What you will need: 

r

Sewing machine

r

Overlocker/serger (optional)

r

Twin needle (optional, but really nice to have)

r

Thread

A coverstitch machine can also be used for topstitching and hems. But it’s in no way needed.

Suggested fabrics: light to medium weight knits with at least 30% stretch, such as cotton jersey, viscose jersey, and ponte di roma. See the stretch guide in the pattern file. A fabric with more structure is better than a fabric that is too flowy and slippery. For view A, you will need two contrasting fabrics to create the illustrated design. It’s designed so that fabric A is a lighter color and fabric B has a darker tone—rules are meant to be broken, though, do you! Try to use two fabrics that are as similar as possible when it comes to drape and weight (view A).

Note: I suggest you use a program like Adobe Reader for printing. It’s great for PDF patterns, free download here. Print on A4 or Letter size paper. Instructions included.
