Fabric and Yardage

The Bernadette Skirt is designed for woven fabrics. Any sort of medium weight woven is suitable. If you choose a fabric like a mid-weight twill or denim you will get a more structured skirt. If you choose a drapier fabric like a rayon challis or silk, you will get a flowier skirt.

You may need to purchase extra yardage if your fabric has a heavy nap, is directional, striped, or has an obvious repeat.

You will need 1/2 yard [.5 meters] of fusible interfacing and 1/4 yard [.2 meters] of lining fabric (for the belt bag).
