  1. I would go for 2 to 3 yards (or I guess 2 to 3 meters). Out of that amount I would expect you could get a simple top and pants or a dress.

    You could also go poke around in the commercial pattern web sites. They have scanned the patterns (front and back) online.

  2. Usually we measure Length of whatever you make.
    x2= 2 lengths. Front and back.
    Then add 1 length of sleeve length.

    So if Length of dress is 40″. Sleeve l is 6″
    40×2= 80″
    + 12″
    ———————-
    92″
    ———————–

    If it is a Pant top. Same (Length x 2)+ (Sleeve L x2)

    For Pants you need 1.30 Meters
    If it is a special Pant fabric. Means width will be adequate.
    If not. If material is like 36″width, then you again need 2 lengths + belt.

    Skirts is also Lx2.

    So just measure your daughter’s required lengths, and it is done.

    I hope I have helped.

  3. I think you should have the patterns picked out ahead of time. Even if you don’t decide on a specific pattern, you can check the pattern package to get an idea of what you need. Even a little extra fabric won’t hurt…you can make matching hair scrunchies if she has long hair, or maybe a little purse to match, etc.
