The type of fabric you use can change up how much ease you need!⁠
⁠
Ease is the extra length and width that pattern drafters add (or subtract!) from pattern pieces so that you can move around (and for style). A fitted knit top, like Caroline's #BFCarrieCrop, can have zero ease or even negative ease - the stretch of the fabric makes up for it. Woven garments, like Helen's #LockhartJumpsuit, have minimum requirements for positive ease.⁠
⁠
Understanding ease is a game-changer for making garments that fit. Listen to this week's episode for lots more info!⁠
