HOMEWORK prior to workshop:
This project does have quite a bit of cutting. In order to be ready to learn the tricky part of this project during the workshop, it is best to have completed the cutting, and creating the strip sets.
CUTTING: Skirt colors A, B, C, D: Cut 8 strips each - 2 3/4" wide Since all strips are the same width, you may layer your fabric and cut all four colors at the same time. Pin and label color groups together.
Optional Ruffle: Cut 8 strips 8 1/2" wide.
SEWING the Strip sets: Use an exact 1/4" seam allowance throughout this pattern.
Sew the strip sets together in the following order:
strip set 1: A-B-C-D-A-B-C-D
strip set 2: B-C-D-A-B-C-D-A
strip set 3: C-D-A-B-C-D-A-B
strip set 4: D-A-B-C-D-A-B-C
Label each strip set (1, 2, 3, or 4) and indicate on the label which side it "top". Be careful not to turn the strip sets around.
Iron strip sets 1 and 3 toward the top of the strip set, and iron sets 2 and 4 toward the bottom of the strip set.
