    As a sewing-newbie, I've got a couple questions (with more to come). I just love this skirt and really want to do it.

    1. I don't have any lastin. Can I get it at JA's? Can I make it w/out the lastin? What's the purpose of it?

    2. I don't understand the reasoning on the lengths of lastin used. IOW, how do I know how long to cut it for my sized skirt?

    3. Approx. how much fabric does it use for a women's Med. or Large size?

    TIA to anyone who answers and thank you to Kori!!

    Maybe I should start a new thread for these questions.

    You can get clear elastic at Joanns. I don't think it's called lastin. I use the lastin to gather. There are different methods to gather as well.

    2. I don't understand the reasoning on the lengths of lastin used. IOW, how do I know how long to cut it for my sized skirt? I think I explained it above but I cut the lastin for each tier an inch smaller than the tier above it that I'll be attaching it too.

    3. Approx. how much fabric does it use for a women's Med. or Large size? I'm pretty sure it was less than 2 yards of 60" wide knit.

    HTH.

    Thank you, Kori. It really helps. I found clear elastic at JA's last night. Sorry to have you repeat for #2. I must have missed it the first go around. Sometimes concentrating is tough w/3 boys clawing at me.

    Re: Kori Skirt Sew Along *added to downloads*

    I love this tutorial- I was just thinking last night of trying to figure out how to make DD and I matching skirts for the summer. I was going to use Heather Ross fabric though---hmmmm--- but I wonder if I can still use the tut and put a knit waistband without it looking too crazy?

    Re: Kori Skirt Sew Along *added to downloads*

    I'm sure you can. Kori used to sell skirts like that (not sure if she still does) and they were lovely.

    edit: her woven ones were basically an a-line with that waistband. Let me see if I can find some pics.

    I'd like to make matching Mama & DD skirts for Mother's day-- but I am still ISO the fabric that I'd like to use. I was looking around the site for the ISO section when I came across this thread again THANKS GIRLS!!!

    ISO O+S Bedtime Story PJs pattern size 4-8
    (possibly interested in any other O+S patterns!)
    & Kwik Sew 3501
    ANY CONDITION - Thanks!
