I just learned this today.
I can barely sew and managed to make a presentable skirt for a costume in under two hours, by hand.

As someone who doesn't sew. This reads like a "rest of the fucking owl" post. 🥲
I sew, and it's not just you.
I don't sew and found this on the "everything feed" and its like "cut two what?" And "what waist band is this matching?" And "desired length -4? Wouldn't that make it short?"
You're right, that should be a + 4" for seam allowance, which is a term I learned recently.
The waist band is matched to the inner circle.
Fair.
I found these youtube channels helpful in learning how to sew and making a skirt:
Hand sewing and vintage techniques while talking about the history of fashion: https://youtube.com/@bernadettebanner
Full walkthroughs (excluding the sewing part) on how to measure, cut and put together custom dresses: https://youtube.com/@fancy_stitches
I came here to say the same. It seems to be missing key details.
If you find 'em, post 'em.
Awesome work!
