My very slow start at sewing has run into trouble. In case it would help anyone else, I watched videos on how to interpret sewing patterns and got a person at the crafts store (JoAnn) to help me interpret the pattern instructions and pick out fabric, but I immediately hit a problem.
The pattern says it needs 1 and 3/4 yards of fabric for the size, but it doesn't say that the 2 largest pieces are supposed to be cut around a fold along the center of the fabric. so, there is no way that that is enough fabric, unless i am missing something. I am guessing that the total area of the fabric would be enough, if you didn't need to consider the grain and if there wasn't the folding requirement.
Is this typical?
