I added extra pink to our rainbow for two reasons, it is my girl's favorite color, and I needed 8 colors to complete the circle easily.
To make this colorful circle skirt, I cut 8 pattern pieces from a modified circle skirt pattern. Instead of using 1/4 of a circle for my pattern, I used 1/8. I added seam allowances to both sides of my pizza slice and was done. The 8 pieces were sewn together to make a full circle. To make a circle skirt, Dana from Made has an easy to follow tutorial found here.
Once I had the basic skirt constructed, I couldn't decide how I wanted to finish the bottom. I have seen people add bias tape or simply hem, but I wasn't happy with either of these methods for the variety of colors I would be sewing through. Since my fabric was a very cheap broadcloth, I wanted to line it with a nice white cotton. Finally, my solution to finishing the bottom! I cut a full white circle skirt and sewed it to the rainbow circle right sides together along the outermost circle. TADA! I took the time to clip triangles out of the seam allowance, turn with a chop stick, and press crisp. Then, I basted the tops together before adding the elastic; done with a nice clean finish!
I hope you enjoyed my 80's cartoon inspired outfit. Thanks for visiting.
