How Circle Skirts Work
Es talla una faldilla circular d'un tros de tela circular amb un forat per a la cintura. El radi de la cintura determina la mida del cercle interior i el radi exterior inclou la longitud de la faldilla desitjada més la doblada. Les diferents fraccions d'un cercle creen diferents nivells de flama i plenitud.
Rwaist = cintura / (2 × π × fraction)
fraction: 1 = full, 0.75 = ¾, 0.5 = half, 0.25 = quarter
4 Skirt Types
Full Circle (360°)
Maximum flare and twirl. Uses most fabric. Great for dance skirts and formal wear.
¾ Circle (270°)
Beautiful drape with less bulk. Requires one seam. Nice compromise between fullness and practicality.
Half Circle (180°)
Moderate flare, very wearable. Uses about half the fabric of a full circle. Perfect for everyday.
¼ Circle / A-Line (90°)
Minimal flare, classic A-line. Most fabric-efficient and easy to sew. Needs two panels.
Sewing Tips
- Always cut on the bias (diagonal grain) for the best drape.
- Let the skirt hang for 24 hours before hemming — bias-cut fabric stretches.
- Use a narrow hem (rolled or baby hem) for the smoothest finish on curved edges.
- Add 1-2 inches to length if using stretchy fabric.
- Add a separate straight-grain waistband rather than folding the circle fabric.
Notes importants
- El marge de costura s'afegeix a la circumferència de la cintura abans de calcular el radi.
- S'afegeix un marge de vora a la longitud de la faldilla (radi exterior).
- L'amplada de la tela afecta el recompte de panells i el disseny de tall.
