Create the Skirt Diagram

Fold the felt square in half lengthwise and widthwise. Measure your waist and divide by π (3.14) to get the radius for cutting the inner circle from the folded square.

Draw the Waist Circle

Place one end of the tape measure at the top left corner of the folded felt. Draw an arc using your radius measurement, continuing around until you reach the opposite crease. This forms the waist circle.
