X-Marks "Cheerleader" Skirt

[way2fractious]

I don't think I'll be able to do much more today, so anyone who reads this and sees a glaring calculation error-please let me know! Once I start ripping fabric, I can't go back!

I'm guessing all your calculations are based on hip (or "rump") measurements. In that case, 11 reveals of 2.75 each is 30.25 inches, plus the 10-inch apron makes 40.25 inches total. That should still give you enough for the seam allowances. Don't forget seam allowances for the apron edges, too.

One word of caution: Ripping 3-inch strips of tartan can be dicey. Even if it doesn't go sideways on you, you'd still lose threads from the ripped edges which you need for the seam allowances. [deep voice] This case calls for scissors, Doctor.

(p.s. Irreplaceable tartan? Nahh. Squeeze out more just by cutting Panache's caloric intake so his XMarks kilt can be made smaller from his 4-yard tartan order. )

Have you SEEN Panache? There's not much of the boy to spare. That trick would work just fine with most of the rest of us, but not him.

I'll look forward to seeing the finished product, FHCAG.
