I have made 3 so far, the first being a disaster as the ends were uneven because they slipped being silk and chiffon type fabric. Now i firmly tack the inner circle before cutting around the template. Now i haunt fairs and op shops for scarves. Scarves are so ideal as they are edge finished and often with concentric patterns. and the long narrow ones can be incorporated as well on the outside. The skirts can be made reversible too. i have been making a casing in the old fashioned way but i think i will look for some wide coloured elastic (if there is such a thing) to make the process faster. I have taken photos of the second two skirts. Where can i put them to show you? perhaps you could email me. I will subsribe also.

Just as the tutorial describes should be fine. If you have a more specific question about any problems I am happy to offer a suggestion. I’m not sure exactly what you are asking.

A skinny 2 year old is probably bigger in the tummy than the hips, so you would use the waist measurement to start with. I'd still add the extra 3 cm to help get it on and off. Ease in adults clothing is usually about 4cm. Coming here soon will be some ways of using up those circles that are cut out to make fairy flowers... Umm, lets see.

I assume the ease needed for a skinny 2 year old would be a lot less than 3cm then. Ok, I see. I assume the ease needed for a skinny 2 year old would be a lot less than 3cm then.

If you made a straight skirt pattern for example, with the same measurement as your hip, you may have problems getting it over your bum - not to mention split seams if you try to sit down! “Ease” is the extra bit you add for comfort, movement and getting things on and off.
