2. Lightweight knit interfacing, 140cm (55”) wide, for all sizes and heights - 5cm (2”). Straight grain fusible tape, 1cm (3/8") wide - 0.5–1m (1/2–1 1/8yd).
3. Elastic, 4cm (1 5/8") wide, 65cm–1m (3/4–1 1/8yd) long depending on the size and height. The length is indicated on the pattern.
4. Twill tape - 0.9–1.3m (1–1 3/8yd) depending on the size.
5. Matching thread - 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker).
- sewing machine for construction;
- buttonhole foot for the sewing machine;
- overlocker for construction and finishing seam allowances. This can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3mm, stitch length 2.5mm);
- bodkin/elastic threader (can be replaced with a safety pin).
Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These are ballpoint needles, so they part the threads of the fabric you are stitching rather than piercing them.
