I am scared to draw a pattern myself as I made a test stripe with gingham fabric and ended up with a required width of 49 inches of fabric..........for the front only. What is a girl of 18 month doing with almost 100 inches of fabric around her knees???
I also don't have an idea on how I had to cut the seam line of the fabric that it will have the proper shape after smoking as I am not very experienced in sewing clothes. (as you might know I can sew broccoli........)

I might guess you bought the wrong size gingham checks? They do go from 1/8" to 1" checks. Try again with a smaller check?
