The ONLY video you need to MASTER CIRCLE SKIRTS - THISISKACHI DIY

[@trishanotpatricia7043]

Two days ago, I was actually debating on whether I wanted my circle skirt shell to be full, 1/2, or 1/3. By today, I still couldn't decide. I'm so glad you posted this. Full circle seems like a lot of volume already for a knee-length skirt. After seeing how much volume there is between full and 1/2, I'm sure I want to meet somewhere in the middle and go with 1/3! This video was posted at the perfect time for me haha. Thanks, Kachi!

[@nununununusch]

1/3 is less than 1/2... Ich think you meant 3/4

[@Tina.bina.]

Ooh I think this video will be one that I can refer to many times over. So detailed! Thanks for explaining all the math, it totally makes sense 💜

[@birgittaappelvik566]

Jag har sett några av dina videos och du är otroligt talangfull och kunnig. Bland det bästa jag sett på KZbin, tack så mycket : )

[@fashionmakiroll]

Thanks for making this video! I think it will be very useful in the future and I'm definitely going to come back to this in the future!

[@angelah.5463]

Thank you so much for the helpful explanation! 😃👍 Greetings from Germany 😉

[@anjak.8183]

I love that you showed how to create the pattern on illustrator ❤️thank you so much Im definitely gonna make minimum 1 skirt 🤗

[@Sewkniteat]

Thanks for the video I was just thinking to make a circle skirt 😊

[@ghadaali2545]

Thank you so much. Very well explained as always😊

[@annarosemiller470]

This video is so helpful! Is your seam allowance automatically calculated with your measurements? I didn’t hear you talk about it in your instructions/pattern making. Thank you again for this video!!

[@RDLA-US]

Great job! You make it look so easy!

Hello Kachi, love your work and adore your short video on IG.I was curious, is there a reason why you don’t let the skirt stretch overnight?

[@LS-vq2or]

Yes I'm surprised she didn't do this nor staystitched the waist before sewing anything :o

[@briannaiverson889]

what is stretching??

[@eileenfb1948]

@@briannaiverson889 a circular or half circle skirt has parts where the fabric is on the bias and therefore prone to stretching. Let it hang on your dummy or on a hanger, overnight at least. If it is going to stretch where it is not on the bias then you can straighten the hem later when you sew it.

[@ilhemwalker9145]

Wow i really like it i'mma try it

[@Anna1802]

thank you for a great explanation! I wonder if you know how to make patterns for kids sizes? i'm a new mom, my daughter is 15 months old and I'm struggling with fitting her into patterns i find online..wonder if you can help, thanks

[@fashionhassense6022]

Hi. Do you not need to add seam allowances in this skirts?

[@zionasohun]

Brilliant

[@Gandellion]

I don’t mean this to come across as rude but did you finish the leather jacket? I wasn’t sure if I’d missed the completion of it. If you’re taking a break from it that’s totally cool ❤

[@THISISKACHI]

I finished it! I will upload the rest in 2023 ☺️

[@bandana_rathore]

😢😢😢 i am such a beginner level, I was not able to comprehend how the circle got divided into many parts. Will have to watch many times

[@spatel2836]

Me neither. I didnt understand why there had to be so many sections? It can be done in one piece, max 3.

[@bandana_rathore]

@@spatel2836 hi, I think it's because many a times the fabrics are not very wide hence we have to put a joint in the end part which doesn't looks very nice. But the part where sections were made just went over my head. I will make the normal circle skirt pattern on paper and will then divide it in 3 parts as you suggested. Thanx

[@spatel2836]

@@bandana_rathore ah ok. Thanks

Im already bad at math 😢 but thank you for this video im sure ill get it

Welchen Stoff hast du denn genutzt? Derr grüne ist so schön glaube da muss ich mir für nächstes Weihnachten einen circle skirt mit nähen ❤

[@lois2911]

Oh, by the way, do you find it necessary to let those types of skirts hang before hemming?

[@eileenfb1948]

yes

[@ilhemwalker9145]

cool video thank you i'm definitely gonna make it ! but plz can u explain why y cut only 3 pieces from the fabric and sew them together wasn't there 5 pieces in total ? (1 doubled front + 2 doubled sides + 2 undoubled back) if anyone can help i'll be so grateful

[@mckenzierichardson1301]

I had the same question, but then realized that in the beginning she shows herself using the half circle pattern which only has 3 pieces. The 5 pieces of the full circle skirt should add up to the size of the waistband once sewn together, and you can follow the same steps as the video. Hope that helped!

