Sew a Skirt from a Poodle.
To sew a skirt from a poodle, follow these simple steps:
1. Choose the right fabric for your skirt.
2. Cut the fabric into strips approximately 1” wide and 12” long.
3. Sew one strip of fabric to the bottom of each hip bone on the front of your poodle’s body.
4. Sew the second strip of fabric to the top of each hip bone on the back of your poodle’s body.
5. Hem the strips together at both ends, making sure to hem them in opposite directions so that they form a straight line when they are sewn together.
6. Now that all of the strips have been sewn together, make sure to test them out by inserting them into an inch-deep hole drilled in the ground near your poodle’s tail end. If they fit comfortably, you’re ready to sew up your poodle skirt!
How to Sew a Poodle Skirt
Start by sewing the bottom of your skirt together, starting with the front and working your way back. Sew the fabric along the seams, making sure to press it down firmly before Ironing it.
Sew the Skirt Top
To make your top skirt, start by sewing the sides together, then Zigzagging them across the top of the fabric. Next, sew along one edge of each side to create a hemmed edge. Finally, Iron out any excess fabric.
Sew the Skirt Hem
The next step is to sew the hem on your top skirt. Start by sewing two long stitches together, then cross over and stitch along both ends of the new stitch line. Iron out any excess fabric between stitches and leave a nice blank area at one end of your skirt for hemming later on.
Sew the Skirt Neckline
Now it’s time to sew your neckline! Start by threading one end of your skirting through one hole in your shirt collar (the other end should be unthreaded) and pulling tight (this will help keep our skirting looking neat). Stick another thread through that same hole and pull tight; this will create a basic neckline for our skirted piece. You can either use bias binding tape or some other method to hold everything in place while you sew (I like to use bobby pins). Once you have a basic neckline created, Iron out any excess fabric around it using a presser board or heat gun; leave enough space at one end so that you can sew in your own hairstyles later on (websites like High Society provide tutorials on how to do this).

Now that you have a basic skirted piece, it’s time to make it your own! First, decide on your hairstyle. If you want your skirt to feature a traditional neckline or hem, follow High Society’s tutorials on how to do this. If you want to go for an air-brushed look, start by following these same instructions but using a spray bottle and some hot water to help achieve the desired effect. Once you have the look you desire, Iron out any excess fabric using a presser board or heat gun; leave enough space at one end so that you can sew in your own hairstyles later on (websites like High Society provide tutorials on how to do this).
How to Sew a Poodle Skirt
To sew the skirt bottom, cut a piece of fabric that is 1-2 inches wide and lengthwise. Hem the bottom of the skirt by cutting a hemline right near the waistband, then sewing it in place.
Sew the Skirt Top
To sew the skirt top, cut two pieces of fabric that are 1-2 inches wide and lengthwise. Hems one side of each piece by cutting a hemline right near the waistband, then sewing it in place.
Sew the Skirt Hem
Next, sew an opening at one end of each skirting fabric together, then thread one side of each opening through a loop on the other side of the skirting fabric (the “bunny ear”), and close up the opening with your fingers.
Lastly, sew Machine Stitches into each opening to hold everything in place while you sew.
Conclusion
Sewing a Poodle skirt is a fun and easy way to add some color and fun to your wardrobe. By following these simple steps, you can create a beautiful and unique skirt that will make your dog stand out from the rest.
