Help with 60 degree tree skirt fabric needs
OK, sorry to start one of those threads, but I'm placing an order to do a two sided tree skirt, one side will be 6 pieces (so each will be a 60 degree triangle) the other will use my dresden wedge and that one is 18 degrees.
The 60 degree side I'm just going to pick 6 different fabrics (and use the scrap for other stuff) the fabrics are directional so I need them to be long enough so the triangle fits. The problem is I don't own the ruler I want yet (the 6.5" x 24" with the 60* angle marked on it) so I can't measure it on another fabric to see how much I need. I will be wanting the skirt to be around 45" or so (doesn't have to be exact) so I'll need it to go to the 23" mark. So measuring from the edge using the 60* line up to 23" mark how many inches of fabric is that? Is half a yard enough? Will I need to go to .75 yds? I tried to look this up online and just can't find what I need. So I'm sorry to bug everyone, but I need it ASAP.
thanks!!
