Materials and Tools
  • Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit It can be any weight; however, best results and fit will be achieved with a medium weight fabric such as jersey, or cotton lycra (CL).
  • Both 4-way stretch (stretches both horizontally and vertically), and 2-way stretch fabrics will work. For 2-way stretch fabrics, take care to place the pattern pieces as indicated for the grainline so that the stretch runs at right angles to the grainline.
  • Your fabric will need to have at least 40% stretch to get the fit as it’s designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along its stretch. If it allows you to stretch it at least 40% longer than its original length, then it has at least 40% stretch. I.e. A 2-inch piece of fabric (unstretched) should be able to be stretched to 2.8 inches.
  • The stretch recovery of your fabric is just as important as the stretch percentage. This will ensure your underwear maintains its shape and fit for as long as possible and not become baggy. To test the stretch recovery (elasticity), simply check that when you stretch your piece of fabric it returns to its original size.
