I se...HI! Longtime reader, first time commenter :)<br /><br />I sewed 2 circle skirts for the first time this week, and used the "waist divided by 6.28" method. <br /><br />I added 2 inches first, because I planned to sew in elastic to hold it on, but that made them quite a bit too big, so I'd just go with waist / 3.14 / 2<br /><br />xxbrodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037300601081348064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-13070406011952333032012-12-12T22:35:48.392+11:002012-12-12T22:35:48.392+11:00Yes, I saw that tutorial but rejected it because I...Yes, I saw that tutorial but rejected it because I don't want visible elastic if I tuck a top into the skirt.<br /><br />What I would like is a tube for the elastic, but I will have to make that tube out of the top of the existing fabric because I have no extra.<br /><br />I figure I will use the waist measurement plus 2 inches method, and I will probably be able to get the skirt on over my head rather than over my hips.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987383983530564029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-43380207896155249022012-12-12T22:21:50.641+11:002012-12-12T22:21:50.641+11:00awesome mel. i'm envious of your courage in j...awesome mel. i'm envious of your courage in just sewing as you go and pinning on yourself to fit. i've never been brave enough to do that, i like a solid pattern or instructions and balls to refinements! there's a dress i'm making for annick that will be three sizes too big, but i'm too chicken to try and resize down from the default pattern, so she'll just have to grow into it.<br /><br />i like dana willard's tutorials - she has a circle skirt that agrees with your second example (waist plus 2 inches divided by 6.28), although she uses a wide elastic waistband rather than threading elastic into a sleeve. http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-the-circle-skirt.html<br /><br />i look forward to seeing the finished product! and the rest of your wardrobe this summer - you always make me wistful about my own lack of style and purpose.<br /><br />melaniemelanienoreply@blogger.com
