Fabrics for Jo
To create stability and structure for this design, we suggest stable midweight wovens such as linen, cotton broadcloth, sateen, ikat, and chambray. You may also use lightweight denim and twill provided it has some degree of drape.
Shop the Perfect Match Collection Below:

Additional Supplies:
Lightweight fusible interfacing, 1/4 yd (0.2 m)
Waistband elastic, 1 yd (0.9 m) x 1" (25 mm) wide
Conventional metal or plastic zipper to match fabric, 22" (56 cm) long (smaller sizes may need to shorten the zipper)
Double fold bias tape, 1/2" (13 mm) wide:

If you are making your own bias tape: add an additional 1/2 yd (0.5 m) fabric for 58" (1.5 m) wide fabric, or 3/4 yd (0.7 m) fabric for 45" (1.15 m) wide fabric, in addition to a 1" (25 mm) bias tape maker
