Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

To achieve the beautiful drape and comfort of this design, select knit fabrics with medium to high stretch:

  • Double-sided knit fabrics
  • Natural or blended fiber knits

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

CUTTER'S MUST

  • From main fabric:
  • 1. BACK PANEL – 1 QTY on fold
  • 2. FRONT PANEL – 1 QTY on fold
  • 3. SLEEVE – 2 QTY
  • 4. Insert – 1 QTY
  • 5. COLLAR – 1 QTY

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics should be stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
