I've found that a roll of brown paper from Lowe's painting section makes great inexpensive patterns. I had originally bought it to cover my hardwood floors while painting, but I had YARDS of it left over. it makes very sturdy patterns. you can also use medical bed paper rolls, but the roll is not as long as the painters floorpaper.

Mary Hohman, thank you for this tip!!!! Now I know I can save money by buying painter's paper instead of the expensive stuff.

Do you have any videos that show how to make uneven tattered layers of different material for a circle or A skirts? For example like gypsy or boho skirts ?

Hi Sparkly Belly, I adore your tutorials! I've also noticed that you have good audio in your videos. Would you mind sharing what kind of microphone you use to record your audio?

To fox w respect is 1/4 pattern place on a fold to make 1/2 circle.

@fox36975 9 жыл бұрын

this is awesome. I am wondering, does pattern do one side skirt... should be 4 fabric folding to create full skirt? wish have caption, i am deaf and want to know more details.

@sparklybelly 9 жыл бұрын

fox36975 Thank you! Sure, of course, I will look into adding the caption option to my videos. The pattern is for a quarter of a circle skirt. If you are making a short circle skirt, you can fold fabric twice, trace the pattern, and it'll have 4 of the quarter sections all in one (which I think is what you mean :) ). For belly dance costumes, the skirt is long, so I was only able to do a half-circle at a time by folding the fabric once. So you'll need at least 2 of these half circles to make one circle skirt. Hope this helps! If you'd like, you can check out my blog here, and you can see the whole scripts and snapshots from the video :) www.sparklybelly.com/how-to-make-a-circle-skirt-pattern/

My circle skirt was one panel. I took 5 1/2 yards of green and gold paisley brocade and stitched the raw edges together and cut elastic to my waist size and sewed it to the skirt.

+Faerie Bauer Cool! I love brocade skirts :)

@lillyhayworth9039 8 жыл бұрын

+Sparkly Belly it was for a Princess Jasmine costume:) It made brocade one of my favorite fabrics. I just love how it flows when I twirl!

Hi Sparkly Belly, How can I modify this so that there are two slits instead of just one? Thanks!

@chefclementine 4 жыл бұрын

Sarah Farmer I think you just hem the skirt, and leave the to ends of the half circle open. You’ll have to sort of ruffle the middle and sew it as such to the elastic... if you want that bunched look

@EmiE91 2 жыл бұрын

I did a half, a quarter, and two eighths. I sewed the two eights to either side of the half, and let the quarter be by itself in the front

@pinkpasielypjs 8 жыл бұрын

just hint. if you go ahead and sew up the caseing and the sides of the skirt at the same time. then sew down the casing leaving a one inch opening to put the elastic through, then sew closed the one inch opening. you will have less fraying and issues. the open casing throws off the casing closing a bit and leaves it open to fraying quicker. but love this tutorial. making my first one tomorrow for a friend of mine. but i work with chiffon a lot and this is a tip i have found works better. :)

Should you add a seam allowance when plugging in the measurements for the circle skirt in the little calculator?

@Maaaaaaaanders 4 жыл бұрын

ColeMa'm I’m sure you could, but the curve does stretch after you cut the fabric to the pattern, so I’m sure it wouldn’t make much of a difference unless you have a large seam allowance. (Like if you take a panel and give a slight tug, it does have a little give to it)

How can i make a high waisted skirt, but without having too much fabric bundling up around the waist?

@Jaisha26 7 жыл бұрын

can you help me understand? I've seen people measure the full circle skirt and tutorials like yours that measure half the skirt two separate times and then see them together. What's the difference? Does one flare more than the other?

@aurorad3522 7 жыл бұрын

Jaisha26 It's more to do with the limitation of the width of your fabric. if you wanted to have your skirt be ankle length this method will make that easier. If you wanted a rather short skirt, then the other method you mentioned is also easy. As for flow, that really depends on the fabric.

I didn't understand everything because I don't speak English very well but at least I will try to make my skirt. Hopefully only by seeing how you do it I could maybe reach it.

+isabel Samora That's just pix2=6.28 and if you follow the calculation, it works for both inches and cm :)

@nuggetsaurusrex 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not clear on the instructions.. you say for the casing to take hip measurement plus 4.. but you have to half circle panels to sew to. Are you just cutting the casing in half and sewing on to one half and the other to the other half?

@amayabrooke3428 5 ай бұрын

I think she's actually cutting two rectangular pieces and forgot to specify that step. Also, this pattern will work on calico, or cotton as well. You need to pre shrink the fabric by washing and drying, which will eliminate the need to hang the fabric for up to 10 days.
