Love this pattern and tutorial. I have a check I want to make into a 1/2 circle and didn't fancy trying to match on multiple seams, so the one panel method looks perfect! Can someone please explain, I don't understand why you don't need to add SA to the radius measurement how is there enough space to add the zip? TIA
You are cutting out your waist measurement and then stitching half an inch away from the cut line. That increases the diameter of the circle and gives you enough seam allowance. Hope that helps.
Just wanted to say I admire your thoroughness! Most online tutorials would never do basting stitches, hand stitches, and making the hem even (and the liner!) after allowing the skirt to hang for a few days. Super impressed! I'm new to sewing but I wish all videos taught and incorporate best practices like you.
Your comment is so thoughtful and means a lot to me. I always want to provide thorough explanations and teach techniques that make the garment of highest quality. A video like this takes extra time to make but it is worth it to me when it serves you well. Thank you for taking the time to tell me.
Used this technique to make my granddaughter a skirt. shes a very very tiny 2 year old. her waist is 17 inches and from her waist to her knee was 7 1/2 inches. I made it in st. patricks day print. used a button for the closure. worked up great and I cant wait to try it on her.
This is your first video I watched and I’m blown away how meticulous you made this video. It is so easy to understand. Detailed. Well described. Thank you. I subscribed.
Totally agreed. It's my first video too regarding half circle skirt and I will follow all the other videos because I resonate with this kind of presentation and details. Love it.
I too was going to comment on how pleasant her voice sounds, which along with the detailed demonstration for such a classic and practical garment, makes this a perfect video.
this must be the most complete tutorial I've ever seen... Just plain honest about parts being hand-sewn instead of doing it as quick as possible on the machine and a lot of tips to make it all look nice in the end. Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever come across, everything is explained with great detail and you reply to all questions in an understanding and helpful way. Definitely subscribing :)
As a teacher, with a degree in textiles and garment construction, I can say that you are the teacher I always dreamed I was. Absolutely charming as well as being extremely clear, precise and informative! I subscribed!
Amazing tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Could you please do a dress tutorial in the future? I really don't know how to make a nice structured bodice... You're so good at explaining and showing professionally how to sew that it would be great if you did a tutorial on that!
Thank you for your comment! Yes, I have a dress pattern that I will be reviewing and showing how to sew this spring. I plan on covering many different dresses throughout this year too.
I liked your attention to detail. I just don't understand why many You tubers have background music that I must try and block out while listening to instructions. I'll subscribe and follow more of your videos.
I'm about to finish making 2 skirts using this tutorial and I have to say I am so thankful for your videos Paige! You are so thorough and don't rush things just to finish quickly, which is the way I like to sew as well 😊 I learned so many things from following this video and I had never installed a zipper before so it was the perfect learning opportunity! I'm still new to sewing so if you're a beginner and you're not sure about making a skirt with this video, I encourage you to try! If I can do it, you can do it too 💗
Greetings from South Africa! You are a good teacher and have an amazing voice clear to understand and i love you for this tutorial. I just like to know the waist how to divide by what number. Appreciate your efforts in helping us.much love 💗💗
Beautiful. Where did you purchase the fabric? I live in CT and Joanne fabric is most popular here. Are there any websites you could recommend? Thank you kindly.💕
Thank you! The white scalloped shirt is from J.Crew, but I do have a tutorial on how to make this shirt. Scroll through my video list and you'll find it.
I love how much hand finishing you did on this skirt. No cutting corners, and lots of attention to detail. The finished skirt speaks for itself. Lovely x
Your waist measurement divided by pie (3.14) with give you the diameter for a half circle skirt. The link in the description box will direct you to the worksheet I made to accompany this video. It has the math and diagrams for both a half circle and full circle skirt. I hope this helps.
The info is on page 3 of the PDF. It says this: "The waistband is a long rectangle. For a 1.5” finished waistband width, cut a 4” width of fabric. The length will be your waist measurement plus 4”. Example: 28 inch waist + 4” = 32” length. Your rectangle would be 32 by 4 inches." The extra 4 inches is more than enough for seam allowance and overlap. It can also be shortened.
Very well done, except the zip part, I don’t understand why you make it so complicated, I literally had to go watch another tutorial about how to sew an invisible because your technique is time consuming and complicated. Otherwise, great tutorial, it was well explained and detailed!
Thank you! This zipper technique is definitely not the fastest, but it is thorough. This ensures that the plaid lines will match on the first try. It is more of a couture method. It is also useful for a center back seam on a dress because the waistline seams will match up perfectly. There are so many ways to put in a zipper. Some ways are easy but can compromise alignment. Some ways are time consuming. Find the method that works best for you and run with it.
