Stretch Fabric Considerations & Sizing
For this sewing pattern, you must use stretch fabric. Stretch fabric can be quite unpredictable and different fiber combinations act differently. The pattern was sized with 100% cotton jersey fabric with horizontal stretch only and low shape retention. Please consider the following when selecting fabric and selecting size.
100% cotton jersey/100% cotton knit
Using stretch fabric that is 100% cotton jersey or cotton knit usually gives a looser more comfortable fit since there is no elastane. This fabric does not always have the best shape retention due to the lack of elastane, however, a 100% cotton garment can be favored by some since it is very soft and comfortable. Cotton is more sturdy than viscose jersey. Please consider that some cotton knit and cotton jersey fabric may be knitted much tighter or looser than others.
Cotton & elastane/spandex
A small percentage (5-8%) of elastane usually gives the fabric good shape retention and typically will not loosen over time. Please size up 1-2 sizes, if using this fabric combination, since it will make the stretch much stronger in some instances. Cotton is more sturdy than viscose jersey.
Viscose jersey & elastane/spandex
Viscose jersey provides a beautiful silky drape, but less breathability than 100% cotton. This drape looks beautiful with yoga pants that have a nice drape at the bottom. Pure viscose jersey has poor shape retention, however, adding a small percentage (5-8%) of elastane usually gives the fabric good shape retention.
100% cotton pointelle knit
Pointelle knit fabric with 100% cotton tends to become loose after use and does not retain shape well. It is not ideal for this sewing pattern. This is better for loose shorts, tank tops, slip dresses.
Disclaimer: this information may differ depending on fabric manufacturer and other aspects.
Jersey is a method of knitting yarn or thread to create natural stretch. Jersey is not a fiber like cotton.
Elastane and spandex are two names for the same thing. These are used in different parts of the world.
