Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the pattern include a hanging step before hemming?
Maxi skirts cut with any bias angle will drop as the fabric relaxes. Hanging for 24 hours before marking the hem ensures an even floor-length result after the fabric settles.
How much fabric do I need for a maxi skirt?
It depends on your hip measurement and the flare amount. The pattern calculates the exact yardage, but plan for 3-4 yards at 44-60 inches wide for most sizes.
