I made two dresses for my 7yo twin girls who both had ver specific requests about lenth and starting point. I used a bodice from another pattern which O manually lengthened to Twin B's desired length (T-shirt) and used it as is for Twin A's desired length (natural waist). Twin A wanted ankle length, Twin B jist below the knee. It was SO easy to make their wishes come true using this calculator! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recently bought this bc I wanted to make a quarter circle skirt but I hate drafting patterns. It's good. I'm not adding it to a bodice so I've made facing/waistband. The only downside is the printing, yesterday I printed 24 pages but only 16 were used for the pattern? The rest didn't have anything on them except for pages 9 and 10 which had a line that didn't connect to anything. Also the A0 printing seems bit off, haven't tried it though just downloaded for reference. But it's good. I hade to take of 13cm from my actual waistmeasurment to get the desired fit. I think it's better to buy this pattern where you get almost the full circle you know, than to buy loads of other patterns where you just get one.
It's very handy and works well. I find that it's a bit limited because it only makes full, half and quarter circle skirts. I would love a 3/4 option since it's my most used one.
While I have other ways to make a circle skirt, the generator made it so simple. Plug in your measurements and length and the pattern is ready to go. I did have to calculate my own waist band size because I was making a stand alone skirt and would love if that was an option but fabulous for pattern. Absolutely love it.
This was my first Apostrophe pattern sew. It turned out great and fit my grand perfectly! I just added the ruffle around the neckline at her request!
