Materials 

Fabric

Lola is designed for lightweight non-stretch wovens with good drape. Suitable fabrics include lightweight chambray, voile, challis, double gauze, and lightweight crepe, through to sheers such as chiffon and georgette. For a dressy version, try silk crepe de chine, satin, or lace. 

Notions

Thread.

Fabric requirements

You will need a maximum of 30cm/0.4 yards more than the fabric requirements for the base Lola pattern.
The fabric requirements allow for directional prints. Allow extra fabric if lengthening the garment, or matching large-scale prints. 

Skill level

This addition to Lola uses beginner-friendly techniques. The Lola pattern contains some techniques suitable for intermediate sewers, but confident beginners can sew it too. For an easier sewing experience, pick a more stable fabric.

Available in sizes 28 - 48.
