Free Printable Targets. There's a bit of flexibility in these measurements, so you can round the number to the nearest fraction. For this sample, the measurement rounded to 5. Next, fold the felt in half, and on the fold mark a center point. Then, pin or hold the end of your tape measure to the marked point. Place your pen on the tape measure at the measurement you just calculated, and use the tape measure like a compass to mark a half circle on the felt. Now, decide how long you want the skirt to be.
Typically a poodle skirt falls just below the knee. Add your desired skirt length to the radius of the center circle. For this sample, we added 25 inches for a total of Use the tape measure and pen like a compass to mark a half circle the size of your total measurement along the bottom of the fabric.
Cut out the large circle and the center opening. Keep your cuts as smooth as possible for a great finished edge without the need for hemming. Measure and cut a piece of elastic that's 2 inches longer than the actual waist measurement not the circle opening measurement. Fold one end of the elastic under 1 inch, and sew it to the other end of the elastic, overlapping the ends. Pin the elastic into the center opening of the skirt.

Waist height. Bust height. Bust apex width. All that remains is the actual waistband. First, we will sew the casing for the elastic.
Measure the width of your elastic. Mine was 1" wide. Fold over the top edge of the waist tier to allow room for the elastic to be inserted into the fold. I used a straight stitch. Leave about a 2" gap when sewing the casing. We will use this to insert and sew the elastic then sew it up when we finish. Measure and cut the length of the elastic so that it is comfortable around the waist of your model. I cut mine to about 23". Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic.
This will make it easier to thread through the casing. Insert the elastic, safety pin first, into one side of the casing. Carefully thread the elastic all the way around the casing to the other side. Do not let go of the other end of the elastic as you thread. Bunch up the casing fabric as needed to get elastic all the way around the waistband. Once each end of the elastic is sticking out of each side of the casing, its time to sew it together. There are two ways to sew the elastic.
First you can overlap the edges of the elastic. When I do this, I usually overlap it by about an inch. Or you can sew a piece of non-stretchy fabric behind it and join the elastic end to end.
This method will lay flat and not have extra bulk on the waistband. This is the method I used. With your elastic end to end, lay the fabric over the join and pin into place. Pin about an inch or so away from the join on each side. Using a stretchy zig zag stitch, sew right down the center of the join of the elastic. Then sew along the top horizontal edge of the elastic and along the bottom horizontal edge of the elastic about an inch on either side of the join. Now sew vertically between the ends of the seams you just made.
Basically you are sewing a box around the joined ends of the elastic. Finally sew corner to corner to make an "x" over the joined edges of the elastic. This helps secure the elastic to itself and strengthens the join.
Trim any extra fabric from around the stitches so that it doesn't bunch up inside your waistband. Slip the elastic up under the open waistband casing. Straighten the casing and sew, using a straight stitch to close the opening.
All finished. Now you have a petticoat to go under your poodle skirt and make it puffier. There is a big difference between with and without the petticoat.
