I always aim for minimum input and maximum output (the techniques involved in this outfit are novice for sure). But you're right,it is an unholy amount of material!!! If I had done some math prior to going to the fabric store (twice) the skirt probably would have been scaled down just a bit. Nevertheless, I'm sure glad things turned out the way they did.