Hi, I am so happy I stumbled across your video, you are so clear with your explanation, I have watched many videos on circle skirts but found yours to very thorough. I am new to sewing and really appreciate you taking time out from your busy schedule and helping beginners like myself. I understood every step, so Thank you.
This is an incredibly meticulous and detailed tutorial. I am so impressed of the quality of your work and the amount of attention you give to every little detail, so that the final product is perfection. I already hit the Subscribe button, thank you for sharing with us your skills!
This is easily the best how to I've ever seen. I take fashion / sewing classes but I'm always looking for more knowledge or tips, so I watch a lot of sewing videos. Thank you for all the explanations and additions of *why* you do things that way. So many little details that usually get passes over - it is very helpful and exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!!!
Hi, I like your Chanel so much that I subscribed. I will try to make this lovely skirt soon. I’m happy because your instructions are amazing. I was gonna ask, if you could upload a video soon that shows us how to make a romper and jumper for toddlers. “newborn to 7T”. Thank you :)
Paige Handmade that would be great! Just more clothing tutorials overall would be awesome. I’ve been looking for a good a line wrap skirt with buttons tutorial but still haven’t found one here on TH-cam, hopefully you make something similar😄
Excellent tutorial. I made one a few years ago but have never worn it because the hem was so uneven. Of the many videos, You are the only person to acknowledged and addressed the problem with the hem, also the instructions were very clear.
Hi dear thanks a lot for this beautiful video u really do have a lot of patience to explain all this peacefully God bless u dear n may u grow gracefully thx once again.best of luck n plz do come up vt more beau.. videos
love this video! I'm making this same exact thing for my pattern making class and was so confused about sewing the lining, thanks so much! make more vids!
Very good demonstration. Love watching your video. If possible, would you mind to do a video on how to make cullote pants please. I followed Winifred Aldrich book but it turns out wrong.
I'm a new subscriber and love your skirt video! just a question. What is the length measurement on the waist band? I'm not sure if I missed that direction on your video. I'm trying to make a skirt for my niece that's the same waist size as yourself.
subscribed! this is the first vid i've seen where that leveling is mentioned in the making of a circle skirt. The back would always be shorter than the front if it's just sewn straight. love the detail and explanation! is there a thing about including pockets on all skirts (and pants and shirts and everything). want to get into sewing and this has been soooo helpful! lining! waistband! magic zippers!
Hey may I know what kind of fabrics you’d recommend for this type of skirt? Will cotton do? What if I want fabric with more structure but still able to ‘flow’? Thanks!
Thank you very much for such detailed explanation! Anyway, it'll be better if the camera may zoom in at some really subtle steps, such as while sewing the zipper. Love from Malaysia!
Yes, a bit much to explain in a comment but you definitely can do it. Remember to sew with a stretch stitch (zigzag for example) when working with stretchy material. Woven fabric won't work for this formula because it wouldn't fit over the hips.
Best tutorial I've seen - very clear. Thank you! Although the calculations were pretty accurate (worksheet was SUPER helpful), I ended up adding a 2 inches to make a less tight fit around the waist when sitting down.
I was unable to follow the link to get the worksheet. It took me to your home page, but then Instagram. I do not have an Instagram account and had trouble creating one. Is there a simple way I can get this worksheet. Really want to have a go at this skirt.
Thank you for making such a detailed tutorial! I look forward to making this and have already subscribed to your channel! But I have a question: how can I go about making this skirt with directional fabric? Do you have any tips?
You're welcome! I would make the front (the fold) be where the directional pattern is oriented correctly. The only way to get the front and the back to have correct orientation is two cut the front and back separately. There would be two side seams and the center back seam.
Okay. I don't know if you will see this, but I have to type it. This was absolutely the best tutorial on sewing anything I have seen on TH-cam. I am in the very beginning of sewing, literally learning all of the basic stitches but watch dress/skirt tutorials because that is my goal. Not one has ever mentioned letting the fabric hang (I've seen that and thought it was for show) or using pi to determine waist measurement. I think I heard one person mention washing fabric before working with it. And getting on the floor actually showing, forget about it. This was precise and wonderfully demonstrated. I can actually follow this and not get lost in the fabric. You're a great teacher. Thank you sooo much, and you're the one I subscribed to. Again, thanks.
Thank you :) very nice, very complex tutorial. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to, and as for me as a not native speaker everyword was understood. On tuesday I am going to buy a fabric and make this skirt :) thank you again
I really appreciate your comment. Although this skirt is more complex with the zipper and lining, it is still completely achievable. If you have an Instagram and want to tag me in a picture of your skirt I would love to see it. Have fun making it!
I've made two skirts using this video, it's one of the best tutorials I have seen. It's the first time that my zippers don't look terrible, haha. Thank you so much!
