14-Yard 4-Tier Skirt 2

Published:

Description

Fabrics:
3.5 yards of iridescent, cranberry crepe (cut into 4 strips for a total hem of 14 yards) for the 4th tier. The fabric itself is brocaded and looks like flames rising up on the diagonal.

7 yards of lightweight black cotton for the remain tiers which are 7, 3.5 and 1.75 yards as You go up.

As for sewing time...

It took quite a few hours to brainstorm the dimensions I wanted to use for each tier and then work out the math to ensure that the radius vs. circumference of the outer hem of each tier was sufficient so it could form a perfect circle if laid flat.

It took an entire day just to over edge and gather the bottom-most tier. Each tier above that then took just under half as long.

Waist uses 1.5" tall elastic and fits anywhere from an 18" to 36" waist (or hips). Overall length is 34" from base of the waistband to the bottom hem.
