Step 8Cut out the a-line shape from the folded fabric
iImage Information

Cut out the a-line shape from the folded fabric. Use the first knot on your fabric strip pattern for the length. Cut the bottom of the skirt with a slight curve towards the outer edge. The angle of the a-line can be narrow or wider depending on how much flow you want in the skirt. Basically the greater the difference between the width of the bottom of the skirt and the width of the top, the fuller the skirt will be, a smaller difference will result in a more of straight looking skirt with a bit of a fishtail at the bottom.
