2. Additional fabric (ribbing), 120 cm (47 1/4") wide, for all sizes and all heights - 0.11 m (1/8 yd).

Important! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.

3. Elastic, 4 cm (1 5/8") wide, 50–75 cm (19 5/8–29 1/2") long depending on the size and height. The exact elastic length can be found on the pattern pieces.

4. Matching thread - 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine and 4 spools for the overlocker).

- sewing machine for constructing the cuffs;

- overlocker for construction and for finishing raw edges. It may 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);

- bodkin for threading elastic through a channel (may be replaced with a safety pin).

IMPORTANT! When sewing knit fabrics, it’s recommended to use specialty needles for knits (such as stretch, super stretch, jersey, etc.). These are ballpoint needles with a rounded tip which allows the needle to pass in between the loops instead of piercing the threads.
