FABRIC & TRIM OUTLINE:
TRIM REQUIREMENTS: Lightweight interfacing (fusing), 9mm (3/8") elastic for sleeve, 1-5 x 12mm (1/4") buttons.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: The gorgeous prints available in quilting cotton ranges is endless. Mix and match your prints with contrast binding & details.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: The following table outlines fabric requirements based on 110cm (44") fabric. Please note: (1) The estimates below do not include directional fabrics. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to help estimate fabric needs for directional fabric. (2) If you are sewing with rayon, remember to allow for shrinkage & buy a little extra. (3) Also it’s wise to pre-wash your fabrics, in particular rayon.
