Circle Skirt App-By Hand London



As you know, circle skirts are all the rage. I even have a few tutorials that show you how to make some. If you've made a circle skirt then you know that the measurements don't always come out right. They're typically a little large which works great if you're making an elastic waist but not when you're putting in a zipper. 

I have found the most amazing app to get the exact measurements (like the radius) so if you're installing a zipper, your waist isn't too big. You can find it at By Hand London. The best thing about this is that you can choose what type of circle skirt you want to create (quarter, half or full) and choose the length. You put your measurement in and it tells you how much fabric you need, how large your radius is and a view of how to trace is out on your fabric.

While you're checking out this app, poke around their site. There's a lot of cool blog posts, patterns and sewalongs! 

Hope this helps you out! Don't forget to follow us on Pinterest at makeitlovediy
