I was given this fabric. The colour is fine, but the texture is horrid, an old fashioned crimpalene. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, of course, I decided to use it to try out a skirt pattern I found on Pinterest.
Here it is here. I want to make a warm skirt, but warm fabric is usually expensive, so I want to be sure the pattern will work, and know exactly how much fabric to buy.
I traced the dimensions of the skirt out on newprint, as per the diagram. I had to sellotape a few pages together to get a big enough sheet, but it worked fine. The seams didn't need neatening, so it was a quick sew. I think it works. I'll need fabric that is at least 150 cm wide, and without a one-way pattern. I hope I can find some in town tomorrow.
That is a beautiful skirt & this fabric looks like it has good drape. Show us a modeled pic later :-)

ReplyDeleteYou are wise to make a test skirt. The style is classic and will be lovely in warm fabric.
