I need help in knowing how many inches to cut out my circles for a skirt. How many inches to cut out a 12-18 mo and a 3-4 yr skirt? How do I figure out how many yards it will take to make these sizes? Will need top layers and liner layer and how many yards to cut out for ruffles. Don't want to buy any more material than I will need. Thanks so much for your help.

For a skirt in the 12-18 month size I use about 6 yrds 7-8" length and for the 3-4 yr old I use at least 8yrds and 9-10" lengths. I use 3 layers of organza and 1-2 layers of ruffles depending on how full you want it. I sew my ruffles to the lining that I use underneath. One tip allow yourself and extra 1" for sewing to waistband and hemming. So for example if you need a 10" skirt cut the length of the circle 11".

Thanks for your reply. I know how to fold the material to cut out the circles, what I don't know is how to measure to cut out the waist. How many inches do I go down from my tip of material?...does that make sense???
