Peplums are simply circles, so even you are a sewing beginner, you can do this! A circle is 360 degrees, so when you hear 720 degrees, 1080 degrees or 1440 degree peplums, you are simply talking about multiple circles.

In other words, you want to determine, first, how many circles are in 720, 1080 or 1440 degrees, for example. We have explained this in-depth in this video here:

In a 720 degree peplum, you are cutting 2 circles (divide 720 by 360 and you have 2)

In a 1080 degree peplum, you need to cut 3 circles; and

In a 1440 degree peplum, you will be cutting 4 circles.

Since each circle is 360 degrees, you cross-check this by adding the degrees for each circle you made. For example:

720 degree Peplum = 360 degrees (circle 1) + 360 degrees (circle 2)

In making Peplums, you need to divide your waist measurement by 6.28 to

arrive at the radius you need to cut your circle, however, when you’re making multiple circles, this waist must first be divided by the number of circles you are making before you now calculate the radius of each circle based on the result you got after dividing the waist between the circles.

We have explained this in length in our video on “How to CUT 720 Degree, 1080 Degree, and 1440 Degree Peplum Flares”

In the video below, we demonstrate how you can cut these different peplums/flares.
