Suggested Fabrics

Choose lightweight to medium-weight woven fabrics, such as:

• Crepe.
• Viscose.
• Linen.
• Cotton.
• Satin.
• Chiffon.
• Georgette.

Soft, draping fabrics create a flowing, skirt-like effect. Fabrics with more body produce a more defined A-line shape. Sheer fabrics may require a lining or a separate underlayer.

Not designed for knitted or stretch fabrics.

Fabric Requirements

Check the fabric requirements shown in the product images and calculate your cutting layout using your selected size and fabric width.

Fabric requirements are approximate because this is a pattern block that can be modified. Recalculate the amount needed if you change the length, width or design, or use fabric with a directional print.

Printing and Projection

• Print at 100% / Actual Size. Do not select “Fit to Page”.
• Measure the test square before printing the complete pattern.
• After editing, check that the pattern scale and print layout remain correct.
• Trim and assemble the A4 or US Letter pages using the alignment marks.
• For copy shop printing, request A0 output at 100% scale.
• Calibrate your projector and verify the scale before tracing or cutting.
