How To / How I :: A Tiered & Gathered Skirt Tutorial :: How Many Panels And How To Sew It Together

Hey Peeps! I never thought I liked tiered skirts but after making 5 of them in 2021 I think it's safe to save I LOVE them! A few of you asked me to put together a video showing how I made them and here it is. There are loads of different methods to make this skirt; this is my favourite. There are many different ways of putting gathering into your skirt tiers, this way works for me but feel free to use your preferred method when and if you make your skirt. If you do make one make sure to tag me on instagram so I can see; use #sianmademedoit 😍😉.

WHAT I'M WEARING ::

The fabric was from the Textile Centre and is no longer available.

Brilliant idea, using the bits of paper to demonstrate. I really appreciate how you take the time & effort to make everything crystal clear in your tutorials. And of course, the Feline Overlord content was a bonus!

[MF-dggp]

Thank you, the paper was a clever concise way of showing what to do. Enjoy your holiday! Missing the Waffles, but a lady deserves a rest. :D

This is one of my very favourite dresses. It looks amazing on you and the colour is beautiful ❤️❤️

[StitchedUp]

its satisfying hearing you rip that fabric!!!!, I adore this dress so much it has to be one of my favourite styles ever on you, just need mine to fit me now

[catherinerw]

Looking forward to this. I do my floofy petticoats as either 1/2/6 or 1/3/9 panels :) (the 1:3 ratio means you can just pleat 1" all round as you go without too much drastic measuring). Also do lapped seams on the selvedges! (But it's a petticoat...). I use the nice quality cotton from Dalston Mills.

I have done this with a quilting cotton and I find it can work better to overlock the edges rather than French seam them

[SerenaKaye]

💚🖤 I love a tiered skirt and you are the first to say just use the width of the fabric which makes so much more sense than measuring. TY

[Dizzycow-Tina]

Brilliant idea using the strips of card … makes it so much easier to understand, thank you so so much

[nancysnead]

I have been patiently waiting for this tutorial since I saw that lovely full skirt! Thank you for your very clear process!

[gigracer]

Love the way your dress turned out and the method of construction. The Chi content was also very cute! 🎠

[suek]

I love this dress. It would look terrible on me but I love it on you. This tutorial is very good.

[deanalovessewn]

[margiecook]

Great way of showing this method of gathering.

[sandrapacino]

Thank you for clearly showing and explaining this project!

[nimuenorth]

Thank you for yet another great tutorial! I already know a project for which I’ll come back to this - hopefully soon. ❤️

[jolynnwhite]

Never





Tears of fabric cause no tears from the eyes consummate instruction makes the sewing glide by

[bellepoupee]

Beautiful work, I will do this for my next one... merci ma belle! Christine 🦊🇨🇦🦊

[lilybogaards]

Very clear as always. I learned to, as you called it, break up the gathering stitching in even smaller portions. It makes it easier to distribute the gathers evenly. Have not done any gathering since my return to sewing. But this dress … that skirt … it’s can’t be long any more 😉 Need to order some fabric … indeed #sianmademedoit 😉😽💕

[amierikke]

Very clear explanation! Great! Thank you. 👗.
Take care

[CaroMary]

😻😻😻 still love this dress!!! Just try and find something similar 😽😽😽
