Sewing a tube skirt

[BrightSparkles]

Anyone done it??
They are about $20 - $3 in the shops. I reckon i can make one cheaper.
Anyone done it and have any tips for me???

tube of stretch or joining stretch material

have ever sewn stretch material before (yes it is different to sewing normal material)

you will need a ball-point tip needle for your machine to start with, the correct thread etc

You also need to make sure that the stretch of the material is the right way.

A bikini can take up to 2m of stretch material because of the way the pattern has to be laid out on the stretch.

Yep go for it! If it's a tight stretch it will be easier to sew than a really soft stretchy jersey but even that isn't impossible, just can be fiddly and as Sop mentioned you do need to be able to match up stretch etc. I bet there are some tutes online!!

It's been a little while since i've sewn stretch material - will need a practice go first
I might maybe buy a cheap one and unstich it for a pattern.
