Wow... I just made a full circle skirt and was a bit disappointed with the fullness of it and I did not know about a double circle skirt. I thought the only way to add more fullness was to pleat it. Thank you so much!

This is the best circle skirt explanation video I have seen. I have watched so many videos about circle skirts but no one breaks it down like you did for all the varieties! Thank you
Thank you for this! So far you're the only person that I've seen who used proper math equations for the measurements. It made so much more sense to see C=2(pi)r and to scale up or scale down that way. Not gonna lie, using math from school made this pretty satisfying since now it's an applicable situation versus a quiz problem wanting you to figure out the circumference of a random boy's walking path going somewhere for no reason LOL. I'm definitely going to be making the double circle skirt!
Thank you for your attention to the wisest use of fabric. Traditional pattern fabric layouts waste so much! While of course you want to keep your grain lines up and down, the layouts they show assume that you're working with a one directional PRINT on that fabric (which is relatively rare), so they keep everything aligned to an unnecessary "up" and "down." They also lay out to the largest size on the pattern, so if you're a size 8 with an 8-14 size pattern, their layout has you wasting a huge amount of cloth!
Your explanation of the fabric layout and the math were incredibly helpful! I've watched so many videos that left me so confused when I knew that it was likely a case of people making things so much more complicated than necessary. You proved it! You're a good teacher!
Oh thank you so much! It's definitely not complicated. When you feel ready, you can also mix it up by making a larger circle skirt to gather or pleat! It makes for REALLY full skirts without having as much material.
This was an AMAZING explanation! I’m designing and creating my own wedding dress and I was stuck on a full circle skirt/double circle skirt. But your explanation and pictures made it easy for me to understand what I want.
Thank you for explaining all of this in a very clear concise way. I’ve watched 10 videos trying to figure out what a double circle skirt was. Thank you again!
That video was amazing! I’m saving it so I can refer to it often. Seriously best circle skirt video out there. Thank you for being so informative and for making this!
Thank you so much. I just heard the term circle skirt so I looked it up and found this video. I have been doing rectangle skirts and gathering only but never getting the flared effect I wanted. This is what I've been looking for I just didn't know it for years. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now I understand the difference between different types of circles. This helps me make better decisions on which skirt will work for me.
Thank you so much for this video, it’s the 5 video I have watched in a row on circle skirts and the first one that has made any sense to me. This was so helpful 😃👏 x
Thank you ❤❤❤ I always wondered if this kind of drafting wasnt possible - ( talk about not even attempting to draft it out) It was a Very Simple. Uncomplicated Lesson. Much Love❤❤❤
Could you please do a video covering waistbands? Not elastic ones, but fabric ones that are crisp or ironed out? I’m a beginner and it’s just really confusing to me, as the videos and guides I’ve watched are too difficult for me, while your explanations are extremely layman friendly.
You can also increase the flair by adding gores. You cut a slit from the outer edge towards the waist, separate it, and add a triangle of fabric. And do it like a few times every however much.
If I want a lot of layers, but not so much as the double circle skirt. Can I try a full and a half circle skirt? Or would it be weard? Or would it be better to do 2 three-quarters skirt? Thanks for your video! It's the best explained one I found on YT!
It would probably save some fabric doing 1.5 circle but your seams wouldn't be at the sides unless you do 2 three-quarters (side seams for pockets ftw!)
Hello! Ive seen soo many videos of how to make doublecircle skirt What I want to know is how to make a double circle skirt on long skirt like waist to floor?
The measurements will be the same, but I'm guessing your issue is the width of the fabric isn't enough to cut out 2 circles. You may end up needing 4 total panels cut like a half circle. Remember the part in the video about cutting a full circle skirt like 2 halves (using the radius of a full circle) just to get the length? You're doing the same thing for a double circle skirt, but you'll end up with 4 half circle panels, using that double circle measurement. (And don't forget to add seam allowance!) I really hope this makes sense! If not, feel free to DM on IG or email me, I can do a quick drawing.
Hi! Mood has a calculator that helps with how much fabric you'll need for your waist, length, and type of circle skirt - check the links in the description!
Hi, love your vidios , but can you simplyfy the measuring of these skirts .the math is a bit over my head . Is it just deviding your waist circumferance 2, 3,4 ,6 and 12 times ?
No you can't because you need to use the base formula to make a circle (which is pi*r^2) I did post a circle skirt calculator in my description so you don't have to do the math!
Hello , just watched your tutorial and I too never did radius and such at school. Could you please direct me to circle skirt calculator would be so grateful. Thank you also for a fantastic tutorial such a lot easier than some as I get a bit baffled after a bit.
That's true! I guess I didn't mention it because at the time I probably would've made it sound confusing. And the seams wouldn't be exactly at the sides or center back....but that's my personal preference too 😅
@@lyrebird9749 Yep! I never thought of it that way - usually I draft on paper, then fold in half for the pattern (+ SA). You're making me want the slightly full but not quite full 3/4 skirt again!
It depends on what type of skirt you want and how much fabric the oversized dress has... I would make the pattern for the skirt you are making first, and see if you have enough material with the oversized dress. If there's enough, you can take it apart to cut and sew! If there's not enough but you like the fabric, you can piece it together (2, 3,4 pieces or add a panel, etc) to make it
No worries! It's only there for people who like to understand why it is that way. Check the description - I linked a few calculators you can use instead!
Yes, there are! This is the mathematical method to show how circle skirts work. I've linked calculators so you don't have to do the math yourself. The biggest point of this video was to compare the differences!

