SUPER EASY circle skirt - NO zippers, NO fuss, NO π formula - just EASY 1 hour SKIRT!

- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2021
- Dear Sewing Friends, this is a beginner friendly tutorial for a half circle skirt that you can make in 1 hour! Spring and summer is almost here, so you can make this to wear and enjoy! You will need 2 measurements to get started and some elastic. No zippers, no fuss, no π formula for sewing this SKIRT! Also, don't forget that you can use this to create a dress with a variety of skirts! Happy SEWING!
FABRIC TO USE (don't limit yourself to these suggestions) - cotton, cotton blends, linen blends, rayon, chambray, twill and more! It is best, in my opinion, for your first time to use a stable fabric, so that it is easier for you to work with. Fabrics like silk or satin will look great but are difficult to work with if you have no experience.

What kind of skirts do YOU like to sew? I have a stretch pencil skirt, also easy - ruclips.net/video/LB8tFFARzeo/видео.html
This will be my first skirt!
I pretty much love all skirts, but I'm partial to circle and pencil skirts....will definitely check out the pencil skirt tutorial....thank you!
I would love a video on adding pockets to the skirt. Please.
Thanks for your sharing dear
A - Line & Maxi skirts...both are truly easy for me.
You are so much more organized and very explicit in your sewing. The method you use in planning a pattern is simple, complete and very visual. The others are disorganized, sloppy, or WAY>TOO>LONG!!!! You are a really good teacher!
Thank you so much! And I do hope that it helps. I do spend some time before each video doing a little "story board" so that I can keep track of what to film and what to do.
I just made my daughter a skirt using this video! Super easy. I made a couple boo boos but learning experience and I’m excited to make another. Thank you so much for posting this!
That is awesome and well done on your project! Here's to many more great sewing times
I'm a new sewist and you are definitely my favourite sewing channel on youtube!! These no pattern tutorials are absolutely awesome. I can't wait to try it out.
Awww, that's great!!! I am happy it helps, and this one I made with a new sewist in mind - this really is very simple, a good first garment project to do! Or just to try your hand at making a skirt!
You are absolutely awesome! I watched a couple of videos and you made it easy and simple. Thanks
Thank you so much for the tip about big booties! I decided to start making clothes bc no one makes clothes that fit my shape but I still run into so many issues. Really appreciate it! 👌
Mommy and daughter matching ... how adorable!
Aww, thank you! :) little one loves her skirt!
The very best tutorial I've ever seen on how to do this easily and properly. I am so grateful. Now I can finally use that fabric I've been holding on to for so long.
Very cute sewing friend 😂!❤
I love how you describe a fuller body shape! From now on my “mummy tummy” is going to be “my volume!” 😂 Brilliant video, thanks. 👍🏻
I just love this style skirt ,I'm glad you made this tutorial I was hoping to find one with such easy instructions 😊
So sweet. Thank you for being size inclusive when describing projects! You're the best!
Your instruction is inspirational. I've been wanting to make this kind of skirt. Thank you
I literally luvvvv that you actually explain why you are doing what you're doing. And encouragement & the little tips. Thank you !!
Awww the baby is gonna lock so cute in it🤣❤️
Thank you for your time. New subscriber here. I love how you explain things so clearly. I’ll attempt this for sure. Blessed day from Qld, Australia.
Thank you for the tutorial.. It’s great and easy to sew a skirt I love it ..
Thank you for sharing another amazing video. Remain blessed xxx
You are a great teacher! Thank you!
I love this! So easy looking to do! 😊
Thank you for this quick and easy pattern. I will be making a bunch of these for my daughter Pre K dress up box... the girls will have a blast.
so beautiful I love it
This looks super easy to do! I'm a beginner, so the patterns involving pi and extra measurements always looked intimidating. Thank you for being very clear and easy to follow.
I just fell in love with that fabric. It is gorgeous.
It is nice, isn't it? Got it in the "red tag" section - so it's a win win!
I have been wanting to make a circle skirt for the longest. I a newby to sewing and I couldn't find a tutorial that was simplified for me to follow. However, after watching this tutorial I am ready to tackle the challenge. Thanks a million for sharing.
I loved how you slowed down talking on how to finish the hem on a very careful way. Thank you for this pattern.
Glad it was helpful, Sheila!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity
I tried this pattern on a stretchy fabric, I struggled hemming it, I almost gave up.
