I cannot measure because I would like to make this for a gift. She is about 5' 1" with large hips and a 24" waist. Usually, I am great at drafting patterns, but pregnancy brain is clouding my otherwise good seamstress judgement!

Some sewing machines can't handle a lot of bulk but you probably have an idea of if your machine can handle it.

I have such a terrible habit of recording everything on that channel to my Hopper DVR because I just end up wanting everything I see on it. I never thought that having such a big amount of recording space would actually be a bad thing. LOL! Thanks to you, now I can copy that skirt without having to spend any of my Dish paycheck! Yay! I’m not the best sewer, but I definitely think this is at least worth a try. I hope it turns out as well for me as it did for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521069842911049019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514506062058329688.post-37057201880155134132012-07-17T11:07:42.363-06:002012-07-17T11:07:42.363-06:00Hey Alexandra, I'm thinking if I were you I...Hey Alexandra, I'm thinking if I were you I'd make the two pieces 21" x 38".