After watching several tutorial videos I chose to follow yours (being the most thorough and easy to follow) and did so step by step as I made my skirt- being a complete beginner at sewing garments; I was thrilled to discover your teaching source as it has given me the best possible start. Thank you Paige, I feel indebted!
I followed your tutorial and managed to make myself a skirt! Made lots of mistakes due to my lack of basic sewing skills but the video is really good and easy to follow. Thanks!
I. Am. Shocked… My zipper is so freaking invisible!! I am new to this, and everything I’ve made so far has been pretty wonky, but not this skirt! Following your directions has been a game changer! I still have to do the waistband (I’m literally in the middle of this project right now lol) but it already looks so good! Thank you, 2019 you!!
Please help I'm super confused. I took my waist measurement 34 inches divided by pi rounded to the nearest 1/4 in is 11 inches which is what I cut the fabric at. I cut the waitband at 38x4 inches per the workbook. Yet the waistband is much smaller than the skirt. Did I do measurements wrong? How do I edit this so the skirt waist is smaller?
It may be that the bias parts of the skirt waist have stretched. Stitch a basting line along the waist of the skirt and ease the fabric into the waistband.
Of all tutorials I've watched, yours is my favorite!! Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks on how to make this half circle skirt and the free chart! You're an awesome teacher! 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖❤✂️
Hi Paige! This is awesome. You completely demystified the half circle skirt. I love lined skirts and you have shown how to do it. Your explanations are so clear and concise. I'm so trying this. Thank you!
Paige, that was so well explained. I make my wife's clothes, I think she'll love this. Thank you for all your hard work and generosity in sharing. Greetings from North Wales, UK.
Am I the only one having problems with attaching the waistband to the skirt? Just the pinning part. There's always bumps in either one of the parts and I'm not really sure which way would be the best. Paige just skips that part
When you are pinning the waistband to the skirt the basting stitches come in handy. Just pin frequently; whenever I run into a tricky curve I tend to use more pins than usual and it helps. When you sew the waistband on have the skirt side up so you can watch it to ensure not folds get stitched. Finally, with the hand stitching I use a fell stitch. I hope this helps you in your skirt making!
Love this pattern and tutorial. I have a check I want to make into a 1/2 circle and didn't fancy trying to match on multiple seams, so the one panel method looks perfect!
Can someone please explain, I don't understand why you don't need to add SA to the radius measurement how is there enough space to add the zip? TIA
You are cutting out your waist measurement and then stitching half an inch away from the cut line. That increases the diameter of the circle and gives you enough seam allowance. Hope that helps.

What if your fabric is long enough, but not wide enough. I can’t get it any wider and I don’t know what to do with the fabric I have.

Please help I'm super confused. I took my waist measurement 34 inches divided by pi rounded to the nearest 1/4 in is 11 inches which is what I cut the fabric at. I cut the waitband at 38x4 inches per the workbook. Yet the waistband is much smaller than the skirt. Did I do measurements wrong? How do I edit this so the skirt waist is smaller?
It may be that the bias parts of the skirt waist have stretched. Stitch a basting line along the waist of the skirt and ease the fabric into the waistband.
Of all tutorials I've watched, yours is my favorite!! Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks on how to make this half circle skirt and the free chart! You're an awesome teacher! 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖❤✂️
Thank you for taking time to write such a nice comment. I'm so glad it was helpful to you.
Hi Paige! This is awesome. You completely demystified the half circle skirt. I love lined skirts and you have shown how to do it. Your explanations are so clear and concise. I'm so trying this. Thank you!
Wow, what a compliment! I'm so glad you found this video and I hope you do make one. It is such a great staple item.
This was not only very very helpful, but also lovely to watch. Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for writing to me!
Paige, that was so well explained. I make my wife's clothes, I think she'll love this. Thank you for all your hard work and generosity in sharing. Greetings from North Wales, UK.
You're welcome!
Wow! Sounds romantic and beautiful! ❤️I would love to have something made by my husband for me!
Am I the only one having problems with attaching the waistband to the skirt? Just the pinning part. There's always bumps in either one of the parts and I'm not really sure which way would be the best. Paige just skips that part
Also, how does the hand stitch work with which I'm supposed to attach the waistband to the skirt?
When you are pinning the waistband to the skirt the basting stitches come in handy. Just pin frequently; whenever I run into a tricky curve I tend to use more pins than usual and it helps. When you sew the waistband on have the skirt side up so you can watch it to ensure not folds get stitched. Finally, with the hand stitching I use a fell stitch. I hope this helps you in your skirt making!
@@PaigeHandmade Thanks so much! Will try those tips with the next "practice" skirt I make :D
Your voice just calms me down 🥰
