Skirt math

[colliemommie]

Katrina ' s German renn gown is going to be blue linen with two yellow linen bands on the skirt. I am NOT applique - ing the bands, the skirt is over 100 inches in circumference.

So, for a 29 inch length skirt I need: (asterisked lines will contribute to finished length)

1 inch blue for turning under
*17 inches blue field
1/2 inch blue seam allowance
1/2 inch yellow seam allowance
*2 inches yellow band
1/2 inch yellow seam allowance
1/2 inch blue seam allowance
*2 inches blue band
1/2 inch blue seam allowance
1/2 inch yellow seam allowance
*4 inches yellow band
1/2 inch yellow seam allowance
1/2 inch blue seam allowance
*4 inches blue band
3 inches hem allowance

I've learned to write these things down in excruciating detail, or I screw it up. I really don't like rotary cutting.
