Here’s what you’ll need:

• Knot Your Average Shirt and Dress Pattern(on sale from January 29 -February 9 with code: KNOT at checkout)
• Fabric: This pattern requires knits with at least 25% stretch.  I prefer something with a Lycra blend, especially if I’m make the breastfeeding option, but other options include jersey or interlock.  Lycra blends such as rayon, polyester, cotton and modal with work beautifully.  I do not recommend directional printers.  There is a section under the knot on the upper bodice that will be upside down.  If it is a small print, it won’t be noticeable.
