Fabric suggestions:Light to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 20% stretch.
Easier to sew: More stable knits such as thick t-shirt knits. Interlock or french terry are good examples of stable knits. Cotton blends with 6% or less spandex content are generally easiest to sew.
More challenging to sew: Very stretchy or thin knits that are prone to curling at their edges. They will still make excellent t-shirts but will be more challenging to sew. Bamboo, cotton or hemp jersey blends, tissue-weight knits, ribbed knits, or athletic materials with a large spandex content are good examples of very stretchy or thin knits.
Colour block design idea: Use a contrast knit for the neckband and pocket, or the Variation 1 henley placket pieces. Consider purchasing two coordinating colours of thread for hemming and topstitching.
