Fabric requirements:
Fabric consumption depends on the width of the fabric and the size you are going to make. It also depends on the option you choose
to make: sleeveless, short sleeves, or long sleeves.
The amounts given below can be used as a reference to approximate fabric consumption if the fabric is at least 59 inches/150 cm wide. It is also given for the most fabric-consuming option: long sleeves, the long skirt option, and pockets.
Please, consider that natural fabrics like cotton shrink, so measure after pre-wash.
