Cosplay: Vanellope von Schweetz Part 5

Now that I got sweater, pants, shoes, and hair accessories

I'm working on Vanellope's skirt

Again this is my first time making a pleated skirt so I had do some research online

and here was the result.

Vanellope's Reese's cup skirt has an accordion pleating.

So I found this youtube video that really helped me

I used this website to get measurement for the skirt: Circle Skirt Pattern
here you just need to know your waist size, hem length, seam allowance, and fabric width.
It will do the math that you'll need.

If you look at Vanellope's skirt it has 2 layers

Outer skirt: about 6 inches
Inner skirt: about 9 inches

The actual step for making the circular pattern was hit and miss
What I did was made a 1/4 circle pattern and on the fabric i drew and cut out as 1/2 circles

so good luck with this part.

The fabric that I got for the skirt was "144 Potting Soil Solid Microsuede"

and interfacing "Pellon #911 FF fusible featherweight"

I'm thinking that going with the Charcoal Grey would be better because white is eye catching.

Whereas Charcoal Grey is closer to the soil solid microsude fabric than the white.

When I was cutting the suede, i didnt cut it to exact measurement because I was going to hem it.
But when I was cutting the interfacing, I did cut it to measurement because it would provide better shape

then i follow the steps as mentioned on the video:
measure, cut, draw lines, iron, hem, pleat.

Here's what I did to finish the steps into making the skirt

Iron the inner and outer and sew along

double hemming

Skirt is also on my redo list when I learn how to make a better one.
But for now, this will do =D

UPDATE: I finished fixing my skirt (Update on skirt)
