Fabric - Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit fabric. It can be any weight: however, best results and fit will be achieved with a medium weight fabric such as jersey, double brushed poly, cotton lycra, and french terry.

Both 4-way and 2-way stretch fabrics will work. For 2-way stretch fabrics, take care to place pattern pieces as indicated for the grainline so the stretch is going the correct direction. Your fabric will also need at least 40% stretch to get the fit as designed. The stretch recovery of your fabric is just as important as the stretch percentage. This will ensure your top maintains its shape and fit for as long as possible and not become baggy.

If you are planning to nurse in the cami, we would recommend a 4-way stretch fabric for comfortable nursing access (note a specific nursing access is not included in the pattern, however, the cami can be used on its own or under other tops and the top section pulled down for nursing).

You will also need: 

  • OPTIONAL - You can either bind the cami with the same fabric you use for your top using the pattern pieces or measurements included, or you can used fold over elastic (FOE) for binding. If you wish to use FOE, you will need 2-3 yards.
  • Thread to match
