📌 Tools & Supplies You’ll Need

Before you dive into sewing your Beau’ Petale Skirt, make sure you have the right tools and notions to achieve a polished, professional finish.

🧵 Notions:
Fusible Stretch Interfacing – Adds structure without compromising stretch.
Invisible Zipper (8” / 20cm) – Nylon Zipper Teeth #3, close-end for a seamless finish.

🛠️ Tools:
Zipper Foot or Clear Invisible Zipper Foot – A must-have for that ultra-clean closure.
A serger is not required, but for some knits you may like to use one. Alternatlvely, you might try a overlock or overcast foot on your regular sewing machine.
