This circle skirt pattern for girls has a FREE downloadable pattern to make sewing a breeze. No math needed. Easy to follow tutorial for beginners.

Step 1 – Cut out the following for the circle skirt and begin to sew

You will need to assemble the FREE pattern.  For instructions on how to assemble the FREE sewing pattern click here.

Trim the pattern pieces down to the correct size before cutting.

Cut 2 circle skirt pattern panels (each on fold).

Easy to follow tutorial for beginners.To make the lines nice a clean I used a rotary cutter since I opted to leave the edges raw, it gives a nice edge. If you opt to use scissors. make sure to keep you cut as clean as possible with sharp scissors and slow cutting.

Now it’s time to cut out the waistband.

IMPORTANT: follow the grain/stretch lines indicated on the waistband pattern piece. 

Now cut 1 waistband in the correct size.

Step 2 – Begin to Sew the girl’s skirt

First unfold and lay out one of the skirt pieces face up.

Next assemble the circle skirt, stitch the side seams, right sides together, to form a donut-like shape.  Be sure to uses a stretch stitch if using a sewing machine.

Step 3 – Sew the waistband

Fold the waist band in half so the short ends and right sides are touching.

Step 4 – Bring the Waistband and the Skirt Together

Get the sewn skirt.

Get the sewn waistband.

Fold over the waistband, wrong sides facing together.

 

Pin the waistband to the right side of the skirt. You will need to slightly stretch the waistband to fit it to the skirt. Stitch. Tip: pin the waistband at fourths and then stretch the waistband to fit the skirt evenly.

Easy to follow tutorial for beginners.Since knit fabric doesn’t fray, you can leave the bottom hem plain, or do a narrow hem, or a rolled hem on your serger if you prefer. I left my bottom edge raw.

That’s it!  I love how fast and comfortable this circle skirt is, as a matter of fact it’s so great that there’s an adult version of this skirt as well!  You can check out that Free Pattern here.

How many yards of fabric do you need to make a circle skirt?

For this free pattern you need 1 yard for most sizes and and 1 and 1/4 yards for the largest size. Circle skirts tend to use a large amount of fabric due to their shape. But that is what makes them fun to twirl in!  You will also need fabric that comes in a wider width – this free pdf pattern uses knit which typically comes in a 60 inch width.

How do you measure a circle skirt?

This free pdf pattern doesn’t require you to measure, however the length of the skirt is measured from the waist to the hem. If you want to calculate your own circle skirt you need to know the length you want, the measurement of your waist, and hips, and also how to fit it on a width of cloth. (Honestly it’s a pain – it’s much easier to use a pattern)

What fabric is best for a circle skirt?

It depends on the formality of the skirt you are making. Jersey knit is great for comfort (that’s what this free template uses). However circle skirt if constructed properly can be made from many types of fabric. There really isn’t a “best” fabric. The main requirement is that the fabric have a large width for the circle.
