It is a timeless piece of clothing that any woman of any age can possess. Depending on your fabric, you can go from casual to a wedding or a costume in two hours.  It is that easy to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Circle Skirt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A circle skirt is a type of skirt that is cut and sewn from a circular piece of fabric, with a hole in the center for the waist. The fabric drapes naturally in a full, flowing manner around the wearer's body, creating a wide, flared shape. The skirt can be made in various lengths, from mini to midi to maxi, and is known for its flattering fit on a wide range of body types. Circle skirts were popularized in the 1950s, often associated with the iconic &#8220;poodle skirt,&#8221; but they continue to be a staple in women's fashion due to their timeless and versatile design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>3 to 4 yards of 60&#8243; Linen, Cotton Batiste, Silk Back Crape, Wool Super 100 or above, Viscose, Rayon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thread to match<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 1\/2&#8243; wide elastic the size of your waist <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sewing Machine <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Circular Cutter or Scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tape measure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ruler<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pencil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zipper foot (Optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skill Level: Advanced Beginner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This skirt is perfect for the beginner that has never done this type of skirt before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative you read the following article on <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/sew-tiny-hem-rolled-hem-foot\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/sew-tiny-hem-rolled-hem-foot\/\">how to make a tiny hem with a rolled hem foot<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/hem-sheer-or-lightweight-fabrics\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/hem-sheer-or-lightweight-fabrics\/\">How to hem sheer or lightweight fabrics.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fabric Recommendations From Amazon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"soseea-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"My Amazon Picks\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"b566480d529aa8bf43f342ffb57c69bb\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B0B376YHN8,B07T8GHQWL,B0BRYPNRD5,B0BHVCSM8Z\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pattern Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-500x451.png\" alt=\"circle skirt pattern\" class=\"wp-image-78704 lazyload\" width=\"522\" height=\"471\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-500x451.png 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-300x271.png 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-768x693.png 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-1536x1387.png 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-2048x1849.png 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-150x135.png 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-250x226.png 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 522px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 522\/471;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-500x451.png\" alt=\"circle skirt pattern\" class=\"wp-image-78704\" width=\"522\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-500x451.png 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-300x271.png 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-768x693.png 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-1536x1387.png 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-2048x1849.png 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-150x135.png 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CircularSkirt-250x226.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing Your Fabric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fold the fabric in the centre with the selvedge together.

I am lining towards a bustier-inspired top.  What you would wear with this skirt? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you like and use this elastic waist circular skirt pattern and show me what you make with it since you can make a timeless skirt to last you many decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, Happy sewing, and let's keep the world together one stitch at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Wait&#8230; Do You Even NEED A Pattern?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about circle skirts are that you don't necessarily need a pattern to make one yourself. If you don't feel like using our easy printable pattern above, with a little math you can tailor-make your own fairly easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a circle skirt, start by measuring your waist circumference and desired skirt length. Next, calculate the radius for the waist opening using the formula: radius = waist circumference \/ (2 * \u03c0). Add your desired skirt length to the radius to get the larger circle's radius. Fold your fabric in half, with the wrong side facing out, and then fold it in half again to create a square with four layers. At the folded corner, measure and mark the waist radius along the curve, and then measure and mark the larger circle's radius from the same corner. Cut along these marked curves, ensuring you cut through all four layers of fabric, to create the circular shape with the waist hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After cutting the fabric, unfold it to reveal the circle skirt shape. Sew a narrow hem along the outer edge of the skirt, either by folding the fabric edge over twice and sewing or using a rolled hem foot attachment. To create a waistband, either cut a waistband from a coordinating fabric or use elastic. If using fabric, measure the waist circumference and add seam allowances to create a waistband that will comfortably fit around your waist. Sew the waistband to the waist opening of the skirt, right sides together, ensuring you evenly distribute any gathers if using a non-stretch fabric. If using elastic, measure a length slightly smaller than your waist circumference, join the ends to form a loop, and then sew the loop to the waist opening, stretching the elastic as you sew. Finally, finish the waistband by folding it over and sewing it down, enclosing the raw edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode963Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This elastic waist circle skirt pattern and tutorial is for a full circle with two seams on the side.
