Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: thin, non-fraying coat fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. Neoprene. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing; thin raglan shoulder pads; 5 buttons.

CUTTER'S MUST

FIRST OF ALL, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).
