FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: 
The following table outlines fabric requirements based on 110cm (44") fabric.

Please note: (1) The estimates below do not include directional fabrics. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to help estimate fabric needs for directional fabric. (2) If you are sewing with rayon, remember to allow for shrinkage & buy a little extra.  (3) Also it’s wise to pre-wash your fabrics, in particular rayon.

      Great value pattern with lots of options

      The Lovebug A-line Skirt is the second pattern I've made for Miss 7. As with the Honeybuns Shorts this garment is a simple make thanks to concise instructions and photos to help you at every step. Miss 7 enjoyed the process of choosing her favourite design elements, selecting her fabrics then watching as her one of a kind skirt came together.

      I love her patterns

      I made a cute Xmas skirt for my daughter and this skirt came out just wonderful. The pattern and pattern instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Any beginner who is ready to venture out and try an easy skirt pattern will love it.
      And I also love how you always get some extra bonuses of little adjustments and ideas how to make your skirt look unique.
      If you want to try a simple skirt pattern don't think twice you will love this pattern!
