Suggested fabrics: 

Main: Medium to heavy bottomweight fabrics with little to no stretch such as denim, corduroy, twill and linen. Keep the strength of your sewing machine in mind when choosing the weight of your fabric as there are many steps with multiple layers to sew through.

Pocket lining: Lightweight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, cotton lawn, cotton voile, linen and rayon bemberg (1/2 yd/m).

Note: The size ranges have been drafted from different blocks. The 14 – 32 block has a slightly more curvy set of dimensions than the 0 – 18 block.

Both size ranges are drafted for an average height of 5’5″.
