You know something? I think you should be awarded the best instructor on RU-vid. I've watched videos on circle skirts and your videos has simplified everything for me. You've helped me boost my confedence without cutting out wow! Thank you so much, I love you already😢
I am saving your video to my sewing playlist! I've watched more skirt making tutorials than I can count, and I am very impressed with how simple to follow yours is. Thank you for this tutorial :)
If I made the opening just the size of my waist, then I could not pull it up over my butt. I think we measure it to waist size only when we put a zipper into the skirt. I’ve seen other videos that say for an elastic waistband you need to make the opening according to your HIP size. Us chubbies do, anyways.thankyou for the calm video, anyways. Your skirt is lovely and so are you.
Thank you so much for this video. Like others have commented, I have looked at so many videos. Your video was the clearest one from beginning to end. I was able to finish making my ver first circle skirt.
I wanted to see how you stitched the second part of the band just before you attach the elastic. You came back and said waistband is finally attached but did not record how you sewed it. That would be great addition for DIY.
Hello there, thank you for watching, the difference is the amount of flare you want your skirt to have(how wide you want it to be at the bottom)... quarter has a small flare, half medium flare and so on....so there's a formula for each flare
So if you wanted to have pickets could you do it in two equal lanes, seams on either hip, to put a pocket in there? My daughter always wants pockets in things!
Check kwalapha on my channel the blue dress titled " DIY flare dress with pockets" to see how I made it long using three cats fabric. I used a quarter circle skirt but you can do it with a half circle skirt.
Thank you so much, that was easy, wanted to know the size of the lastic band. If I want to put zip instead of elastic which size of zip is suited ? Thanks sisi
Thank you for watching, the elastic length is your original waist measurement where you just put the tape measure around your waist and got your measurement or you can just put the elastic around your your waist and cut it where it feels comfortable for you. The width of the elastic I used is 3.5cm I think 20cm zipper will be good for the skirt❤️
If you take your waist measurement on your lower waist/around your hip bone, your skirt waist will be big enough to allow for the movement of taking it off. But if you are planning to install a zipper you won't need those extra centimeters/inches
Hello there Nonele, ewe wenza ngoluhlobo but kubekho ke that extra wrapping layer.... ndinayo iwrap dress endiyenzileyo if you can scroll up uzakuyibona the red one maybe ingakunika some idea.
Hi there, elastic should be your actual waist measurement, you can even put elastic around your waist and cut it where it feels comfortable to you... But remember to make the skirt waist bigger than the actual waist to allow the elastic to stretch.
