Suitable fabrics: The Racer Vest is a fitted jersey pattern which means it needs to be paired with a stretchy fabric. You can use a jersey with an elastane blend or a fabric knitted with plenty of stretch. This style works very well with a contrast colour for the armhole and neck binding so you might want to opt for two different colours.
Fabric requirements: the lay-plans are done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
Self Fabric width 150cm | Sizes 32 - 40 = 70cm | Sizes 42 - 48 = 80cm | Sizes 50 - 56 = 85cm
Self Fabric width 110cm | Sizes 32 - 40 = 100cm | Sizes 42 - 48 = 100cm | Sizes 50 - 56 = 120cm
If you plan to use a contrast colour for your neck and armhole bindings you’ll need a 20cm strip of contrast colour jersey.
