This is one of the best patterns Cashmerette has in its lineup! While it uses a fair amount of fabric, it is a very easy make, and only 2 pattern pieces! I have wanted a full circle skirt for a long time, but making one in a size 32 and trying to draft it myself seemed daunting, but using 3 cuts of the skirt to make a full circle instead of two was genius! The first one I made I used a very wide white linen. It was simple to stitch together, and hanging it overnight was really necessary as it grew in length quite a bit due to the loose weave of the linen.
Then this week I purchased quilting fabric to make 4 more skirts, and didn't have enough fabric even though I bought the correct length of fabric. Turned out the quilt fabric was only 42" wide, and take away the selvedges even narrower! So on the next skirt I cut out of quilt fabric, I trimmed down the pattern width at the hem, so it's not a TRUE circle, but still plenty of twirling action!
I love the way it looks on my frame, no bulk at the waist and super comfortable!
