As I said yesterday I have been on a skirt making binge lately. And the skirts I have been making the most of are circle skirts...mainly because I can have one cut and sewn in less than an hour. When I started sewing I avoided circle skirts because every pattern and tutorial I saw had this math diagram with pi...and radius...and circumference....and then my brain turned off and I decided that I would just choose a different skirt to sew. Because even though I like to sew and craft and such ... View the Post
