Fabrics

This pattern is designed for knit fabrics with 25 - 75% stretch in the crosswise direction. These include (but are not limited to): light to medium weight jersey or interlock fabrics with or without lycra or spandex. The bindings can be made with the same fabric selection as the main body or with a contrasting fabric of a lighter weight than your main fabric (if you use a lightweight rib knit fabric you will need to significantly shorten the length of the binding pieces).

Other needs

  • a length of 25mm (1") knitted or woven elastic
  • Co-ordinating thread as needed
  • 40cm (15 3/4") x 15mm (5/8") cotton twill tape (optional)

Easy and quick sew. So lovely to find shorts for girls that are an appropriate length and not sexualised, but still fun 😊
