Fabric recommendations
For both variations, choose either a light or medium-weight fabric, preferably drapey or with a slight drape. Good options include, for example: viscose challis and crepe, cotton lawn, or washed linen. You can buy ready-made cord for the drawstring, or sew a cord from your own fabric. Cord sewing instructions are included in the pattern.
Materials
- Fusible interfacing, 30 cm (1/4”)
- 2 cm (3/4”) elastic, your waist measurement
- (Cord for drawstring, your waist measurement + 80 cm/32”)
Use a premade cord for the drawstring, or make one from your fabric.
