How much fabric do you need for your diy peasant top pattern?

Using a width of 140-150cm, the table below outlines how much fabric you need for your size. The placement of the pieces will need to be adjusted to fit your available width if you will be working with a different fabric width or have a design that needs symetry (like stripes etc)

Check your contraction!

You should always wash your fabric before cutting it. This will ensure that the sizing is accurate and there won't be any shrinkage after the first wash. In addition, any excess dyes will be removed.
