◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦◦

A while ago, I asked in Sparkly Belly’s FB group what is the biggest challenge of making circle skirts.

Can you guess the most popular answer?

It was hemming. Making an even hem around a circle skirt can be very challenging.

Or you thought you made an even hem. Then a few days later, it's looking wonky!

So in this tutorial, I’ll share with you do’s and don’ts of making an even hem for your circle skirts.

Let’s get started!

Hi I’m having issues with the back being higher than the front. At what point do I measure extra for your backside
allowance. Does that question make sense??

How many layers/circles do you cut for one skirt?

[justabout]

how many of these steps can you skip if your fabric wasn't nearly as stretchy. For a less stretchy woven fabric as well as a knit fabric(i really doubt the knit fabric will change after being hung up or within seconds of your test cut)

Does anyone have a suggestion for hemming an oval handkerchief skirt? I need 4 inches off just the longer sections!!!! For a lady!

[rosemarytorres]

I have a few swing tops but their to long so I’ve been trying to cut it evenly no luck it comes out a lot shorter on the sides than the front HELP !

[Jannat-fq]

What if cut the top part, waist area?
Instead of the bottom part?

I think that will be better

Nice video, the only thing I wished you would have touched base on is transitioning from front to back. Alot of us are wondering how to go about it. Thank you

[janicefornadel]
