Ester & Ebbe top

See the fabric & supplies requirements table among the pictures.

YOU WILL NEED:

- Fabric: Knit fabrics such as jersey (cotton/lycra), see fabric requirement below. Heavier fabric such as college/french terry can also be used but you should size up if the fabric has less than 30% stretch. The pattern is created for fabrics with at least 30% stretch. Use the stretch guide in the pattern to evaluate your fabric.

- (Optional): light-weight, fusible interfacing for the chest pocket, approx. 10x10 cm (4x4”).

- Sewing machine needle: Don’t forget to use the right needle for your fabric, for knit fabrics a stretch needle is usually recommended.

- Other useful materials: Glue marker, coordinating thread, needles/clips, tape measure.

See the size guide among the pictures.

Measure the child and pick a size based on the child’s measurements. Have a look at the measurement for the finished garment and compare with the child’s measurements. I recommend choosing a size that has 3-5 cm (1-2”) larger chest width than the child. Ester & Ebbe has been designed for fabric with at least 30% stretch.
