Don...Sorry, maybe I get better what your saying. Don't cut along the fold. What you want in the end is around 90" of fabric around your body (less the waistband if you steal it from the selvage side of your skirt, if you choose to do it that way).

Does that answer it? You could keep it folded and cut it, too, though. I'm having a hard time envisioning two pieces of fabric folded in half, so I don't think that's it. (Do you mean cut them out at the same time? You could do that, save yourself a cut).<br /><br />I'm going to be a ma this summer, too!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450808986911204788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420857815326086118.post-52258587474522568522014-06-17T18:33:03.638-06:002014-06-17T18:33:03.638-06:00Sorry for the dumb question. When you lay out you...Sorry for the dumb question. When you lay out your "two lengths of fabric" did you get those by cutting one 45 width piece of fabric in half at the fold? Or do you have two pieces of fabric folded in half? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks for all your great post. I am going to be a trek Ma this summer!
