But I think 2x as big around is normally enough, although if it's long, it'll look a little awkward if it's narrow at the bottom so I would use two PANELS of fabric. For 45" fabric, that's 90" around--plenty full!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-4437447421739424072012-12-03T07:38:21.261-08:002012-12-03T07:38:21.261-08:00Thanks!

I mark the center front, back, and sides on the skirt before I gather, and mark the centers on the elastic with pins, then distribute evenly between those four points and pin in place!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-83732987061117116722012-11-29T17:04:23.816-08:002012-11-29T17:04:23.816-08:00These are great.

Twice as wide?<br />I'm always afraid of either making it too wide and have the gathers look kind of bulky and unflattering and not having enough gathers.Kessemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244901633976072691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-34871643790512009342012-11-27T06:05:27.606-08:002012-11-27T06:05:27.606-08:00That's it!
