Circle Skirts by Katy & Laney | Project | Sewing / Skirts. Wool circle skirts are just the latest in a growing body of evidence that Laney and I are merging into one being.

You’re really spoiled for choice when it comes to circle skirt tutorials. I used the By Hand London tutorial and Laney used one in Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing. I also found a circle skirt tutorial on my new favorite DIY blog a pair & a spare. Oh wait just found another circle skirt tutorial by Casey… Well, you get the picture. Blogged here.

Then I found this great tutorial on YouTube for how to make a big t-shirt a fitted shirt!

How to make an easy Mini Skirt, directions for making an easy skirt, learn to sew, making skirts. DIY AW11 Balmain Inspired Mini. T Shirt Shrug. Striped Cardigan. I decided to go completley out of my comfort zone and make a piece of clothing that wasn't a skirt. I have always stayed away from making a shirt or any sort of top, simply because it looks really hard and complicated.

But I had a ton of this cute striped knit fabric that I had picked up from the fabric district a while ago and figured I would give it a try. It didn't even take a full yard of fabric. It worked! I was thrilled that it actually turned out. Basically I just took one of my favorite cardigans (I love how long it is), and traced each piece of it using muslin. I didn't take too many pictures while I was making it, because I wasn't really planning on it turning out right. I folded the fabric in half and made the stripes go vertical for the piece that goes around the neck and down the front. I had some gold buttons that I was originally planning on adding, but once I got this far, I thought that anything else might be a little much. I couldn't believe how easy it was!

To make your straps, you need to decide how wide to make them. To determine strap length, you need to make them 1.5 times your height.

So, got that? To make your pattern, get packing paper, freezer paper, or a bunch of pieces of computer paper taped together. Then I measured 18″ down from that and made another line for my skirt length. Cut out on your lines. Next, cut a waistband 10″ tall and the length of your waist you measured. Now for construction.