@@sheilajoyforones5493 Sheila, hi! This is def not a heemming method for a stretch fabric. Hemming stretch fabric I the round is tricky.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity super tricky, but I eventually figured it out.
You make it so easy to follow .ive only been sewing few weeks done cushions ect so may be time to try this for my granduaghter thank you
A massive thank you for sharing this tutorial. I've watched so many trying to understand how this process is done. This video is the only one that tells me in a way I can work out. Now ready to do it with a little confidence. You are a great teacher. I have a idea of a skirt I really want to make in my head but the only thing that stopped me was trying to draw the pattern out. THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH......
Hi. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have some Muslin fabric and am going to test it out with this pattern. BTW, you do not go to fast. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. Thanks again.
Thank you!!! It looks easy... you have such a pretty voice
Thank you for the tutorial... That is wo derful easy to follow. I can't wait for the blouse and sew for my self for easter...🥰👍
Wonderful tutorial !!!👍 Thank you.
Thank you😊 so very much for this tutorial.
You are so amazing! I am enjoying your creativity!
Thanks so much Alisa! Thanks to your amazing videos, I have been able to see a skirt for my niece, and have even added a net petticoat for the inside!
God day Alias how do go about making pleated skirts
That's so interesting about letting the skirt hang. Love your sewing buddy!
My sewing buddy is the best - sits in my lap all the time! :) yep, the bias part of the skirt will drop a bit after 24hrs
I was so impressed. I love circle skirts but didn't find any tutorials about how to draft this kind of skirt if my butt is bigger. Unfortunately that's something I can't change and it's difficult to find a skirt which fit on me. This tutorial showed me how I can draft a skirt for my hourglass body type and the best part is you mentioned how I can draft to create equal lengths. That's what I was looking for so thank you very very much. Now I will be more confident to make a nice skirt 😊
I just ordered fabric to make some skirts and will be referring to this video. So much easier then the last circle skirt video I watched (and made) And of of course I will be adding pockets!! I've added pockets to all my PJ pants since I got my machine in July.
Wonderful!
Thank you lots this is a great skirt!
Love the fabric.
Wow so beautiful
Thank you very good I will try to make it👍👍
Thank you! ❤ I'm new at sewing, so it's a bit intimidating to make a skirt. But you has such great explanation skills, so I will try when I get my hands on some wider elastic (I only have 5mm elastic band 😔)
I like that. I can't wait to try it. I made a couple of pencil skirts with my own pattern but I want a fuller skirt. Thank you.
I love how you referred to large backsides as ‘volume.’
I tried this skirt, its super easy and fits perfectly!!
Tabatha, thank you for sharing and I am so happy that you made a beautiful skirt!
Very clever! I love that you made it easy to understand Thank you!
Glad it was helpful :)
Excellent tutorial.. thanks
Thank you for this video! Following your tutorial I was able to sew my daughter a poodle skirt for her Halloween costume. It was so easy and looked so cute.
Wonderful!
Will be trying this.
Love this skirt so cute!
Thank you, Shane!
This is exactly the project I wanted
Yay! I read your mind :) he he
I revisit your diy an my answer was right there yepee👍👍👍
Looks beautiful
Thank you miss Arlene :) greeting to you and your family!
That was great advice for a fuller bum! Thanks. 😉
Thank you for including hip measurements. Most of the other tutorials I've seen don't mention it at all. Now I wish I'd known about your video befoe I cut my fabric. I have to add panels to make it wide enough to fit my hips.
Oh yes, awesome 💥✂️🧵
YAY! :)
Cute skirt!
You are a sewing genius. Thank you for explaining the way and how of my longer in the front shorter in the back situation. Funny that patterns from the big 4 don’t mention this.
I make a kind of style of this type of skirt (after a fashion) I love cotton fabric so I buy the cotton that quilters use, I buy x2 length, cut them in an A shape, sew up the sides, fill the waist with elastic, voila, lovely cotton skirt, which will last me up to 10 years, yes I wear them to death till they literally fall apart and are so faded. I love the designs of these cotton fabrics too. Myra of New Zealand
Thank you.
Hi I love your video , thanks for sharing you are an excellent teacher
I already subscribe
Thank you شكرا. 🌷
Thanks dear
Very cool, thank you.
Thank you, Marian!
