  1. # Cutting a Circle Skirt with a Tiled 1:1 PDF Pattern
  2.  
  3. Working out skirt measurements by hand is where many sewing projects stall, especially when you switch between inches and centimetres. Skirt Calculator is a free web tool that turns a waist measurement and skirt length into everything you need to cut, including fabric yardage for your fabric width and a printable 1:1 pattern. This note focuses on fabric yardage and the workflow around it; to follow along, see [the Skirt Calculator tool for home sewists](https://skirtcalculator.com/).

  5. ## How to plan a skirt step by step
  6.  
  7. 1. Go to Skirt Calculator; it is free and everything runs in the browser.
  8. 2. Enter the waist measurement and finished length for the skirt you want to make.
  9. 3. Select your fabric width: 45 or 60 inches (115 or 150 cm), or a custom width.
  10. 4. Review the panel layout diagram to see how the pieces sit on the fabric.
  11. 5. Print the tiled 1:1 pattern PDF and measure the test squares before cutting.
  12. 6. For pleated or tiered designs, switch to the pleat or tiered skirt calculator on the same site.

  33. ## What it is not
  34.  
  35. It is not a shop selling fabric or paper patterns, and it is not an AI tool. It is a set of free calculators that run in your browser, in inches or cm, without an account.
