SUPPLIES NEEDED

Recommended fabrics: From light-weight to heavy-weight linen, cotton twill, soft denim, lightweight corduroy or any soft, natural woven fabrics with a good drape. 

-If using heavy-weight fabric such as woolen suiting fabrics it is recommended to use a lightweight material for the pocket lining.

-If using lightweight fabric with a lot of drape, it is recommended that you ditch the hem facing and directly sew a rolled hem (explained on page 17).

-If you are not sure which fabric to use, look up the hashtag #marlomimitoon Instagram for inspiration.

. 5cm wide (2in) belting elastic (knitted or woven elastic is recommended. Avoid braided elastic)
