Sewing advice

Sew with a ball point needle using either a small zig zag (2.5mm length, 0.5mm width) or a stretch stitch. Tip...if the seam is wavy lengthen your stitch, if the seam is puckering then shorten your stitch.Insert cotton tape into seams that are not intended to stretch, for example the shoulder seams.  Use a 4mm twin stretch needle to hem the garment, allow the garment to hang for a few hours before hemming or you can stabalise the hem with a strip of interfacing or Steam-a-seam fusing tape.

The perfect interfacing for this fabric is H609 which has the the flexibility and stretch ensuring that the drape and feel of the fabric is not compromised

Washing/ care instructions

Pre wash on 30 degrees before cutting out, dry flat, do not tumble dry.

Pattern Suggestion

T-shirt maybe the Isla top by Tessuti fabrics though  be a little careful with batwinged sleevesif you have a large bust, if this is the case the mandy boat tee would be better.  Grainlines lark and linden are always a good choice. Helens closet do a great top called the dawson which has a scooped neckline flattering for the larger bust, as is the sew house seven tabor v-neck topor the "I am" milor pattern all of these iwould style with either a pinafore or skirt made from the chuncky cord or a plain denim. This small overall pattern would lend itself to a simple tunic like the Burda 6189 or Tessuiti Frankie top/dress. If you are partial to a wrap dress which is flattering for all shapes Sew over it Georgie dress, Simplicity 9600, Sew me something cordelia, vogue 8379 are all ones to consider. Would also make great PJ's.
