Great picture. Thanks for sharing.

Like from a tablecloth or vintage sheet? <br />You can mark the hem in a similar way..like a large pair of compasses. A length of string with a pin at one end and a piece of chalk at the other end...the length you want from waist to hem.<br />fold the skirt in quarters - half then half again - push pin end of string into something pin-able at the waist. Then draw a big arc with the chalk...it will be a quarter circle. You can cut through all layers. Jut make sure you add hem length either to your string at the beginning or to the length of the skirt below the chalk line before cutting.<br /><br />If there are too many pleats or folds to get a nice line when folded in quarters, you can do it folded in half.<br />If you decide to do the pin at the very top corner of the quartered circle, you need to add the corner to waistband length to your string or it will be too short.<br /><br />Lots more can be discovered if you google cutting a circle skirt...there are Maths involved when you want to use that technique to cut the waist. you need to be sure to leave a seam allowance and stuff like that!<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
