I used to think that a gathered skirt was the easiest skirt to sew. But I may have changed my tune. A circle skirt is possibly even easier!….especially if you leave the elastic exposed.
I never realized how easy the concept was until I sewed Lucy’s Put Me In the Zoo dress.
Of course I haven’t reinvented the wheel here. In fact, if you’ve ever made a poodle skirt before, it’s pretty much the same. Your fabric is cut in a circle, like a donut. Then the elastic is sewn on top to create a waistband. The circle hangs right at your waist and allows the fabric to drape beautifully around you.
Once you’ve created your pattern, you can whip up 4 skirts in an hour! Make them for your kids! Make one for you! Make one for every birthday gift coming up. These are definitely my new go-to present.
You can find the complete Circle Skirt Tutorial HERE (and in the TUTORIALS link at the top of the blog):
Happy Spinning!
