My first spinny skirt! Had to re-learn some math but it's done lol

Hannah loves it

Don't mind the mismatch... we don't have much solid attire right now, need to get working on that I think! LOL





Ignore the rug that needs vacuuming greatly!


Thanks for looking!

That looks wonderful!! I really want to make a spinny skirt for Jacki, but everytime I read how to do it, I'm even more confused than before I started.

i folded the fabric wrong and had to cut two pieces. so there are two side seams. oops. i forget how to fold it. i made one circle skirt a LONG time ago and have no idea how I did it. But if this helps, Hannah's hips are 21" and the radius is 3 1/3in. Took me forever to figure out how to figure out the radius of a circumferance cause I was doing it right all along, but the number sounded too high. I was just forgetting that I didn't divide in half again lol Wasted all that time

It's a nay-a-thon at your house, lol. Is that red/pink stripe I see Chloe wearing in the corner of the second shot? That's really cute. I had some of those dots and couldn't figure out what to do with them. That really works. Oh, and next time, fold the fabric in quarters.
