🧵 Fabric Recommendations - Light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as:
• Linen blends
• Cotton poplin
• Light denim or chambray
• Viscose/rayon
• Soft twill

📐 Fabric Requirements:
Two suggested options only — for the smallest and largest sizes — based on an optimal fabric width. This avoids confusion, as fabric needs vary widely between fabrics and sizes. You may safely follow the largest layout for all sizes.

Culottes (long version):
* Size S: 150 × 100 cm (59" × 40")
* Size 2XL: 150 × 130 cm (59" × 52")

Shorts require less fabric than culottes.

To find out the AMOUNT for a particular FABRIC in your size, you might like taking your pattern to the fabric shop – their assistants are always happy to help.

Otherwise, do it yourself:

  • stretch a flat bed-sheet on a table or floor;
  • fold it to the width of the material you plan to use;
  • arrange ALL pattern pieces paying attention to the grainline desired-directions and seam allowances;
  • measure the length you have got.
