Cutting a circle to add to the 2 part or 3 part Tank

Cutting a circle to add to the 2 part or 3 part Tank

 The 2 or 3 part Tank can be added existing pieces .. like a pretty table cloth.

Here are some guides to help cut the right size of circular hole to add onto the 2 part or 3 part Tank.

 

 A cut  circle will be flexible because of the bias, so 5mm smaller will prevent the circle appearing too big. Take a 1cm seam and match the notch at the front and sides and the 2 notches at the centre back.

Hypotenuse/ diagonal

 I have included these measurements because unlike " normal " skirts the pointy bits  of a handkerchief skirt can be much longer than the straight sides.

110 cm x 110 cm measures     155.5 cm  on the diagonal

120 cm x 120 cm  measures   169.5 cm  on the diagonal.

130 cm x 130 cm measures    184 cm     on the diagonal.

140 cm x 140 cm measures    198 cm     on the diagonal

150 cm x 150 cm measures     212 cm     on the diagonal.

Note.

110 cm -  28 cm ( a size 0) =  82cm  

Divide by 2  = the shortest sides, if the hole is in the middle , will be 41 cm

110cm - 50 cm ( a size 12 ) = 60 cm 

Divide by 2 = the shortest sides, if the hole is in the middle , will be 30 cm

 

Below. This version is shorter at the front than the back so the shortest sided will be even shorter.

Here it is attached to the 3 part tank.
