Are you in search of a fun and versatile addition to your wardrobe? Look no further than a flared skirt! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced seamstress, creating a circle skirt is a rewarding project that allows you to express your personal style. In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through the step-by-step process of making your very own flared skirt.

Materials You Will Need:

  • Fabric of your choice
  • Measuring tape
  • Scissors
  • Sewing machine or needle and thread
  • Elastic or zipper for the waistband
  • Pins

Step 1: Taking Accurate Measurements

The first and vital step in making a flared skirt is to take accurate measurements of your waist and desired skirt length. Measure your waist at its natural point using a measuring tape and write down the measurement. Next, decide the length you want your skirt to be, measuring from your waist down to your preferred length.

Step 2: Calculating Fabric Requirements

Once you have your measurements, it’s time to determine how much fabric you will need. To calculate the fabric requirements, you will use the following formula:

Fabric Length = Desired Length + 2 inches (for hemming) + Waist to Floor Length

For the fabric width, you will need to take your waist measurement and multiply it by 6.28. This will give you the total fabric width required to create a perfect circle skirt.

Step 3: Cutting and Sewing

Now that you have your measurements and fabric requirements, it’s time to cut and sew your flared skirt. Follow these steps:

  1. Place your fabric on a flat surface and fold it in half.
  2. Using the fabric width you calculated, mark the radius of your circle skirt on the folded fabric, measuring out from the folded corner.
  3. Cut along the marked line, creating a half-circle shape.
  4. Next, fold and sew the waistband by folding down about 1 inch of fabric, pinning it in place, and sewing it using a straight stitch. Leave a small opening to insert the elastic or zipper.
  5. After the waistband is sewn, hem the bottom of the skirt by folding up about 1 inch of fabric, pinning it, and sewing it using a straight stitch.
  6. If using elastic, insert it into the waistband opening and sew it securely. If using a zipper, follow the instructions provided with the zipper for proper installation.
  7. Finally, try on your new flared skirt and make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit.
