To sew this sweatshirt, choose knit fabrics with the following properties:
- soft, breathable, non-stretch or with very little stretch, medium weight
- the fiber content can include natural fibers (wool, cotton), artificial fibers (viscose), blends (wool + polyester, cotton + polyester, cotton + elastane, etc.), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane)
- the following fabrics are recommended: thick French terry and lighter weight sweatshirting, jersey.
Attention! We do not recommend lightweight and very stretchy fabrics.
As an additional material for the waistband, cuffs, and neckband, we recommend using rib knits.
The sweatshirt in the photo is made of thick French terry. The fabric is thick and structured, it wrinkles and has very little stretch. The fiber content is 100% cotton. The fabric weight is 470 g/m2.
The waistband, cuffs, and neckband are made of ribbing. The rib knit fabric is soft and medium stretch. The fiber content is a blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. The fabric weight is 440 g/m2.
Important! If you can't find a rib knit that matches your main fabric, you can also sew the entire sweatshirt from one type of fabric.

2. Additional fabric (ribbing), 120 cm (47") wide, for all sizes in all heights — 30 cm (3/8 yd).
IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.
3. 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).
- stitch-in-the-ditch foot for topstitching (optional).
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.
