Tutorial: Half circle skirt

Remona from The Stitching Scientist shares a tutorial showing how to make a half circle skirt. A half circle skirt has less fullness than a full circle skirt and requires less fabric. Hers comes just above the knee, with a gentle drape from the hips down. You can make it from a woven or a knit, so long as it’s a lightweight fabric. It’s an easy-sew project, with the waistband a simple elastic casing. Go to The Stitching Scientist for the tute.
