FABRIC SUGGESTION Use stretch knit fabrics with good recovery and at least 50% crosswise stretch. I recommend at least 5% spandex.
You want to avoid rib knits and interlock-knit fabrics since the ends do not roll as single jersey does. Single jersey is basically what most T-shirts are made off. The edge of the jersey will naturally curl to the right side of the fabric.
You can use cotton spandex (lycra, elastane), rayon (viscose, modal, lyocell) spandex or other blends with spandex. Light or midweight fabrics give best result.

What I do and love: Designing & sewing & pattern cutting > Versatile women's wear with a playful twist. I'm inspired by the slow fashion movement and I use organic cotton and sustainable fibers where I can. Besides that I like to knit, embroider, drink coffee an travel to hike in the mountains.
