How to Make a Skater Dress without a Pattern | Easy DIY Circle Skirt Dress with Sleeves

Learn how to make a skater dress with sleeves in this step by step sewing tutorial - no pattern needed! This dress is made with stretch knit fabric so it's easy to get a great fit with without having to sew darts or use a zipper, and I show you step by step how to cut and sew the pieces so you can learn how to make a dress from scratch. This DIY skater dress features a full circle skirt, but you could easily switch it out to a half circle skirt if you don't want it to be as full. This is a great sewing project for beginners who are comfortable using a sewing machine and are ready to learn to make clothes and to start sewing knit fabric. CHECK OUT MY FAVORITE SEWING SUPPLIES HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/comicatcr... * ***** MATERIALS NEEDED: 2 or more yards of a 4-way stretch knit fabric (I used 2 yards of an ITY knit, but I suggest getting more to be on the safe side if you want it much longer, larger, or longer sleeves). A fitted shirt with sleeves to use as a template (it won’t be cut or destroyed) Tracing paper or tissue paper to make the sleeve pattern - this is what I use: https://amzn.to/3hiJkj9 * Sewing machine - this is mine: https://amzn.to/2HcBk3b * Ball point needle: https://amzn.to/2GTcuqg * Pins Thread - this is my favorite brand because it's strong and durable: https://amzn.to/3eCdCfa * Scissors - this is a great affordable set I've used for years: https://amzn.to/2NMnZBl * Tape measure (Optional) Walking foot - if your seams or hems sew wavy, try a walking foot. It can help sew the fabric much flatter. This is the walking foot I use with my Singer sewing machines: https://amzn.to/2NkhoxP * Links with a * denote affiliate links, meaning if you purchase through the link it won't affect your price but I'll get a small commission which is much appreciated to help me make more tutorials!

I also give you tips on how to sew stretchy fabric. If you have trouble hemming stretch fabric, give a walking foot a try - I'm learning to use one and it's helping to correct wavy hems on tricky fabrics! ***** This is an updated version of my very first sewing tutorial! When I look back at many of my earlier tutorials (practically everything from 1 year ago onward, LOL!) I cringe because I have learned so much since then and didn’t have the clarity I try to put in my videos now… of course, that’s all part of the learning process and I wouldn’t have expected to be great when I first started out, so that’s why I wanted to recreate this tutorial! I’ve learned to slow down, speak clearer, and explain things more thoroughly so now I feel confident that you’ll be able to make a skater dress much easier from this video than from my original one. Skater dresses and circle skirt dresses are a basic part of my wardrobe and I think they’re so flattering on all body types, from thin frames to plus size figures, so I definitely recommend sewing one up!
