Jackrose, the initial instructions say 45 inch of fabric is needed, selvage to selvage (top to bottom of design). I don't think i can do that, because of the one direction thang, so the fairies are the right way up. i think i will have to have that rectangle going ACROSS the fabric, not top to bottom of the fabric (to have fairies facing right way).

if i have ordered 1.5 yards, that is 54 inches apparently.
quilter's cotton is less wide that dress fabric isn't it? and i'm assuming what i've bought is quilter's cotton.

if you think i should order an extra 2 FQ's, jump in and say, and i will contact the seller immed to get two more.

double her length. i'm guessing the length of skirt might need to be 50cm (tops) when finished.

gee sewing is complicated. i think you need to understand spatial concepts and maths and conversions really well. pity bout that.

must keep remembering, even if it all goes pearshaped, i could always make nice cushion covers out of it, it will be ok, it will be ok, it WILL be ok.


PS just worked out,
1.5 yd = 1.3716 m
