Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics with no stretch. Linen, cotton (lawn, poplin, voile, batiste, seersucker, shirting, chambray, quilting cotton, flannel), wool, hemp, rayon/viscose challis or poplin, and Tencel will work well. Structured fabric will have more dramatic volume and drapier fabrics will have more fluid movement. For beginner sewists, the designer recommends using lightweight cotton.

Fabric requirements: Allow extra fabric for napped and directional prints, or pattern matching with plaids, stripes and novelty prints.
