A very detailed sewalong but because the fabric is dark it was a bit hard to see some of the vent instructions. Having said that I really appreciate all of the work you put into the sewalong.
Hi Louise, this is an "easy" pattern which would be suitable for beginners. The pattern can be made in both woven and stretch fabrics - for beginners we would recommend using a stable woven fabric such as a cotton poplin.
Hi Louise, the fabric requirements will depend on which view you choose to make, the size you re making and the width of your fabric. The back of the pattern envelope will show the fabric requirements for all sizes and views - you can see a photo of the back of the pattern on our product page here: www.minerva.com/mp/1000927/new-look-sewing-pattern-6145
