Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit.
• •Main fabric- Drafted for a lightweight knit with at least 40% stretch and a good drape.
  • Rayon spandex, jersey, rayon french terry, ITY, modal, bamboo lycra, brushed poly, tri-blend, cupro, etc.
  • Knits that have less recovery, such as rayon spandex, tend to ‘grow with wear’ and may fit looser/larger.
  • Medium or heavyweight fabrics, poly french terry, or fabrics with strong recovery (such as cotton lycra) will not drape well and are not recommended.
• •Neckband fabric- choose a fabric with good stretch and recovery.
  • If using a knit with less recovery for your neckband, such as rayon spandex or rib knit with less recovery, you may need to adjust the length of your neckband.

Notions:

• •Optional: 1/2″ wash away hem tape, knit twin needle, 1/4″-1/2″ clear or knit elastic and/or 1″ knit interfacing to stabilize the shoulder and color-blocked seams.
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ballpoint, stretch, or jersey needle.
