Spoonflower Information

The gradients designed for manga Super Sailor Moon and Super Chibi Moon are available for purchase on Spoonflower!Here is some supplemental information that I was not able to fit in the Spoonflower description:
The skirt fabric is designed to print a whole circle on a single yard. The gradient is 6". You will need more than one yard to make a pleated skirt. For reference, I am a US size 4-6 and I used 2 yards to create my 2-circle box pleated fuku skirt. The skirt is 11" finished at its longest point. You can make yours longer if you prefer, but it may require an extra yard due to decreased waist circumference. Please note that I cut each yard as a skirt that would fit my waist without any pleating—the combined circles/yardage allowed me to pleat.
The collar fabric was designed for my old ~18" long sailor collar pattern. You can cut out 2 collar pieces per double-sided gradient and will only need one yard to make both Moon and Chibi Moon.For all Sailor Moon prints, I recommend silky faille (now discontinued). The new cotton lawn and poly crepe de chine may be good substitutions. If you have any questions, feel free to message me!
