Twirly wirly skirts

I was asked to make some circular skirts for a dance show.  Yes, of course - let me at 'em!!

Did I know how to make them?

Nope!

Was I willing to learn as I went on?

Abso-bloomin'-lutely!!

Take one complete circle of fabric...

 

And cut out the hole for the waist...

 

Then add a waistband.

 

Easy peasy right?

 

Um, not quite as straightforward as it sounds!!

 

First I had to do some calcuations to figure out how large the waist hole ought to be.  I haven't used maths in earnest in years LOL!

 



 

When that was sorted out I just had to create the waistband and then hem the bottom.

One of the skirts even had a net underskirt too which could stand up on its own!

 

And here they are in action!
