ive been seeing this skirt trend around & sometimes they are hard to find in certain stores or your size.

well now u can create your own unique circle skirt with only a few materials! you can make a skirt for around $5-$10 if you search for good fabric deals!

MATERiALS
-about 1 to 4 yards of fabric depending on what size you are.
-appx 1-2 yards of 3-inch wide elastic depending on your waist size
-sewing machine ♥
-cardboard for pattern
-scissors
-ruler
-chalk/pen/marker

quick tip! use one of these fabrics! :)
*Rayon
* Polyester Charmuese
* Simple Cotton
* Thin Corduroy
* Lightweight Wool
Many fabrics will work for this project. Lightweight fabrics will be more bouncy, and synthetic rayons and polyester will slink and spin around beautifully. The gray fabric we're using today is rayon with a subtle visible weave pattern.

first, use the elastic and measure around your waist, where u want the top part of the skirt to be. measure that size and add 1 inch for seaming room (:
ex) if your waist measures 18, cut 19 inches

now get your cardboard and lay it out on a flat table or floor. find the center & use ur ruler to mark your waist size. add 2 inches for "give" room.
ex) since ur waist measured 19 in. in the above step, use ur ruler and mark where 21 since its 2 inches more!

using a ruler, measure on your thigh/leg how far you want your skirt to go down.

say you measured 9 inches; then where u marked the 21 inches on the cardboard use your ruler and go straight out from that point & mark where 9 inches is.
do the 9 inch mark all around so it creates a large circle.

then cut out your pattern when you finished measuring it :) cut out ur waist size center as well. now ur pattern should look like a donut haha :)

place ur pattern on the fabric. make sure ur fabric is nice & smooth & on a flat surface. using a pen or chalk outline your circle & inner waist circle u cut out.

then using fabric scissors, cut it out! :DD

next get out ur sewing machine. and sew ur elastic waist band onto the inner rim of your cut out circle in ur fabric :) u may need ur mom for this if u dont know how to use one :D lol

and now try it on :) hopefully it fits you correctly! add cute bows or buttons for a cute look!
