1950s Polar Bear Circle Skirt

April 16, 2021 By Kezia

This dress was made as a 1950s circle skirt out of some polar bear flannel that used to be a bedsheet.

I cut out two half circles and sewed them together. I ended up having to gather the back slightly to fit the waist band.

A pocket was sewn into each side and the pattern was made by roughly tracing my hand and then adding room for snacks. It closes with three hooks and eyes.

The side seams were hand felled and to get a neat hem on a circle skirt without any bunching you have to use a facing. I cut mine out, machine stitched it to the bottom of the skirt right sides together, then flipped it to the inside and hand whip stitched it to the inside of the skirt.