Great tutorial - thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am making Minney Mouse matching skirts for my daughters and I to wear to our upcoming trip to Disney! This is perfect!! I’m probably just reading too far into simplicity and fear of messing up my fabric and having to buy more but please verify the top cut “waistband” is actually the 1/4 of waist measurement plus 1 that we measure? I keep watching over and over. And I still am scared to cut my fabric 😂 I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials.
I love you videos! They are so informative in a clear and encouraging way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May I ask what washable pencils can be used to transfer the pattern to the fabric please?
Very well unexplained
Nice!
I need a Aline custom pattern for myself, I love them
Arlene, in the Private FB group for the Members I posted a little video on how to get an A-line pattern from a pencil skirt pattern that we did earlier!
I'm not a skirt person, but it looks like a fun challenge. Love the cat and the color of the material you used for the skirt. I'm a quilter, so this will get tucked away in my saved videos that I keep. Someday I hope to find some yellow and black like you have and will give it a try. Thank you. Love watching what you make. And your cat.
He he, yes, the cat - Eva - she is my sewing buddy! She likes to sit in my lap as I sew, so sometimes she just gets in the shot :) I think I got this fabric at a red tag section in Jo-Ann's, if you're in US you might check it out and see if they have it :) I admire people who quilt, but myself I can only do SUPER simple quilt things!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Yup, in the US. We might be neighbors. I think I saw you are in Smokies. I'm in Kentucky and have a Jo-Ann's about 10 miles out. I will have to take a look. I always forget Eva's name. She is a sweetheart.
We are, near Gatlinburg, popular vacation spot for nearby states!!! my Jo-Ann's is about this far as well, which is good - less temptation :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Such a fun place. We were staying out side Gatlinburg up on top of a very tall hill in a rented condo a few years back and I fell in love with the fog that was rolling in and out. Always changing. I loved that the most of our vacation. Thanks again.
Circular skirt, I would put right sides together, sew a seam then iron the seam, turn the skirt inside out or wrong sides together, sew another seam, you don't have to zigzag the seams or cover them with bias binding (as some would do), or use a surger them (we call a surger an "overlocker". Myra New Zealand
Wouldn’t it be beautiful in silk. 👌🏼😊
oh yes! It would fall nicely too!
Ooooooh I love this one! I’m going to make this next lol I love the simpleness (is that a word?) LOL Thank you for the back booty tip !! Love all your pattern making videos! Hi, Eva the kitty, so cute.
Aaaand, Linda, I just posted the MEMBERS ONLY video with some extra advice + Instruction Sheets are on the drive as well! He he, Eva says hi back!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Whoot ! You are awesome! I just watched that one too Wheeee I'm off to the sewing room now... Aww sweet Eva!
Cute pattern! Can you please provide a link to the video on how to even and hem a circle skirt?
Love to sew with your ways. Thanks. I would like to learn to put in pockets in the fukk circle skirt of any other garment. Love pockets and I am an intermediate sewer😊
Hi Lillian, so great to have you here! :) I have a ton of pocket tutorials on the channel, including how to put them into skirts - take a look at the videos on my channel :)
You mentioned adding in-seam pockets. Do you have a tutorial on how to make and sew them?
I'm a new sewer and since you raced through putting the waistband on it took me hours to figure it out. Omg. It goes upside down so top stitching seals the casing before you string the elastic through. You can't see that in the video. You're welcome, newbies!
I'd love to see a video on how you deal with serger threads - I'm new to serging and my threads all unravelled on a pair of leggings I made! And my niece will love her new circle skirt, thanks for this tutorial! :)
Hello there, haven't seen you here in a while :) here's the video about serger tips and how I deal with serger ends - ruclips.net/video/0RJK0ZOw-ig/видео.html
Reading your comment again.... Is your serger threaded correctly - just double check, because I never had any threads unravel... This is odd.
My polish mom would make me skirts all the time as a child and anything I wanted in high school
I NEED to try this one it looks much easier than the calculation method I tried b4, and I also like how you said that the top piece will be the waist so I measure how long from there you would want it to be, thanks because another video I watched didn't show this and after drawing the pattern out it was tooooo short for my daughter, but this one looks easier
This for sure is easy :) my little one loves her skirt and I love mine! Give it a go, for sure!
