The Pattern is designed specifically for stretch and jersey fabrics. Single jersey cotton elastane or viscose is a great choice for this make but we’ve also made it velour, scuba jersey, ponti roma and true knit fabrics before so if you love experimenting with new fabrics, this really is the perfect style for it!

It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing XS – XXL, which approximately covers UK sizes 8 – 24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!
To make any hem or neckline variation you will need:
Fabric 150cm / 60" wide:
XS-M 1m
L-XXL 1.7m
To make the Long sleeve add 60cm
