@@rochelgeller hi there, my waist measurement is 76cm...I then added 8cm (I added this when cutting but you can add it while doing your calculations) to make it 81cm or you can just take your waist measurement around your hip bone instead of your natural waist so that the waist of your skirt is big enough to allow for the elastic to stretch. Otherwise if you are planning to install a zipper there's no need to add extra cm for elastic allowance.
This is exactly what i have always wanted.... You are a nice teacher💞.... Please when you find time, make a video showng how to make a full dess explaining all calculations the way you did on this one, especially the Bodice🙏
Great tutorial- I know how to do full and half circle but 1/4 stumped me - I didn’t have enough width to make the half circle I wanted and needed to make two 1/4 my problem solved 😊 thank you 🌷
Thank you . I will try this. Even though i am total novice have no clue what i am doing. This is my 2nd week and amount of mistake i done. Try drafting and forgot seam allowance and cut out pattern. I have to learn about cutting fabric. Learn grain still confusing so i know which way to cut. Its alot my brain is fried But i hope to stick at it. Oh yeah the maths
This was a very straightforward tutorial. Thanks so much for it. What is you want to make a a longer skirt? it doesn;t look like you can make it longer because of the fabric length
Hi there, thank you for watching, you can make a pattern first so that you don't have to draft from the fabric. The pattern will allow you to use your fabric better. Here is how to make the pattern ua-cam.com/video/ERVhsDgHwEw/v-deo.html
Hey there, thank you for watching, make an elastic waist band that fits the waist of the skirt ( you can make it extra then just cut the excess) but the elastic must be your actual waist.
Hey there, the width of the waist band must fit the elastic and the length must fit the waist of the skirt. Please check out this video to see how I made the waist band @ 6:06 ua-cam.com/video/MbXMx-YwhHU/v-deo.htmlsi=GT-0dTbXhhmkiR3U
I loved your 1/2 circle tutorial, so I was glad to see this one too! Does it matter what corner you measure out the waist? I was thinking I could get more length using a different corner perhaps?
Hi there, thank you for watching. I doubt it matters which corner you use as long as the body of the skirt will fit. In one of my latest videos I show how to draft and cut circle skirt with the fabric that is not wide enough to give the length one is hoping for, you can check it out maybe it might help titled "DIY flare dress with pockets"
Hi there, you just take your waist circumference and divide it by 1.57 but remember to add seam allowance and zipper allowance if you want to install a zipper. If you want to have elastic you can take hip circumference and divide it by 1.57 so that you have extra material for the elastic to strach. Here is a video of how to make a pattern of this skirt, you can check it out to get more idea ua-cam.com/video/ERVhsDgHwEw/v-deo.html
Hi there, as you can see after cutting out the skirt it was just one piece so I had to fold it in half and cut it to make the front and the back...the next step on the video I am closing the sides.
@@NomondeMketshane Thank You for answer, but still i don't understand. You sew sides again on same place as you cut, is it for visual effect only (that seams will be visible)?
@@agapod2922 A garment usually has seams on the sides and sometimes at the back if you are planning to install a back zipper...so the cut was to just have side seams. You can leave your skirt without or one side seam but it looks better and normal with side seams.
Hi there, it really depends on how you want umbhaco wakho to be if ufuna ubhaceke kakhulu you go for full circle but if you don't want too much flare you go for half. But I think abantu like the full skirt.
Since the skirt has elastic waist I added 5-8 cm on my waist measurement for the elastic to stretch with ease.
So what was your original waist? I'm not sure I follow here. Thanks

@@NomondeMketshane Does it mean your radius will be 81/1.57. Coming to 51.6 cm instead of the 48.4 you used in the tutorial?
@@oabonamachete9839 Yes
@@NomondeMketshane Perfect and thanks for a prompt response. I will share the finished product.
This is perfect thank you! I have always been so intimidated by drafting my own skirts. I have four to make and have already made one
Yeyiii I am happy you managed💃
I have watched so many quarter skirt tutorials but this one was by far the best! So easy to follow and my skirt turned out perfect :) thanks!
Aaah that's lovely😊

Thanks a lot I was willing to know how to make ipinifa you are an angel to me keep on showing us what you know God bless you
Thank you so much! You have inspired me to try and make my own. I love the color of fabric you used too! It’s looks so pretty on you.
After watching so many videos ...here is the perfect tutorial✅😊.....now im going to stitch for myself....thankyou dear

And you will get the length you want from the same amount of fabric
@@NomondeMketshane Ooh Okay. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much. I'll watch the pattern video and do so.
Thank you fr your knowledge it was apperciated an i cut out my skirt an was very happy god bless you
Very nice, I am planing to saw my skirt and you gave me the best tip. Thank you🙏❤🌹
And you just took us back to Maths class 😀
Uyayiva into ndithi kuphume neecalculator😊
A wonderful tutorial, thank you so much!
I have one question though: how does the measurement for the elastic waistband work?
Hey there, thank you for watching, make an elastic waist band that fits the waist of the skirt ( you can make it extra then just cut the excess) but the elastic must be your actual waist.
Thank you so much for this, just bought my fabric. Going to try!!! How did you make the waist to attach to the skirt? Thank you !!!
Hey there, the width of the waist band must fit the elastic and the length must fit the waist of the skirt. Please check out this video to see how I made the waist band @ 6:06 ua-cam.com/video/MbXMx-YwhHU/v-deo.htmlsi=GT-0dTbXhhmkiR3U
lovely video, very helpful, thanks!! :)
Shouldn't you measure your hip not your waist so the opening is large enough to pull on over past your hips

Wow that's amazing
Just simply beautiful
Lovely skirt. What width is your waistband and elastic
The belt is about 5 cm after folding it and the elastic is about 3 and half cm
Thank you
Perfect! Thank you.
You make it look so easy!. Beautiful pattern too. What type of fabric did you use here?
Thanks for this.
Hi there, thank you... I used Polly cotton
Thank you very much sister ❤❤
Beautiful.Y loved
Thank you❤️
Thank you so much you are amazinggg
Hello I'm new to the channel is there a formula that simplifies the waist calculations.
Hi there, you just take your waist circumference and divide it by 1.57 but remember to add seam allowance and zipper allowance if you want to install a zipper.
If you want to have elastic you can take hip circumference and divide it by 1.57 so that you have extra material for the elastic to strach.

Thank you for watching❤️
Hi im lukin for a pattern size pleated fabric. 38t 40sizebut a raglan style '' please'' help' ' thank u
Hi there, so far I have not used pleated fabric but if you want to make your own pleats I do have a video of how to make a pleated skirt.
Why did you cut one piece on half? (4.22)