Ok so I measured my daughter's hip got 31 inches, divided it, got approx 7 3/4, then added inch, 8 3/4 inches.
when I measured the length to make the curve I got 12 inches, is that correct?
@@Deoshan1 If you did everything according to the video then it is. If you are unsure - make a sample first and then cut your actual fabric. I am sorry, I cannot assist everyone personally due to the volume of requests.
I had to like right away....before I saw video😊
Whaaaaaat? :) I do that too, lol. Happy to see you here, Lynettte! Hope you enjoy the video!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thoroughly enjoyed the video, I have the perfect fabric for it.....you definitely had me at "easy and circle skirt" 😊😊
wonderful .. im like a nursery child in the world of sweing .. i can definitely dare to try this bcz it looks easy . But dont know what fun i ll have when i do 😂😂😂 ..
A quick question.. how much fabric you are holding in your hand (if that was for ur skirt) .. want to know the dimensions of that large piece of fabric .. thanks
I love how u made a band to put on skirt look so much better than just putting elastic on the skirt a lovely skirt
Hi Alisa!! Thanks for this tutorial & your explanation of how to do this is extremely appreciated....
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
I always stitch down the elastic at both seams.
That material says it all.
Thank you, dear Diana! It is bright, isn't it? :)
Thank you for this video, definitely will give it a go! Do you think it could be made in Georgette fabric? 😁
Absolutely, Nancy! The only thing - if you have worked with georgette before - go for it, if not - go for more stable fabric, hemming georgette in the round might be a task if you have never done it. Hope this helps!
How do I make this a flared maxi? Thank you so much for these videos, you are amazing
Linda, the thank you for becoming a Member! Very easy- just make it longer. Also there is an extra video for Members Only + instruction sheets for this project that will explain how you can also make a 1/4 circle skirt and other degrees of flare. Happy sewing!
Excellent instructions! How to figure out how many yards of fabric for this skirt?
Hello there :) Make a pattern first and then measure around it or take it with you to the fabric store.
I do like that you are choosing the hem length to your preference, the shrinkage is a great tip and the skirts are lovely. Please don't take offense, I try to help. However, there is a lot of pressure put on skirt side seams and particularly waist bands with elastic in them, so you will find the half inch or 1.5 cm, is necessary. Your skirts will not take the rough and tumble of wearing and washing, with tiny seam allowances, that is why unlike patchwork and quilting, which have no pressure put onto many of the seams, clothing patterns always have the wider seam allowances.
Kathleen, thank you for your input! Never worry about providing some ideas/input ;) Seam allowance and the width of them - is a debatable question. In my personal preference I always go for a smaller seam allowance, depending on a project of course, sometimes wider. I still wear clothes I made 10-11 years ago with smaller seam allowances and they held up great. But I do see your point! I always take even smaller seam allowance on the necklines and armholes and it comes out cleaner and less bulk, and holds together well. At the end of the day, I don't claim to do everything by the book, just what works for me :) Thank you Kathleen!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. When adding extra length for the back side, is that a separate pattern piece?
watch the video again and listen and watch carefully to that part where I talk about extending one side of the circle, everything is addressed.
Hi,what kind of fabric,choices pls thank u😊
Hi! I really like ur tutorial...u have an amazing heart to give ur ideas.hope to learn from u more and Godbless u❤️...may i know the brand name or serial # of ur sewing machine and serger?if there is???thanks for sharing ur ideas!!!pls.do reply thanks....
I LIKE. one question, did you use your exact hip measurement or did you add a few more inches in the fabric? I'm sorry, I speak Spanish, that's why I couldn't understand her so well.
My skirt turn out beautiful, except for my skirt rise up in the back an fits me at the knee in the front.
I LOVE THIS SKIRT.
So, I'd love to wear more skirts, but I'm never sure of what top to wear? especially if you have a post baby tummy =) any suggestions? another skirt pattern?
I have a post baby tummy too, you can take a look at the tops I have made in my videos - some of them would go great with skirts. Also, check out Pinterest for inspiration.
I know it’s an older video but I’d love if you could answer a question. I just started sewing! This is really helpful.
If I wanted to have a double elastic waistband would I then just do double the size of the fabric of what the space of one band is? I hope that question makes sense! 😅😬
If you need to double the elastic then you will also need to make your skirt waist measurement bigger. If you double the elastic, but leave the waist measurement as is - then no matter what you do the waist won't get bigger.
