Hi there,

 

I would like to make myself skirt to practice sustained spinning. Do you have any experience which type works best?

Would long circle skirt work well or is there too much fabric?

 

Thanks for your help or tutorials.

Jana, I don't think it's possible for there to be too much fabric. Seriously, circle skirts and 8 or 10 panel gored skirts are amazing for spinning. Sometimes you can find long 'hippie' skirts from the thrift store that have a lot of fabric that will spin beautifully. I make mine out of stretch knits so that they fit to the hips and torso and flare out at the hem.

yeah circle skirts are fun, a neat variation is a handkerchief skirt;

I have a idea for what you could use that may look supercute as I'm on my phone atm I can't send a drawing just yet.
But will try to tonight

And it will be a simple pattern to cut and sew to custom measures.

Take care
Peace and hoops

Circle skirts are perfect! I put a little tutorial on my blog if you want to see what one looks like in action:
