- About a yard of 60 inch sweatshirt fabric
- About 1/3 yard cotton ribbing for the waistband and neck band
- A double needle for hemming the sleeves and skirt.
- A ruler and something to draw on the WRONG side of your fabric.
I hope you don’t mind my sketches.
Now draw your skirt onto the folded sweatshirt fabric.
Make the 1/4 skirt cutting line from on the fold and draw out 1/4 of the hip measurement at the hip.
Measure up about 7 inches to draw the waistline. Taper the waistline in a little.
Cut out the half skirt piece and trace around it to make one more identical for the back.
