FABRIC SUGGESTIONS:

Designed for 4-way stretch knit fabrics - this means that your fabric needs elastane (lycra/spandex) & good resilience (the stretch bounces back).

Viscose or rayon elastane knits, Double brushed poly (DBP), Single brushed poly (SBP), Stretch knit crepe, Poly elastane knits, Cotton Lycra, Bamboo Lycra, Athletic knit, Swim spandex, Modal Lycra, Cupro, ITY, Wool jersey, Ponte*, Double knits*, Jacquard knits*.

THICK FABRICS* highlighted above aren't suitable for the gathered skirt.

SEWING WITH RIB KNIT: This pattern was not designed with rib knit in mind. Be aware that it stretches more & wears larger on the body than other fabrics. I don't recommend it for this pattern unless you're an experience rib knit user & know how to adjust a pattern accordingly.
