Suitable fabrics: This style works best in lightweight woven fabrics that are stable, breathable and easy to handle. The design features narrow channels and fine ties, so it’s important to choose a fabric that isn’t too thick or bulky, allowing the ties to move smoothly and sit neatly once threaded through. Lighter shirting fabrics are ideal here, offering enough structure to hold the shape while remaining soft and workable.
Fabric requirements: the lay-plans are done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
