Maybe the first part reads better: "Take a piece of material 36 x 25 cm, add seam allowances and cut." |

I have another proposal, if that one is weird too, please reject it.
"Cut one piece of skirt material 36 x 25 cm, include seam allowances before cutting. Fold the material double, right side against right side, so the bolt width will be 18 cm and sew along the open edge." |

| | Pia, what is "skirt material"? A piece of cloth to make a skirt?
right side against right side? facing the right side of the pieces?
bolt width?
I think I'd better learn a little sewing! |

| piasPočet příspěvků: 8114 | I'm not an expert on sewing neither, but I think:
skirt material = the pice of material used for a skirt, I don't know why it's specific "kjolestoff", but I guess you don't use curtain fabric to a skirt...
bolt width = breadth
right side = the reverse side of the fabric, the side of the fabric you will not see, when the skirt is ready ... |

Kjolestoff er mer slang...det blir ikke brukt til daglig..fabric er det rette. |

"kjolestoff" is not a word, fabric is the right way to go. |

| piasPočet příspěvků: 8114 | Just a question Lilian, what's the difference between "piece of material" and "piece of fabric", isn't it the same? |

| | They are synonyms, (fabric, textile, cloth, material) however, "cloth" or "fabric" is more usual to talk about pieces of clothing. "material" has a more general use, it can be anything of which thing are made. |
