Yes, this could be adapted for an adult, but you would need to use 2 widths of fabric instead of just one.

Hello sewists! This is the first in my series of 2 minute tutorials. I know how exasperating it can be to watch a long video of a concept or technique. I will still be doing a lot of those. I have been doing videos for Creative Spark which is the video educational platform for C&T Publishing. These are creative, in depth videos of techniques and patterns. But, I wanted to
