ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks
DeleteI just love you this woman. Thanks for all your nice work and tutorial sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan any body shape wear a circle skirt? Felicia
ReplyDeleteYes, they are very forgiving :)
DeleteGreat tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. As far as making the skirt in non-stretch fabric (knit, faux leather) is stay stitching necessary?
ReplyDeleteit is always a good practice to stay stitch on any curves like waistlines, necklines, armholes etc. even on woven non stretch fabrics.
DeleteThank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Math and I have a rocky relationship and you just made this sooo much easier for me. I plan to use this for peplums too. Thanks again (^_^)
ReplyDeleteLOL, math hates me ;-(
DeleteMimi..I'm sooo excited to make this...I have been patiently waiting for you to do this tutorial and God must have laid it on your heart to humor me with this lol...Thanks a bunch!!!! I'm starting TONIGHT!!!! #makesewingsexy lol
ReplyDeletethink you are very talented! Awesome tutorial!
ReplyDeleteA. My measurements are similar to yours, with that length skirt how much fabric do I need? I'm thinking 2 yrds.
B. I am a super novice at sewing, you lost me at the zipper install. Can I do this withan elastic band. Im using real leather as my fabric (But I'm doing a trial one in muslin)
You will need between 2 and 2.5 yards ;-)
DeleteAwesome!! I discovered your blog a few months ago, and since then I bought a sewing machine and have be learning AND having a blast. Keep up the great mentoring Mimi.
ReplyDeleteThat is so fantastic!!
DeleteHappy Monday Mimi!
ReplyDeleteCute skirt!
Thanks Martha!
DeleteLet's talk about how I watched this entire video completely in awe... I've never sewn anything in my entire life and I am so impressed. Lol!! You're amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Love this. However...how do I account for my ample um....rear? I always have issues w skirts hiking up in the back.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi love this skirt so gonna try it. You're really amazing good in your work. But can you please make a tutorial of a long circle skirt. Greetings
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial!!! love the easy measuring, the easier zipper install method and the waistband tape. Serious AH HA moments there!!! Great job as usual.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI have bought all of your tutorials, i love this one, just one question how many inches is the waistband in length?
Haven't watched the video yet but thanks in advance LOL! I have read many tutorials on circle skirts but none of them have been 100% accurate. Looking forward to seeing your take and anxiously awaiting Kelly's version. She's always the first to complete one of your tutorials. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE everything about this look! You are so fab doll!!!

Leather skirt looks great! Is it hemmed?
ReplyDeleteSecond AJ's comment! If you have some tips or could point us in the direction of books/pins that can help with fit issues that would be great!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make is a bit longer. Do you think 3.5 yards would bring it to just above my knees?
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi! Thanks for this tutorial. I tried to make a circle skirt with some crazy equations once. All I kept thinking is that you shouldn't need to be a mathematician to make a skirt. After all my effort, it was huge and ended up in the garbage. I haven't done another one since, but I'm going to try your method.

ReplyDeleteI've been sewing since I was a teenager and yet I've never made a circle skirt before, out of fear of the pesky math. Your tutorial is so clear and makes it SO easy--I cut out my skirt in five minutes and can't wait to finish it tonight (I'm not sleeping until it's DONE). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCute skirt and thanks for sharing the tutorial. :-)
ReplyDeleteMo
Thank you for the tutorial. I made the skirt with a non-stretch fabric will share pic this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI was getting discouraged about sewing, but this is super cute and THIS makes me want to try again! I'm thinking this may be my weekend project :) I'll let you know how it goes, thanks for posting this doll <3
ReplyDeleteMimi Mimi, I am super duper happy I saw this video.All I am going to say is God will continue to bless you !

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this one, such a easy flirty skirt. And I want those shoes!
ReplyDeleteHello, I am so anxious to make this skirt! Can you please tell me where I can find this fabric. I know this is an old topic, but is it does not matter how old it is, every thing you do is very new to me! Thanks!
