FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
-
Main fabric
IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.
-
Clear elastic, 0.8 cm (just under 3/8") wide — 30 cm (3/8 yd)
-
Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)
EQUIPMENT
-
sewing machine for construction
-
overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)
-
coverstitch or coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. If you don’t have a coverstitch machine, it can be replaced with a twin needle on any regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch
IMPORTANT! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
