SUGGESTED FABRICS: Medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 50% stretch and good recovery -- 58"/60" wide. Try Stretch Fleece, French Terry, Stretch Velvet, Velour, Ponte de Roma or Sweater Knits. You may use Cotton Lycra or Jersey for a lightweight top. Use Rib Knits or a fabric with high lycra content for the cuffs and neck bands. For the shirttails, use a light- to medium-weight woven fabric like quilting cotton, shirting or lawn.

NOTIONS: A package of clear elastic or skinny strips of knit interfacing for stabilizing seams on unstable knits (OPTIONAL).