No problem! Yea, I am the same way, I like seeing the equation and understanding why it works that way.
Hope it helps!
The way you explained the 3/4 circle skirt and how to waste less fabric was so helpful! Thank you!
Haha I'm definitely a fan of buying as little as possible to save money and fabric 😆
Thank you. I am new to sewing & self taught. I had no idea there were different formulas for each. That really helps a lot.
Glad to hear!

Super, super lessions! Thank you! You are very high in your knowledge, I have to notice. 👏👏👏
You had me at pockets. Thank you for your explanation.
Pockets are importent!
This is a great explanation, so great I want all the circle skirts now xD
Thank you ❤❤❤

Then you I crease flair and reduce bulk
@@CoverAndQuill24 yes! gores are cool because then you can also play around with contrasting colors :D

Hello, what fabric are you using in this video?
Just regular 100% cotton! Now since it is on a smaller scale, it will seem a little stiffer than on a person.
super helpful! thank you!
I feel you! I don't have a.c in my sewing room and it gets like 100 degrees in there! It's like having free sauna and sewing room in one lol
Ahh! Hopefully you find some time to sew at night!
I made double circle skirts for bellydance over 10 years ago, still my favourite to wear but oh my wow, so much fabric and so heavy haha
The worst part is hemming for me haha!
about how much fabric would i have to buy for a 3/4 skirt? I’m quite small and making the skirt about knee length.

@@ShilynSews Thanks so much!
I make my floor length skirts in 3/4 by doing a half circle selvage to selvage and then a quarter circle with the next square segment.
Can you tell me the maths for the 3/4 skirt? :)

Hi! It's linked in the description box :)
really nice video!
Another way to cut the 3/4 circle is like you cut the full circle, only instead of 1/2 plus 1/2, use 1/2 plus 1/4.
That's true! I guess I didn't mention it because at the time I probably would've made it sound confusing. And the seams wouldn't be exactly at the sides or center back....but that's my personal preference too 😅
@@ShilynSews Ah yes, if you wanted seams to be evenly at both sides you would cut 3/8 + 3/8 pieces.
@@lyrebird9749 Yep! I never thought of it that way - usually I draft on paper, then fold in half for the pattern (+ SA). You're making me want the slightly full but not quite full 3/4 skirt again!
Hi,
I think we can do 3/4 skirt by folding the material into 1/3 instead of 4 folds
Amazing! Thank you!!
Yes! Pockets!
How would I be able to do this with a dress that’s oversized?
It depends on what type of skirt you want and how much fabric the oversized dress has... I would make the pattern for the skirt you are making first, and see if you have enough material with the oversized dress. If there's enough, you can take it apart to cut and sew! If there's not enough but you like the fabric, you can piece it together (2, 3,4 pieces or add a panel, etc) to make it
Can you say where you're located? please 🙏
You had 666 subscribers so I made it 667
Whew! Thank God you saved me from that, could've been a disaster!
Thanks very much, my name is Rosinah,i want make size 36 ok can you send me all the measurement of size 36 to learn please,i just start sawing 🙏
Hello! You can use the circle skirt calculator in the description! It includes 5/8" seam allowance as well!
Using your double idea i can just mathematically continue into smaller digits for more and more volume.
thanks :)
I'm so confused by the math.
Evidently I graduated high school with a 3rd grade level of understanding.
Lol
No worries! It's only there for people who like to understand why it is that way. Check the description - I linked a few calculators you can use instead!
very confusing and long way to go..... sorry i didnt like your method...there are so many other easiest ways out there....
