How to Make a Batty Gathered Tulle Circle Skirt - Halloween Sewing Tutorial

Velcome, my crafty friends, to another WhatTheCraft BOOtorial!
Today's project is this bewitching bat skirt. I love how the layers of tulle give the impression of the bats fluttering in midair.
And this skirt style can go way beyond Halloween! You could do a red skirt with little hearts all over it. Or a white skirt with snowflakes. Flowers. Smiley faces. You know what I always say. Get wacky!
But that's enough chitchat. Let's get it on!

Holy bat balls😂😂😂😂.. Thank you for the awesome tutorial, I'll be using this style for a Christmas theme skirt❤️

[@FlickiChicki]

I made something very similar from your circle skirt pattern. Only because I'm Captain Lazy and blah on dealing with hanging out bias, mine is from squares. Purple liner, black shimmer tulle, spiders on it. But now I need a bat version.

That sounds amazing!

"Viola!" 🤣 I thought I was the only one who says that! I started saying it not so much to be funny but as a way to satisfy my own mind against all the "Wahlah"s running loose on the world! Getting people to laugh or give me a funny look is just a bonus!

I've honestly been waiting for someone to correct me. 🤣

if I wanted to make my top layer about 4x my waist, how would one determine that it is 156ins [since tmplate "only" goes to 88] &thank you so much for this it is so cuteee *I am now watching the pixie skirt tutorial* so thank you again

[@smarmyclothes]

156/6.28 = 24.8. That's your radius. Add that to your length number to get the "cutting length" and then you can figure out how much fabric you'll need. I also show how to make a circle skirt template from scratch in this video for when it comes time to cut your fabric: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGOxoalmfL16bK8

@@smarmyclothes thanks you, yeah your pixie skirt explained it wonderfully 💜💚🧡🖤

[@purplesunflowercat]

@@smarmyclothes polyester is kind of like spandex right? would that also be a good choice for the lining?

[@smarmyclothes]

@@purplesunflowercat It depends on what kind of polyester - there are a lot of different kinds of fabric that contain polyester. Some would make a good lining. Some probably would not. 😅
