Tutorial: Circle skirt with an invisible zipper

Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shows how you can sew a circle skirt with a waistband and invisible zipper. You can use any lightweight fabric – she uses a sheer crepe for a floaty spring skirt. You can make the skirt in any size, from girls to adults, using just a few measurements and some math to figure the size circle to cut.
