Repairing A Torn Skirt Ruffle

ID: 177957

Description: Long skirts are often prone to tearing,...

Steps:

1. Fold the skirt so the ripped part is facing inside and is not visible from the outside.

2. Pin the folded fabric in place, using sewing pins to secure the fabric.
3. Be careful not to pin any extra fabric from the rest of the skirt.

4. Match a thread to the fabric.

5. Thread your sewing needle, holding your needle straight up and pushing the thread through.

6. Cut the thread to the desired length.
7. It is better to have thread that is too long rather than too short.
8. Tie a knot at the end of the cut thread to secure your stitches.

9. Push your needle in one side of fabric and draw it out on other side to make the first stitch.

10. Continue sewing in a straight line as demonstrated in Step 7.
11. Remove sewing pins as you go.

12. When you reach the end of your thread, tie your thread in a knot in order to secure the stitches.
13. Tie your knot as close to the fabric as possible to keep the stitches tight.

14. Cut off the excess thread.
15. Enjoy your fixed skirt!
