Skirt Diagram

Create a square with the piece of felt by folding it in half lengthwise and widthwise. Use a tape measure to determine your waist measurement and divide that number by pi (3.14). This will be the radius to cut your top circle out of the felt square.

Brand waist bow

Place the top of your tape measure in the top left corner of your folded felt square. Draw a line for the measurement you got earlier. Continue measuring in a circle and tracing the radius measurement until you reach the other crease. This will form your waist circle.