[@ilhemwalker9145]

@@mckenzierichardson1301 thank you so much i think i understand a little better when i wanted to try out this model and didn't understand i tried another one i unded up sewing my first half circle long skirt i'm so happy about the results X) i hope yours turn out great as well ! have a lovely sewing time

[@mevrefli8163]

Hallo, wie würde man Kellerfalten in ein Glockenrock konstruieren ? Kann man den Falteninhalt einfach in den TU einberechnen oder muss man die später sperren ? Liebe Grüße

[@THISISKACHI]

Ich würde das direkt in den TU einrechnen. Wobei ich keinen Tellerrock als grundschnitt nehmen würde sondern nur ein „Rechteck“. Durch die Falten ist genug HU vorhanden, bzw man kann den Falteninhalt so berechnen. Das fällt schöner und ist einfacher 👍🏻

[@mevrefli8163]

Okay dankeee 🥰

[@laurenmitchell2544]

One question after watching the milkmaid dress tutorial…why do we take away the 2cm seam allowance and yet for the split S/A you add 2 cm to your waist measurement? Why not add 4cm, 1cm for each raw edge, to your waist measurement before dividing by Pie? I’ve been looking on the internet too! Xx

[@eileenfb1948]

When designing a garment it is done without seam allowances. Once you are sure you are happy with the design and how it fits you then add seam allowances. Seam allowances vary according to the fabric and your preferences in how you will sew the raw edges. The seam allowance is not affecting how the garment will fit you. Therefore you can't include it to be divided by Pie. I hope that is clear enough for you to visualise how it happens, If you draw a circle and measure across the widest part, that measurement will be equal to just over three times around the circumference. The name for three and one seventh is called Pie.

[@bicko2012]

Can you please explain how we can sew a longer skirt even if the width of our fabric is 1.40 cm

[@eileenfb1948]

I draw a paper pattern and then I can arrange it on my fabric more easily.

[@Reyglondrina]

the program for the patterns?

[@TheBibleNerd334]

Do you measure the waist at the thinnest part of the body or at the widest? My hips are wider than what I guess is my waist (the thinnest part of me) and I’m making my first skirt, so kinda unsure about how to account for that.

[@lovecinnamonxx]

The waist is the thinnest part of your torso, that's correct! There are measuring guides online if you're unsure :)

[@briannaiverson889]

I'm not understanding the length = more sections part. I want my skirt to be 96.5cm long. How many extra panels would I need? And what width would they have to be?

[@eileenfb1948]

I like to draw the circle for the waist and then measure from there to get the length. Remembering to add a little for seams and hem.

[@pwhite2579]

Also circ = PI X Diam ::: Diam = 2 X Radius ::: PI = 3.14

[@nehasamant6978]

Can we convert a full skirt to half skirt ?

[@eileenfb1948]

Yes, but I would take care to have the skirt balanced regarding how the grain will be affected

[@Maria-uv9pd]

I'm sure I just need to sketch it out myself, but my brain isn't wrapping around the 1/2 circle 🤪

[@WheezyCatLady]

I cut a half circle skirt last night and did it wrong! 😂 So, here’s the science lol Waist measurement x 2 = your new circumference. Now divide your new circumference by 2 pie (6.28). This is your half circle waist radius. Hope this helps! ❤

[@Lisa-el7zo]

Probably. 😂 I think of it like this: the top of the skirt needs to wrap around your waist. In this case, the waistline is made from a half circle, so the "length" of this half circle needs to be equal to the waist measurement. The math: "length" of half circle = pi*r (half the circumference of a full circle) waist=pi*r rearrange to ger r=waist/pi

[@Maria-uv9pd]

@@Lisa-el7zo Thank you! That makes sense. You're making a half circle and then wrapping it around you. My mind wasn't connecting the numbers with the actual geometric manipulation.

[@briannaiverson889]

@@Lisa-el7zo so if I have a 10.5cm waist, then the length of the panel needs to be 10.5cm as well??

[@Lisa-el7zo]

@@briannaiverson889 I think you're mixing up waist circumference and the radius of the waist circle. You get the *waist circumference* by wrapping a measuring tape around your waist. Kachi had 66cm. This is the measurement we were talking about in this thread. To draw the pattern, you need to calculate a *circle radius* from this circumference. There are different radius formulas for a full circle skirt, half circle skirt etc. The radius for a *full circle skirt* is calculated with: r=waist/(2pi). With her waist circumference of 66cm, Kachi got r=10,5cm. The formula for a *half circle skirt* is r=waist/pi and Kachi got r=21cm.

[@katiekelley4284]

...pockets?

[@lois2911]

I hate having pockets on my skirts and dresses-----slimmer look. I've got more hip action going on.. By the way, you are very talented and thank you for all your hard work.

[@staceyhunt6769]

So. Doubles circle skirt measurements. Is your waist. Halfed. Do it twice? The math terms get me a bit overwhelmed. 😅

[@SuzyTurner]

You completely lost me when you started talking maths and pie, etc etc!!! 🤔😵‍💫

[@eileenfb1948]

If you divide your waist size by three, it will give an approximate size for the diameter. Because the diameter of a circle will go around the circumference three and one seventh times.

[@SuzyTurner]

Thank you, Eileen! @@eileenfb1948

[@elizabethwatson71]

Too confusing listening to you. I’ll follow someone else

[@ExoticTS]

This was so confusing what’s the simple formula for double circle skirt please ? Meaning what do I need to type in my calc

[@dulcecalixto]

C = 4 * 3,14 * r

[@eileenfb1948]

If you cut two circles instead of one, everything will be twice as much. Therefore the waist will be twice as big as needed - so I halve the circumference for the waist.
