If you instruct a pattern piece should be cut on the fold, and that pattern piece is 34 cms wide, the material you are cutting from should be MORE THAN 68 CMS WIDE.
Instructing sewers to purchase 60 cms of material will result in vexed sewers who find your amusing translations ("zipper toosties" was a good one) still leave the skirt unfinished because they will have to find more fabric.
Yours,
needs to do laundry before work tomorrow as she does not have a cute skirt to wear.
