FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DXF AAMA PATTERN 2670
Use lightweight to medium-weight knit fabrics with good stretch and recovery, such as jersey, viscose knit, or cotton spandex blends. Fabrics with around 5-10% elastane or spandex content will allow for the gathered front to drape nicely while providing comfort and flexibility for movement. For a more elevated look, consider modal or bamboo knit for added softness and fluidity. Avoid rigid or non-stretch fabrics, as they won’t allow the design’s natural drape and comfort.
CUTTER’S MUST FOR A DXF AAMA SEWING PATTERN 2670
From the chosen fabric cut the following pattern pieces:
Back – 1 piece
Side back – 1 piece
Front – 1 piece
Side front – 1 piece
USEFUL TIP
When sewing jersey fabrics, use a special elastic stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. When overlocking, trim the seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is sewn using a twin needle or a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out according to the fabric width (the fabric width can range from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much fabric you will need (don’t forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).
When joining the pieces, pay attention to the notches — they must align!
