I'm liking it more and more each time I look at it!<br />As long as your fabric is wide enough to get the main front and back skirt pieces on next to each other you just need fabric long enough to accommodate the length of the waistband so a metre should be fine!Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-81677788905145008322013-02-26T23:28:00.501+00:002013-02-26T23:28:00.501+00:00How perfect!

It's very helpful to know how much fabric you used, because this is the version I want to make, and though the fabric requirements on the pattern seemed a bit generous! I haven't bought the pattern yet though because I haven't found the fabric I want yet, but I know what it will be like in my head! The inside looks fantastic, the bound edges and grosgrain ribbon are great. Happy wearing. :)Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891063381064955827noreply@blogger.com
