Supply List for Bias Cut Beginner Skirt

  • Pattern Required: McCalls 2255 (available at Modern Domestic, or online here).
  • 2 yds of light- to medium-weight fabric.  Natural fiber is better.  Consider using light denim, cotton, silk, or lightweight wool.
  • 1.75 yards of coordinating fold-over elastic.  I’m asking for a little extra so we can practice applying it. Wider is better–it’s easier to work with. Available at Bolt, Fabric Depot, and Mill End.
