Equipment Essential:
- Sharp fabric scissors
- Ball point/jersey needle
- Long sharp thin pins

- A bodkin or large safety pin
Fabric recommendation:
We recommend a stable stretch fabric with approx. 20 – 50% two-way stretch for this pattern. Suitable fabrics include: Sweatshirt, fleece, velour and French terry. An elastane mix fabric will prevent your joggers from going baggy during wear and if you are using a fabric with elastane in the mix, you can size down for a more streamlined look.
Notions:
- Matching thread
- Stretch interfacing (approx. 25cm × 10cm)
- 1 – 1.5m of drawstring, herringbone tape or ribbon
- 38mm / 1.5 inch wide elastic
