@@itssaneD 🤗🤗 In the middle of a big project now but when I get the chance to try something I've learned from you I'll definitely make sure you see it!

I had a chance to use your high low trick for my sister's wedding dress train... will be releasing a video on it soon.. but came back cause I have a question... do you think the interfacing is a requirement for this style?

Hey Lethi, thank thank you for watching the video 🤗 I would love to see the end result. Please connect with me on Instagram @itssane Please make sure you have more than enough fabric. Maybe 3.5yards so that the bottom part of the circle is long enough. I cannot wait to see your skirt 😍😍😍

Hey Marshana, I actually never thought of it. It would have actually been better. But will try that technique when I do another skirt which will be longer. Thank you for leaving a comment and food for thought.🙏🏾

Hey, Nakyambaddenorrin509 Thank you so much for watching and thank you for the support it means a lot.

Hey Jennifer, thank you for the compliment. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I have two suggestions. 1. Make sure your Ankara material’s width is more than 58” (mine was only 46”) the circle part of the skirt could not be long enough. But if you are not using Ankara material just make sure your width is long enough for the big circle part to be longer. 2. If you can’t find an Ankara material with a width that is long enough, I would suggest that you make the shift skirt part long enough maybe up-to your knee so that it gives the skirt more length. I hope this makes sense.

@@itssaneD thank you so much yes makes sense

Thank you for watching ❤️

😍😍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

You would have to take your waist measurement, your hip measurement and the length of how much you want the upper skirt part you want it to be. Then the bottom circle has to be longer than the circle at the top. I hope this reply makes sense. 🙈🙈

Hi, I have the same question and I feel like the answer you gave is still not enough. Yes, I need waist and hip measurements those are for the pencil part of the skirt. Then you say length of 2 circles...but what or how did you get the circumference of the 2 circle parts. You used your waist size? Or did you measure lower part of your hips?

@@lisaln3987 hey Lisa, I do apologize that my answer was not clear. Let me try and simplify it in words. 🙈 I find it better to explain while doing. I may do a tutorial on how to make this high low part. So, once you have taken your pencil skirt measurements and the desired length. From the length of the pencil skirt you will have to take the measurements of the circumference opening. That is how wide you would like the opening to be. Ideally it should have an allowance and room for you to move. Eg. If the length of your skirt is up to the knees you would have to take the circumference measurements of the knee (how wide you want your circle ⭕ to be). It would be that circumference ÷ 4. Which will give you the radius of the open area of the circle. (I will do a tutorial for this part to make it simple) creating a high low part is one which is complex to explain in words. But the longer circle should be 64inch by 64inch, told it into four (just like when you are cutting a circle) And the shorter one should be 54inch by 54inch 1. Fold your fabric into fourths, wrong side up. Measure from the corner out using your measuring tape like a protractor, and create a quarter circle with tailor’s chalk or a washable fabric marker. Be careful not to use something that is permanent or hard to wash out. Cut along the marked line. 2. Open up your skirt to a folded semi-circle. Slide the top layer up until it’s the length of the front hem plus the radius. take your time when cutting this part and you will get it right, it will be worth it. 3. As carefully as you can, fold your skirt in half again, so that it is sort of in fourths. You may want to pin or clip the fold in place, so it doesn’t shift while you move the skirt. Draw out your radius, the same way you marked for your first circle. Cut out your opening. 4. When you open your skirt all the way up, it will have the high low effect and do the same with the shorter circle. Depending on how long you want it to be but it will have to be shorter than the longer one 5.You can sew them together onto the pencil skirt part. Sheesh I really hope I explained proper. I will try and make a video soon

@@itssaneD so if I want the ruffle to be right below my butt like what you made, I should take the measurement from my waist or widest part of my hips or even add more? Let me ask this when you gave the measurement of 20" when you were cutting the ruffle where did you get the 20" from on your body? Thanks 😊 🙏

Hello Olivia, I am so sorry for a late reply I had been away from YT. May I please watch it and get back to you to see which part exactly you are talking about.

Muito Obrigada 🤗❤️

Hey C P. There was no need however I wanted the same effect for both circles. Had I only lined the bottom circle the difference in thickness would be obvious. No lining on the straight part just a preference. I am also not a professional at this just sharing how I learnt how to sew.

@@itssaneD Thanks for replying. I too am not a professional but was curious about the resulting effects with/without lining. I get your point of the top circle lining. Thank you so much.

@@CPfaith thank you for understanding 😘 I hope you get the effect you desire on your skirt.❤️

Hey Karina sorry for a late reply. Firstly I would like to say thank you for watching this video and I am living outside the states so I am not sure where you would be able to get this kind of fabric. I hope you do find it or even similar

Hey Denise I am so sorry for a late reply. But I was really short of fabric here and I had 4 yards. Considering that that width of the fabric was short I wish I had 5/6yards.

Hey Maria 🤗🤗 Thank you for stopping by my channel. It was a self drafted pattern. I hope it was easy for you to follow the tutorial.

Hey Bombchery, I would like to apologize for a late reply I had been on a break from YT. The lining - yes I did sew it together with the skirt part. Yes the circle part was the circumference of my hips. Yes I did serge the two circles at the top once I sew then together. My next video I will work on delivering a better video ☺️ explaining.
