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.

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.
