About the pattern
Swirl is a full circle skirt in two halves, each cut on the fold, with an elastic casing at the waist instead of a zip, so it is quick to make and easy to wear. The waist circle is sized to slip over the hips, and the elastic draws it in to fit.
Ten sizes, EU 34 to 52, all with a 55 cm length from the waist (about knee length); shorten at the hem.
