Material for an everyday maxi skirt - you’ll need about 2.5 yards of wide fabric (mine was 52 inches wide). You definitely want to use a lightweight, drapey fabric. Stiffer fabrics like quilting cotton just won’t look good. Wash and dry it however you plan to treat the finished garment. We will have the elastic for you to use.
