A while ago, I asked in Sparkly Belly’s FB group what is the biggest challenge of making circle skirts.
Can you guess the most popular answer?
It was hemming. Making an even hem around a circle skirt can be very challenging.
Or you thought you made an even hem. Then a few days later, it's looking wonky!
So in this tutorial, I’ll share with you do’s and don’ts of making an even hem for your circle skirts.
Let’s get started!

Hi I’m having issues with the back being higher than the front. At what point do I measure extra for your backside allowance. Does that question make sense??

What were you using to measure and guide the cut?

@sparklybelly Жыл бұрын

A simple ruler would do 😊

@justabout6979 2 жыл бұрын

how many of these steps can you skip if your fabric wasn't nearly as stretchy. For a less stretchy woven fabric as well as a knit fabric(i really doubt the knit fabric will change after being hung up or within seconds of your test cut)

@sparklybelly 2 жыл бұрын

Good question! When I make a skirt about of stretch fabric, I sew the hem at the same time as I sew the rest of the skirt because it doesn't stretch like woven. If you find that your fabric doesn't stretch much, you could skip the hanging and cutting, but I'd still store the skirt flat or rolled up instead of hanging. Woven fabric always has the risk of stretching out over time. Hope this helps! 😊

I have a few swing tops but their to long so I’ve been trying to cut it evenly no luck it comes out a lot shorter on the sides than the front HELP !

@sparklybelly 5 ай бұрын

Is it possible that the front side is stretching out? If the skirt is cut on the bias, it's easy to stretch out, so when you store it, it's better to fold it and lay it flat instead of hanging. Is the front side still too long for you? Is there still room to cut? If you send me a photo to mao@sparklybelly.com, I'll be happy to look at it and offer suggestions 😊

How many layers/circles do you cut for one skirt?

@sparklybelly 3 жыл бұрын

Good question! At the minimum, I use 2 half-circles for 1 circle skirt. But if the fabric is too sheer for my liking, I make 2 layers of that. And if I want more volume, I use 3 half-circles per layer. :)

What if cut the top part, waist area? Instead of the bottom part? I think that will be better

@sparklybelly Жыл бұрын

Good question! It can work, and some people do cut from the waist to shorten their skirts. But when you are trying to make an even hem, especially for skirts made out of fabric that shifts a lot (e.g. chiffon), it's easier to trim from the bottom 😊
