Sizes (includes both imperial and metric measurements): •Fits sizes 1/2 (about 9-12 months) to 14. •Chest sizes 19″-32″ or 46.2-81.2 cm •Waist sizes 19.5″-28″ or 49.5-71.1 cm •Hip sizes 19.5″-34″ of 49.5-86.3 cm Skill level: •Confident beginner- hemming the faux placket and gathering the ruffle may be more difficult for a beginner sewist. Suggested Fabrics: •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit. •Drafted for light to medium weight knits with at least 40% stretch, good recovery, and good drape. •Double brushed poly, triblend, cupro, modal, rib knit, rayon spandex, bamboo lycra, ITY etc. •Knits such as CL with more structure will give a fuller look while knits that have less recovery, such as rayon spandex, tend to ‘grow with wear’ and may fit looser/larger. Notions: •3-5 buttons (3/4” or smaller) or snaps. You can use larger buttons as well depending on your preference. •Optional- A stabilizer for the waist seam – you may use 1″ knit interfacing or clear or knit elastic (3/8″ or 1/2″) to stabilize the seams. My preference for this pattern is 1″ fusible knit stay tape. Optional Interfacing for functioning buttons. •Optional – Wash away hem tape. •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ball point, stretch, or jersey needle. Knit twin needle optional. Optional – Wash away hem tape. 4 PDF sizes included (all files include layers): •Print at home, trimless format in sizes: •US (8.5″ x 11″) The tutorial is 32 pages and pattern pieces are on 20 pages. 52 pages total. •A4 (8.25″ x 11.75″) The tutorial is 32 pages and pattern pieces are on 21 pages. 53 pages total. •A0/Copy shop (33.1″ x 46.8″) There is 1 A0 page. •Projector File with 2″ and 4cm measuring squares.
