For this tutorial, you will need. Knit fabric pins, soft stretch, light a jersey or. Ballpoint. Needle printed pattern. A rotary cutter tape, an iron and an ironing board. For this pattern, I recommend that you use a medium weight knit fabric with a content of 95% cotton, 5% Lycra or spandex. Having at least 5% Lycra or spandex is really going to allow your fabric to have elasticity and bounce back to its original shape without getting stretched out over time. Some other suitable fabrics that you could use for this pattern are double brushed polyester, French terry or even rayon spandex. Now it is essential that you use a fabric with at least 50% stretch, especially on the waistband. If you’re not sure what that means, take a four inch piece of fabric. Stretch it. It should stretch to at least six inches.
