No Sew Console Skirt

Here I’ll walk you through everything you’ll need to complete the project.

Here I talk through all the important points to consider when choosing to use this fabric for your project

Here I talk through what to look for when picking your own fabric for this project.

Here I show you how to square off your fabric to ensure straight cuts and measurements.

See PDF for additional instruction.

I’ll walk you through how to measure the fabric for our first panel - first we’ll find the center of the center squiggle!

After finding the center point of the fabric for the console’s center we work backward to find the width of one panel

Here we find the height of our first panel

Here I show you how to cut the fabric to reduce bulky corners.

I’ll show you how to prep seams for adhesive (stitch witchery)

Here’s a quick way to jump start the melt!

I like to hold my panels up to the Kallax as I complete them to make sure everything looks good!

Please watch this video before you cut the height on the right panel as you will likely have to shift the fabric up to match the pattern on the left panel!

Measuring and Cutting the First Side Panel

We do the same shifting of the fabric here (like we did with the right front panel) to ensure pattern alignment with this piece across both front right and left panels.

A quick video because you can just align the fabric to be cut with the first side panel we’ve already cut. Just ensure that you account for the pattern alignment and shift the fabric up or down accordingly.

The corner panels will split most of the remaining fabric in that section. They will also need to be shifted down to align with the pattern on the side panels.

We’re going to be measuring up from the bottom of the remaining fabric for this piece.

The most important thing to remember when measuring this piece is getting the height right while taking into account the 1/2” overlap with the front left and right panels all the while ensuring the pattern matches with these.

Only 2 steps left to go - applying ribbon and adhering the panels to each other! Wanted to quickly show you what the skirt looks like before it’s assembled!

Use the ruler to work in sections to avoid using pins which leave noticeable marks behind in the fabric.

Here I show you how to fold the ribbon back on itself and then across to create a corner and continue using the same piece across the bottom width.

The second corner should mirror the first and I’ll walk you through that here quickly.

Here I show you how to secure the top part of the corners that is loose!

Just a quick overview of the process of layering the panels onto the top panel to create the skirt.

Using pins here to ensure we maintain 1/2” overlap of the top and front panels.

Adhere the side panels here as well using the same method as listed above.

Lining up the center panel left to right and bottom - you can fudge the top here to ensure the bottom of the panel is aligned with the two front panels.

Here I show you what a finished corner looks like before we start cutting!

I’ll show you how to notch the corner panel fabric at a 45 degree angle to be able to adhere it to both the side and front panels.

It’s time to sit back and admire your work!
