EXTRA OPTIONS TO SEW:3 PATTERN OPTIONS:
You will find the following pattern options in the pattern.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
Size (AU) | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 |
Hip/Seat (cms) | 85 | 90 | 95 | 100 | 105 | 110 | 115 | 120 | 125 |
Hip/Seat (inches) | 33 1/2 | 35 3/8 | 37 3/8 | 39 3/8 | 41 3/8 | 43 1/4 | 45 1/4 | 47 1/4 | 49 1/4 |
TRIM REQUIREMENTS: 32mm (1 1/4") elastic. Lightweight interfacing (fusing).
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: Rayon, linen, cotton voile, cotton blends.
For special occasions, like a flower girl in a wedding for example, you can even use silk or silk like fabrics. Picture how beautiful an off-white silk skirt with the front waistband in a contrast colour to match the flowers, would look.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: The following table outlines fabric requirements based on 110cm (44") fabric.
Please note: (1) The estimates below do not include directional fabrics. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to help estimate fabric needs for directional fabric. (2) If you are sewing with rayon, remember to allow for shrinkage & buy a little extra. (3) Also it’s wise to pre-wash your fabrics, in particular rayon.
