you are bringing me to tears. my aunts mother and uncles were all in the textile industry in t but e 60's and 70's. my aunt was the president of the Philadelphia chapter of the ilgwu (?) we sing that "look for the union label" song everytime we visited her. sadly with the exception of my mom they are no longer with us....it breaks my heart that none of us had the wearwithall to glean from them this time honored skill set...oh how I regret what we took for granted.....Thank you I'm definitely a fan and follower

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your story.

[@sanajaffer6382]

[@Berapple26]

Thank you for posting. I love the project. But the waist measurement which is 41 for u. Did you double it or is supposed to be the actual waist of the model.?

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! I used my hip measurement because my hips are fuller than my waist.

[@siganiakate3732]

Très jolie !!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!!!

[@reddssladee]

How do you find calculated fabric for a width of 52". Is there a method for finding the fabric needed for a maxi skirt?

[@MontoyaMayo]

In the beginning I break down the different measurements to find out how much fabric you'll need. I have a worksheet as well that you can find on my blog
