This pattern can be made in "colorblock" style with different fabrics. In this case, we recommend choosing fabrics with equivalent weights for all pieces.
If two pieces need to be cut from a single color/fabric, choose the larger length between the two. Both pieces will fit within a 140 cm width. For example: for age 3, for the front upper panels (25 cm) and the hood (40 cm), you need a total of 40 cm of fabric with a 140 cm width.
If three pieces need to be cut from a single color/fabric, add the largest and smallest lengths of the three. For example: for age 3, for the front upper panels (25 cm), sleeves (30 cm), and hood (40 cm), you need a total of 65 cm (25 + 40) of fabric with a 140 cm width.
