You can add a single or double side seam slit to the midi or maxi lengths. Kali is perfect for vacations, everyday wear, family photos, date nights, or special occasions. You’re going to love Kali!

Skill level:

Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. This pattern has been drafted for fabric that has 60% stretch and 4-way stretch.
  • Brushed polyester, brushed ribbed knit, some ribbed knits, cot-ton lycra, athletic knit etc. all work well.
    • Fabrics with less recovery, such as rayon spandex and ITY, may “grow” with wear and fit longer than intended and are not recommended for the binding pieces. If you do use it for binding, adding knit interfacing will help prevent the grow-ing that the garment can do.

Notions:

• •Shelf bra option- 1″ knit elastic
• •Optional- 1/2″ knit hem tape for hemming.
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, safety pin or bodkin, and marking tool. Ball point, stretch, or jersey needle.
