- In this video I show you how to make a classic circle skirt with added pockets. Because its 2020 and everything needs more pockets.
They're a classic for a reason, they look great and are so much fun to twirl in. With a few easy steps (and a lot of pins) this tutorial will show you how to make your own in no time at all.
In this video I will show you:
- how to create a perfect pattern using your own measurements
- how easy it is to add in a pocket or two
-styling ideas

Thank you for watching x
Can't wait to see more videos like this! 🌸😊
Thank you ❤️
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen on making a circle skirt. Thank you!
Thank you! That's a lovely thing to read. Glad you thought it was useful ☺️
The tutorial worked out really well and omg POCKETS!! and so my skirt came out great!
I'm so glad! Everything needs more pockets!
I really liked your humor and the pace of the video. Some steps were a bit too fast for me, but I will defintely keep watching :-)
Thank you so much! ☺️ Sorry if you felt the pace a bit too fast. Does slowing down the video in the settings help?
Or is there a part in particular I could help with?
Thank you so much for this easy to understand vid. I will be making a poodle skirt for a cosplay this year, and this vid has given me confidence that i can do it. This will be my first ever piece of clothing. I usually make plushies.
This will be a snap then! Plushies are so much harder IMO.
What cosplay is it?

Think of all the bugs that could fit in those pockets!
I am so so excited to start this as my next project! I love that you lay everything out on the floor same as me, beautiful work!!!
It is my dream to one day own a table suitable for cutting! Dare to dream right!
So glad the video inspired you 😊Hope the project goes well!
Fantastic and easy to follow along with tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this. Also, I just want to say,.......please tell that kitty that I love them and give them extra skritches from me. Thank you.
I will be receiving the fabric I ordered in a couple of weeks and look forward to attempting to make this skirt.
I'm so glad you found this easy to follow. What fabric did you order?
Poppy says thank you for the fusses and thanks you for recognising her as the rightful star of the video.
@@TheUnevenStitch I got some Halloween fabric that's these beautiful skulls and roses! It's all black and grey, but I'm going to dye the roses different shades of red.
@@nawtyabizness9677 That sounds amazing! I hope it turns out well x
So helpful!! Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you! Happy Sewing 🪡
My favorite kind of skirt, the old school classic circle skirt.
Mine too! They're so fun to twirl in 😊
@@TheUnevenStitch yes they are especially the full ones.
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS!!! OMG YOU GEM
Thank you! Was it the pockets that drew you in? That's the clincher for me whenever Im looking for a tutorial 😅
@@TheUnevenStitch it was the pockets that drew me in. I thank you so much for this!
@@shanajknott2432 Amazing! I dont buy a garment if it doesnt have pockets or if I can't add them. If you give this a go let me. Know how it turns out!
most underrated skirt video
What a compliment! Thank you!
Great video. You made me laugh 😹 thanks!
Lovely skirt! And your commentary is quite helpful and also amusing. You remind me of one of my dear friends. :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and I reminded you of someone you actually liked 😅
*Amazing. keep it up.*
Thank you. Thats the plan ❤️
Thank you
Perfect tutorial!! Just what I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
Figuring out the pockets threw me for a loop at first because I didn't know if you were pinning the pockets on on the "wrong" side. It was hard to tell for me because tbe fabric was a solid color...
I figured it out though and was soooo happy!
Sorry it wasn't clear. Glad you managed to figure it out though! Let me know how yours goes 😊
Hello! Thanks so much for this tutorial I'm going to be using it soon, just ordering my fabric now, the website is useful and says I need fabric that is 150cm across but not the length 😂 I'm thinking of getting 3 meters just to be safe, do you think this would be enough? Cheers 😊
That's so exciting to hear! 3m would be more than enough. I think I had 2m of the fabric. I always tend to buy more than I need though as 1) I'm overly cautious
2) What if I go wrong??? (I think this is the same mentality that makes me pack 12 pairs of pants for a three day trip- just in case!)
and
3) If you have leftover fabric you have more fabric to make more things 😆
Hope this response got to you in time. Keep me posted on how it goes!
Question, would it work with an elastic waist? I've never sewn a zip before and I'm a little nervous
It definitely would but you'd need to make the waistband a little wider to use as your starting measurement so it could stretch as you take it on and off. I recommend using your hip circumference rather than waist. I do this exact process in my bedsheet transformation video if you'd like to see (just with a half circle skirt rather than a full one).
Zips are definitely a bit scary and fiddly I agree. I get my students at school to practice on offcuts of fabric before moving onto the real thing.
Hope this helps!
On the website did you use the half skirt?
Full circle 🙂
how much fabric do you need
Hi so I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m working on a skirt for a bigger gal and the circumference of the skirt when all stitched up is much larger than the waist band, Do I just need to gather the skirt?
Does the waistband fit or is that too small? If too small make another waistband that will fit the skirt and the wearer.
If it's just the skirt that's the issue I'd suggest two options:
1. If you don't mind adding volume at the waist then gathers or pleats would work. Darts might also be a shout if it wouldn't effect how the skirt fits over the tummy.
2. If you don't want more volume at the waistband- you could just move one of the side seams in until the waist is the right circumference. It would mean resetting the pocket but it's probably less work than spacing out pleats or gathers.
Hope this helps!
@@TheUnevenStitch thank you

How did you make the two quater peices? Is it just the half peice cut in half?
It is 🙂 sorry that wasn't clear.
@@TheUnevenStitch thank you 😊
great tutorial. btw....your machine needs oiling. Then it'll sound quieter :D
It was in the middle of a lockdown so couldn't get my hands on any. I do agree I need to get better at maintenance though 😅
The waistband was going to be the death of me! I sewed it FIVE TIMES until I got in on right, last time I sewed it in the front fully opened backwards, turned it around and top stitched it so the back is on properly I swear I almost gave up 😂
