Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing has a schematic to make a circle skirt. I had material left over from the capes I made last summer, so here I go.
I had very little pattern paper, so I made my right angle in one corner.
And then raided the wrapping paper for the rest of the pattern.
Here are my two pattern pieces, the waistband and the skirt.
I moved the chairs out of the way to clean and then left them while I was working on the skirt. Sentinel found a new seat to sit on.
Sadly, while I had thread and the material, I did not have a zipper, so this is as far as the circle skirt has gotten.
Look at you, always coming up with the clever solutions. I would have never thought to use leftover wrapping paper, even though I’ve always got plenty around. That material is very shiny! Cute skirt.
