Below you’ll find instructions on how to make a royal blue vinyl ruffle skirt from our 4-way stretch vinyl. It’s perfect for making a Sailor Moon Cosplay outfit! Check it out:

Step 1: Gather your supplies

1.5 yards of royal blue stretch vinyl
Ruffle skirt pattern
Leather sewing needles
Seam ripper
Pins
Fabric Scissors
Roller presser foot
Matching thread
Thread snippers

Step 2: Cut out the pattern pieces

Cut out your pattern pieces from your fabric. Space your pattern pieces to use the least amount of fabric as possible.

Step 3: Setup your sewing machine

Before you begin sewing, attach the roller presser foot to your sewing machine, making sure your thread is positioned through the hole provided on the rolling foot’s center.

Step 4: Sew yoke and ruffle

Sew the front yoke to front ruffle (using ¼ seam allowance), then sew the back left yoke to the back left ruffle (1/4 seam allowance), and attach the right left yoke to the back right ruffle.

Step 5: Sew side seams

Now that all the ruffles have been attached to their correct yokes, attach the side seams of the left and right yokes to the side seams of the front skirt yoke.

Step 6: Attach the waistband

You should now have your skirt in one long piece like the in the image – with the waistband the only other piece. Sew your waistband to the skirt section.

Step 7: Sew rear of skirt together

Once the Waistband is attached sew the right back yoke seam to the left back yoke seam. Your skirt is now complete! You don’t need a zipper because the material has plenty of stretch and will slide on over your hips, but you could add one to this pattern if you wanted.
