Short Pannier 17.7inch Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

This is a free sewing pattern and tutorial for a short petticoat (pannier) with a 17.7 inch (45 cm) length, an essential piece for adding volume to cosplay costumes, stage outfits, and formal dresses.

The pattern is a simple rectangle, but having it prepared in advance makes cutting and sewing much easier, especially for beginners.

The instructions are based on using 15-denier soft tulle, but you can substitute other fabrics. For greater fullness, increase the number of ruffles or use 30-denier or 50-denier tulle.

Hard tulle creates even more volume, but it can cause stiffness and make the outline visible through the skirt, so choose materials carefully to match your desired finish.

After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, cut along the edges, and the pattern is ready to use. All patterns include seam allowances (S/A) for immediate sewing.

This short petticoat pattern is suitable for cosplay outfits, historical costumes, wedding dresses, or any skirt that requires extra volume.

The production process is explained with translation software.

(1) Sew the sides of the "Base Body" into a loop.

(2) Iron the "Belt" into shape, then loop it and sew it to the "Base Body".

* Leave the hole for the elastic without sewing.

(3) Sew the sides of the "gathered frills" 1st level to 4th level together to form a loop.

* Serge/overlock is not necessary for tulle fabric, but if you need to serge/overlock for broadcloth or other fabrics, you may need to do so.

If you have a lock sewing machine, finish by rolled hemming.

(4) "gathered frills" 1st level to 4th level, gather on one side.

(5) Sew "gathered frills" from the 1st level to the "Base Body" in the reverse direction.

* For thicker fabrics, do not sew backwards. In that case, sew from "gathered frills" 4th level to 4th level in reverse order.

(6) Insert elastic into the "Belt".
