Pads Hats
Posted on Thursday, April 1st, 2010 at 4:17 amHow do I read this sewing pattern?
ok, I need to find out how much material I need. Heres what it says:
D Costume: Bondice and skirt
45"** 1 1/4, 1 1/4, 1 1/4, 1 3/8, 1 1/2, Yd
Sleeves and Hat- 7/8 yd. 45"**
Interfacing-3/4 yd. of 22" to 36" heavyweight fusible
Wire Edged Ribbon-1 5/8 yd of 1 3/8" wide
...it says that ** means with nap. Here is what I think. I wanted to go with the smallest size so 1 1/4 yd for the skirt plus another 7/8 yd. for the sleeves. I am assuming that the material is the same for the sleeves, hat, and Wire Ribbon. ?? What I am most confused about is what 45"** means and what is heavyweight fusible? Is that some kind of padding or something? If it isnt then does it have to be the same as the other fabric?
I'm so lost, please help me.
I meant to ask I am assuming that the AMOUNT of material for the sleeves, interfacing, and ribbon are the same for ALL SIZES. ??
45" is the width of the fabric. It's a pretty standard measurement for fabric. With nap means a fabric like courdouroy, or suede. It has a raised feel to it. Go without if you can, trust me!!!
Interfacing is what you use on the INSIDE to give body and substance to the finished product. Heavyweight will make whatever it is your making pretty stiff. Your interfacing will be black or white. Doesn't show, doesn't matter.
The wire Edge Ribbon is for some sort of trim on the dress. Buy the same color or a complementing color or whatever you want.
Yes, for the smallest size, 1 1/4 yard, plus 7/8 yard..........
Edited to add..........if you take your pattern to a fabric store, such as JoAnn's the ladies working will be most willing to help you decide, measure and be able to explain to you exactly what you need. 
another edit, LOL, yes you are correct. Same amount for all sizes if that's the only listing for that category.....
