Recommended fabric: any heavyweight fabrics with elastic fibers, or knits and knits for front insert (must be very stretchy!)
You will need: fabric; drawcord (refer to your pattern for the length), 2 tips for drawcord ends.
Attention! Fabric consumption varies depending on the size of garment. First of all, print out paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric/ knit you plan to use, to see how much fabric you will need.
When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches- they must coincide.
