In my quest to find an easy-to-follow tutorial on sewing bubble skirts for my cosplay outfit (and for general wear, since what I love about the bubble hem is that it looks well sitting down, which is great when you’re a girl in a wheelchair who wants to look cute), I came across this video from Dose.ca. I’ll admit, part of the appeal is the pun of the series title, but what’s nice about this video is that she makes it easy to follow (as opposed to when I read this tutorial on eHow, which pretty much explains the same thing). Then again, it might just be that when it comes to projects, I’m more of a visual learner by nature.
My only remaining concern is whether or not a bubble hem skirt can be made without the second elastic that will apparently rest around the thighs. Since this would be my first time attempting such a skirt, I’ll follow the instructions as the girl in the video lines them out, but my brain is already thinking that there might be other ways to do it, if only because elastic around the thighs sounds uncomfortable. (Then again, maybe I’m just confused on that part?) This other tutorial on eHow describes an alternative way, but unfortunately, there aren’t any pictures to make the description clearer. My quest continues!
