Fabric Recommendations
This pattern requires between 1.2 - 2.5 yds/meters of woven fabric depending on the size you choose.
Light to mid-weight wovens are recommended for this pattern, but a heavy denim would also work nicely (as seen in our website). The pockets must be made from a light weight woven such as cotton lawn or voile. Some possible wovens could include; linen, viscose, tencel, denim, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, quilting cotton, cotton twill etc.
Although this pattern was designed for woven fabrics, it could easily be adapted for use with knit fabrics as well.
