Fabric requirements

Made for knits with 65–70% stretch, like a medium to heavy-weight cotton jersey. It's drafted with negative ease for a snug fit, so avoid fabrics with less than 45% stretch. A stretch-test template is included.

Lining: None, the top is unlined.

Fabric needed:

  • 0.8–1 m (⅞–1⅛ yd) of 130–150 cm (51–59") wide fabric

Exact amounts per size and width are in the booklet.

Notions
  • Stretch machine needles, size 70–80
  • Wash-away double-sided tape, to hold the hems in place
  • Matching thread
  • Optional: a twin needle for the hems

No zip or buttons needed.
