MATERIALS NEEDED:

-1.5 or more yards of fabric – To see exactly how much fabric you’ll need, follow the first couple steps of measuring to see how big your rectangular piece of fabric needs to be, and use that size to buy enough fabric (keeping in mind the width of the fabric, too). I used 1.5 yards of a fabric that was 58” wide.

-1.5 inch wide elastic – enough to wrap around your waist

-Basic sewing supplies – sewing machine, needle, thread, ball point needle (for stretch fabric), pins, tape measure, safety pin, scissors, etc.
