The 3/4 Circle Skirt Calculator helps you determine the amount of fabric required to create a 3/4 circle skirt. By inputting your waist circumference and the desired length of the skirt, the calculator provides the exact fabric measurements needed. This ensures that you have enough material to create a beautiful, well-fitted skirt without any guesswork.
Formula of 3/4 Circle Skirt Calculator
To calculate the fabric required for a 3/4 circle skirt, use the following formulas:
Waist Radius (R): R = Waist circumference / (2 * pi * (3/4))
Skirt Length (L): L = Desired length of the skirt
Total Radius (T): T = R + L
Fabric Required: Fabric Required = 2 * T
Steps to Calculate:
- Measure your waist circumference.
- Decide the desired length of the skirt.
- Calculate the waist radius using the given formula.
- Add the waist radius to the desired length to get the total radius.
- Multiply the total radius by 2 to find the diameter of the circle, which gives you the fabric required.
Example of 3/4 Circle Skirt Calculator
Let's say you have a waist circumference of 28 inches and you want your skirt to be 20 inches long.
- Calculate Waist Radius (R): R = 28 / (2 * pi * (3/4)) = 5.94 inches
- Determine Skirt Length (L): L = 20 inches
- Calculate Total Radius (T): T = R + L = 5.94 + 20 = 25.94 inches
- Determine Fabric Required: Fabric Required = 2 * T = 2 * 25.94 = 51.88 inches
Therefore, you will need approximately 52 inches of fabric to make your 3/4 circle skirt.
