the edges,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.91,0:02:51.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I folded the edges over about 1/2 an\Ninch, and then I sewed over the top using
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.68,0:02:56.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a straight stitch. Now I know that not everyone\Nhas an overlocker machine, so if you do want
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.09,0:02:59.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try out this project then check out this\Nvideo here, which gives you 3 different ways
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.71,0:03:00.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to hem a skirt!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.82,0:03:03.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next step is to cut out my waistband.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.14,0:03:07.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I cut out a rectangle of fabric that is 4\Ninches wide, and my waist measurement, plus
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.88,0:03:09.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2-3 inches, long.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.51,0:03:14.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today, I’m making a cheat’s version of\Na waistband.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.01,0:03:19.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With the wrong side of the waistband facing\NUP, I fold it over in half length-ways. Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.34,0:03:21.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the right side of the waistband is on the\Noutside.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.61,0:03:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I simply sew, using a straight stitch,\Ndown this edge.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.48,0:03:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now to attach the waistband to the skirt - with\Nthe skirt right-side up, I line the sewn edge
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.32,0:03:43.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the waistband up with the raw edge of the\Nwaist.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.23,0:03:48.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I sew the two pieces together like this.\NAnd I’m going to be sewing directly over
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.60,0:03:54.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the top of the stitches that I made when I\Nconstructed the waistband.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.47,0:03:58.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also make sure that I unfold those folded-over\Nedges on, that I made earlier to resize the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.97,0:04:00.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,skirt, before sewing over the top of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.50,0:04:05.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then go over these stitches again with my\Noverlocker to make it look neater on the inside,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.11,0:04:09.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but again, this is not a necessary step if\Nyou don’t own one of these.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.14,0:04:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I unfold the waistband and... this is\Nwhat it looks like attached to the top of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.50,0:04:15.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the skirt.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.27,0:04:20.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I fold the skirt in half, right sides\Ntogether, so that the two un-sewn edges of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.78,0:04:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the skirt line up.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.02,0:04:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And now I'm going to insert my zipper!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.03,0:04:28.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I grab my zipper, which is about 6 inches\Nlong, line it up with the skirt (with the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.35,0:04:33.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,waistband at the top) and now I’m going\Nto sew basting stitches from here to here,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.22,0:04:37.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and NORMAL length, straight stitches, with\Na backstitch, from here to here.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.59,0:04:42.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After sewing the skirt back together into\Na loop, I press the seam open. Then I lay
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.27,0:04:46.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my zipper down on top of the seam, so that\Nthe teeth of the zipper match up exactly with
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.61,0:04:47.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the seam.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.39,0:04:54.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I’m going to sew the zipper onto\Nthe skirt like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.23,0:04:58.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It helps, when you're inserting a zipper,\Nto use a zipper foot, but if you don’t have
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.49,0:05:03.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one, then you can carefully use a normal sewing\Nfoot or even hand-stitch it in.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.58,0:05:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lastly, I carefully cut through the basting\Nstitches to remove them, setting the zipper
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.00,0:05:10.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,free! And I’m done.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.89,0:05:14.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So – how does it look? How did I go?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.80,0:05:19.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music plays]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.80,0:05:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my conclusion is OBVIOUSLY:\N[scissors snipping sound effect]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.00,0:05:40.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Make this for yourself!\NIf you already know how to make a circle skirt,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.74,0:05:45.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is even simpler - because the most difficult\Nthing, I think, about making a circle skirt
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.03,0:05:49.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is hemming that curved edge - and this doesn't\Neven have curved edges!
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.38,0:05:52.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, thank you all so much for watching,\Ngive me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this, and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.77,0:05:54.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll see you all next time. Bye!
