Free pattern: Girls’ circle skirt

Circle skirts are sooo easy to make! The only difficult thing is the math you have to do to figure out how big to cut your circle. Karly from Paisley Roots shares a free girls’ circle skirt pattern on her blog, so you can get her pattern and skip the math. The pattern comes in girls’ sizes 2- 10. Her free pattern is part of Skirting The Issue, a month-long sewing service project organized by Simple Simon & Co. to encourage people to sew handmade skirts for girls in foster care.
