Fabric suggestions:
Main Fabric: Light to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 20% stretch.
- Easier to sew: More stable knits, such as thick T-shirt knits, Interlock or French terry Cotton blends with 6% or less spandex content are generally easiest to sew. For a more traditional Polo, look for Pique knits.
- More challenging to sew: Very stretchy or thin knits that are prone to curling at their edges. They will still make excellent T-shirts, but they will be more challenging to sew. Bamboo, cotton, or hemp jersey blends, tissue-weight knits, ribbed knits, or athletic materials with a large spandex content are good examples of very stretchy or thin knits.
Ribbing: Ribbed knit for long-sleeve cuffs. Self fabric can be used for the collar or, for a traditional polo look, use a 1X1 rib knit.
