Fabric Requirements

This pattern is drafted for fabric with 20% stretch.

Follow these instructions to calculate your fabric stretch percentage:

IMPERIAL:
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold fabric with your left fingers at 0", right fingers at 5".
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you've stretched the fabric.
Calculate "stretched measurement" minus 5; divide number by 5 and multiply by 100
e.g. stretch from 5" to 7":
7-5=2
2/5=0.4
0.4 x 100 = 40%

METRIC:
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold the fabric with your left fingers at 0 cm, right fingers at 10 cm.
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you've stretched the fabric.
Stretch up to 16 cm → 60% stretch, stretch up to 12 cm → 20% stretch.

COMMON STRETCH PERCENTAGES:
5" to 5 1/2" = 10%
5" to 6" = 20%
5" to 7" = 40%
5" to 8" = 60%

Skill Level

Intermediate. Making a toile (mockup) before cutting into your fashion fabric is strongly recommended.
