3. 5.5 cm (2 1/8") of lightweight interfacing.
4. 1.7 m (1 7/8 yd) of 1 cm (3/8") wide twill tape for the waistband casing.
5. 1.3 m (1 3/8 yd) of 1.5 cm (5/8") wide knit piping.
Alternatively, you can make your own piping. You will need:
- 3.5 cm (1 3/8") of 160–180 cm (63–70") wide lightweight knit fabric;
- 1.3 m (1 3/8 yd) of cotton cord, 3 mm (1/8") in diameter.
6. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker).
7. Matching thread for the piping — 1 spool.
8. Stitched bias-cut fusible stay tape with stitch reinforcement, 1 cm (3/8”) wide — 0.6 m (5/8 yd).
- sewing machine for construction;
- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. This 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);
- elastic threader (may be replaced with a safety pin);
- one-sided foot for piping;
- buttonhole foot.
Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These are ballpoint needles, they part the threads of the fabric you are stitching rather than piercing them.
