Recommended Fabrics

Sew Liberated recommends using light-to-medium weight woven fabrics with no stretch for the Chanterelle pattern. The drape and feel of your chosen fabric will have a real impact on the final look, so it's worth considering this carefully.

Softer fabrics will create a gentler drape, while more structured fabrics will accentuate the shape of the leg. Some excellent fabric choices include:

• Chambray
• Viscose-linen slub
• Sand-washed linen or cotton
• Ikat
• Brussels washer linen
• Light twill (like Ventana twill)
• Cotton-linen blend

The recommended fabric weight ranges from approximately 155 – 268 GSM (4.8 oz to 7.9 oz).

Other Materials You'll Need

To complete your Chanterelle Pants or Shorts, you will also require the following:

• Approximately 0.25 m (1/4 yd) of lightweight fusible interfacing, either woven or non-woven. (The average width of interfacing is 0.5 m (20in). Alternatively, you could use 1 m (1 yd) of 2.5cm (1in) wide fusible interfacing tape.
• Elastic, 5cm (2in) wide:
  • Sizes 0–16: 0.9 m (1 yard)
  • Sizes 18-24: 1.4 m (1 1⁄2 yards)
