Description
Here, we show you how to make a patternless circle skirt, sweet and simple. With just a little basic geometry and a big piece of fabric, you are on your way to a beautiful wrap skirt. We are drawing two concentric circles: the inner circle is the waistline, and the outer circle is the hem. The difference between the inner and outer circles’ circumference measurements creates a gentle, lovely fullness. (This method works for a shorter skirt on a wide fabric. For a longer skirt and/or wider waist, you may have to use seams in your circle.)
Material Notes
2 yards wide fabric, snap, 2 pieces 1” D-ring hardware, tape measure

I made this skirt!! It was my first skirt to make and the directions from this project are so easy to follow and understand. I’m very very new to sewing and still can’t believe I did it!

I’m about to make this! Is it possible to make the waistband and the skirt in different colors?

I have a question. I’m rather new at sewing. In this step 4. I have done part of the step. The 2nd part where it says "fold and press at 1 1/2 inches, this is the facing. I am confused by this. Not bc your pattern is confusing, but because I am still novice.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Thanks
