2. Lining fabric for all sizes and heights — 0.15 m (1/8 yd).
IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.
3. Clear elastic, 1 cm (3/8") wide, for all sizes and heights — 17 cm (6 3/4").
4. Snap tape, 1.7 cm (5/8") wide, with snaps 1 cm (3/8") apart, for all sizes and heights — 7 cm (2 3/4").
5. Elastic, 0.8 cm (just under 3/8") wide — 86–130 cm (33 7/8–51 1/8"), depending on the size. The exact elastic length is specified in the pattern.
6. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker).
- 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 and sleeve hems, the neckline, as well as the edges of the shaped cutout. It can be replaced with a twin needle on a regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch
- one-sided foot
- latch hook. It can be replaced with a large-eye needle
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.
