Circle skirt
The circle skirt has a cut that widens significantly downwards and has characteristic, wide folds. When worn, the material "works" beautifully. It works perfectly in any length, from mini to midi. The circle skirt is an incredibly impressive, feminine and elegant cut. It is suitable for everyday use and for evening outings.
A simple way to sew a circle skirt
We will present one of the easiest ways to sew this type of skirt. The project is an excellent base for modifications. We can diversify it, for example, by sewing in a zipper, gathering, pleats or piping finishing the edges.
We will need
- Tailor's centimeter
- Soap, pins, scissors, calculator
- Threads
- Machinery
- Rubber
- Material
Before you start sewing, measure your hips and determine the desired length. Based on them, we will create a pattern. Sewing a circle skirt is a good time to remember the pattern for the circumference of a circle. Based on the hip circumference, we will calculate the radius of the inner and outer edge of the skirt.
ABOUT – circumference, r wheel radius, Π – 3.14
Assuming that our hips are 90 cm:
R =90cm: (r = 90cm: (2×3.14) = 90cm: 6.28 ≈ 14 cm). The result can also be obtained by dividing the hip circumference by 6.28
To calculate the radius of a large circle, simply add the value r to the set skirt length.
Correctly made dimensions are the key to the perfect shape of the skirt.
Fold the material in half and use a centimeter to measure both calculated lengths. We cut out the skirt along the outer lines. After cutting, we lay it flat and check whether it was successful.
We sew the elastic band into the waist opening. We adjust the length to the waist circumference, bearing in mind that the skirt must pass over the hips. Sew the elastic along its entire length with the right side to the right side of the fabric. Then we fold the elastic inside and sew it on from the bottom - as a result, it becomes invisible. Turn up the lower edge of the skirt and sew any stitch. Ready!
What material to choose?
Flowing and delicate fabrics are best for sewing a circle skirt. The skirt should be airy, light and flowing around the figure. Transparent and delicate will work great chiffon , which has an airy structure and a loose weave. It will also work silk , with a structure resembling silk. The material is light, crease-resistant and pleasant to the touch. American Crepe will also be a good choice due to its airiness, lightness and unusual fiber weave.
