In this part of the video, the YouTuber introduces a tutorial on pattern making basics for circular skirts. She lists the materials needed and emphasizes the importance of getting accurate waist measurements. The YouTuber explains the formula for drafting a quarter circle skirt and demonstrates how to mark the waistline on pattern paper using measurements. Detailed steps and tips are provided for precision in the drafting process.

In this segment of the video, the key points include drafting a quarter circle skirt by marking and connecting ridges using a fashion ruler, adding sewing allowance, determining skirt length, and cutting out the patterns. The placement of the circle skirt pattern on fabric at a 45-degree angle (bias) is illustrated. For the quarter circle skirt, one layer of fabric is needed and the pattern is pinned and cut accordingly. The resulting skirt resembles an A-line silhouette without flares. Moving on to half circle skirt drafting, the formula involves multiplying half waist measurement by 4 inches, dividing by 6.28 inches to determine ridges. The process is similar to the quarter circle skirt with the addition of sewing allowance.

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to create a half circle skirt pattern. They mark the ridges on the paper, add sewing allowance for the waist and skirt length, label the front and back sides of the skirt, and cut out the pattern. The fabric is then folded lengthwise green, placed at a 45-degree angle, cut, and laid flat to showcase the design. Lastly, they show the skirt on a dress form, highlighting the differences from a quarter circle skirt, and introduce the full circle skirt pattern formula based on waist measurement.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates drafting a full circle skirt pattern. They start by marking the measurements on the paper using rulers and adding sewing allowances. They create two patterns, one for the front and one for the back, each labeled with specific sewing allowances. The front pattern is placed on a fold, while the back pattern is placed on the bias. The speaker emphasizes labeling patterns to avoid confusion. Finally, they explain the right placement of the patterns on fabric and demonstrate cutting the patterns accordingly.

In this segment of the video, the creator shows how to cut and sew a full circle skirt. They demonstrate placing the back pattern on the fabric bias, cutting out the pieces, sewing the front and back side seams together, adding a zipper, and showcasing the finished full circle skirt on a dress form. The video also hints at a future tutorial on creating box pleats for circle skirts. The creator encourages viewers to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for more tutorials on skirt styles and box pleats.
