I am still trying to rustle up something for my stepson's wedding (as in my diary thread). I hadn't found anything I liked so far, but ordered 3 metres of fabric from The Textile Centre in hopes.
Sew Today magazine arrived today and this is featured:
http://www.sewdirect.com/acatalog/Vogue-V9236.htmlI had managed to miss this one before, but thought it might be quite nice under a jacket. However, the stated yardage is 4 metres for the longer version and I now can't get any more of the fabric. Looking at it though, I can't see why it would take so much fabric. It does have a fullish skirt , but doesn't look as if it's that full. Other patterns I've looked at (also with full skirts) come in at 3 metres or less. I would have to shorten it of course.
Am I missing something obvious? There are two reviews on SewDirect but neither mentions this.
