This is not the best - but if you are yardage-limited, it will do.

This is a better "circle" skirt - take more yardage, but looks MUCH better on stage!

The Yardage

  • Beginners Simple Circle Skirt - 4 1/2 yards - gives you a front and back that are 1/2 circle each. (Make the back part by piecing together two quarter-circles.)
  • Better Circle Skirt - 6 2/3 yards - gives you a skirt with 1/2 circle in front, and a full circle in back -- much better for twirling and swirling on stage! Use one of the half circles for your front piece, and attach the two "quarter-circles" to either side of the half-circle that you'll use in the back.

 

My Dearest Darling God(dess) Daughter –

One of the many reasons that you studied trigonometry in high school.

Detailed directions forthcoming -- this should get you started.

Happy sewing, my love! – Alay'nya
