Fabric requirements Show/hide details
0.75 - 1.75 yards The fabric amounts are based on using pre-quilted fabric. If you are quilting your own fabric, you will need the required amount of material for your garment for each of the layers: main fabric, batting, and lining. When selecting your fabric, you may need more to account for shrinkage and if there is a directional pattern. You will also need fabric to make your own bias tape or 6-8 yards of pre-made 2” bias tape (1/2” double fold bias tape)
