Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. Drafted for light to medium weight 4 way knit with at least 30% stretch. 2-way stretch fabrics are not recommended.
  • •Sweater knits, rib knits, modal, and rayon blends are recommended for a looser drapey top, perfect for athletic or leisurewear.
  • •A looser sweater knit will give a slouchier look and some sweater knits may ‘grow’ in length and width with wear.
  • •A knit with less stretch or a lot of recovery, or a knit with more structure, such as cotton lycra, DBP, stretch velvets, and rayon french terry, will look more fitted and have more structure.

Notions:

• •Tank top option: 3/8″ clear elastic.
• •Optional: 1/2″ wash away hem tape, knit twin needle, 1/4″ or 3/8″ clear elastic.
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ballpoint, stretch, or jersey needle.
