 I would like to make a skirt the same as in the picture. How would I go about it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Gathered Circle Skirt

Dear LadyMoonShine,

To make a skirt like the one in the picture, you need to cut two circle skirts. Then cut along the length of each one and sew the two circle skirts together; if your circle skirts does not have any seam lines.

Once the two circle skirts are sewn together, you can gather the waistline to make it fit your waist circumference. This way you will have a gathered skirt that looks like the picture you posted.

If you want the skirt to be even fuller, you can cut more circles and join them together.

Test your skirt by using an inexpensive stiff lining fabric.

Happy sewing,
