INSTRUCTIONS: Make a pattern–using the instructions–out of muslin to test for size. Use muslin pattern to cut out the Ultrasuede skirt.

1. Fold 1 3/4 yards of 45-inch-wide muslin in half, so it is 30 by 45 inches. (Use a bit more muslin if you are making a skirt larger than a size 8). Orient the fabric so that the fold is on your right-hand side. Mark 10 inches up on the folded edge (from the lower right-hand corner), and draw a convex curved line to the lower-left hand corner.

2. Mark a spot on the edge opposite the fold about 39 inches up from the bottom. From that mark, draw a convex curved line to the upper right-hand corner (the other folded edge). Cut on lines, rounding the lower left-hand corner. Wrap skirt around waist to fit. If skirt is not big enough to overlap about 9 to 10 inches, repeat step 1, cutting a deeper curve from bottom end.

3. Trace oatmeal container to make shal-low scallops along top. Cut scalloped edge through both layers at waist. Fold back top layer, and trace scallops around one end. Wrap skirt around waist to overlap; let scallop end drape.

4. Take finished muslin pattern and pin to Ultrasuede fabric (folded in half, so its 30 by 45 inches); mark pattern with chalk. Cut out pattern with scissors.

5. Wrap skirt around waist to overlap; let scal-lop drape.

6. Mark closure spot on bottom layer with pin. Sew button on marked spot. Snip a small slit for buttonhole.

*CHEAT SHEET: Or . . . if you want you can use our cutting diagram (above left) instead. This template is best for a size 6; to make it bigger move the pattern back from the fold. Print out pages A1-C5 (15 pages total); arrange on a table to match grid below; tape pattern together; pin to muslin; cut out pat-tern; try on; use muslin pattern to attach to Ultrasuede.
