What/how much fabric do you need?
Use knit fabric that is a light to medium weight cotton. It can be interlock, jersey or double knit. Check out this page if you want to learn where I find fabric!
BODY FABRIC- Use knit fabric that is a light to medium weight cotton or spandex blend. While you can use interlock, jersey or double knit we strongly recommend jersey as it is the easiest to work with for this leotard.
SIZE PREEMIE TO 12 MONTHS- 1/2 YARD OF FABRIC (45” OR 60” WIDE)
SIZE 18 MONTHS TO 4 YEARS- 5/8 YARD OF FABRIC (60” WIDE)
SIZE 5 YEARS TO 12 YEARS- 3/4 YARD OF FABRIC (60” WIDE)
LINING FABRIC- Use knit fabric that is a light to medium weight cotton or spandex blend. It can be jersey or active knit lining, commonly used in dance and swimwear.
SIZE PREEMIE TO 12 MONTHS- 1/2 YARD OF FABRIC (45” OR 60” WIDE)
SIZE 18 MONTHS TO 4 YEARS- 5/8 YARD OF FABRIC (45” OR 60” WIDE)
SIZE 5 YEARS TO 12 YEARS- 3/4 YARD OF FABRIC (45” OR 60” WIDE)
KNIT FUSIBLE INTERFACING (Only if doing crotch closure)- It should be fusible (have adhesive dots to adhere to fabric) and knit to allow stretch. Should be lightweight, and not ‘fight’ your body fabric.
ALL SIZES- It needs to be a minimum of 2 1/4” in length x 7” in width. It’s a small piece!
Additional Supplies:
-3 KAM snap sets, sew on snaps, or Velcro depending on preference (if doing crotch closure option)
-Polyester thread
