Fabric & Haberdashery Requirements

The Barcelona sewing patterns fabric requirement Charts
*updated April 2026 to include fabric requirements per size

SUITABLE FABRICS

Designed with a stripe in mind, the Barcelona would also work well in a plain or printed cloth. Use a woven light to medium dress weight fabric with a soft stable handle such as denims, chambrays, linen, fine wools, brocade. 

*Soft & drapey cloths may require extra ease at hips to allow for the extra dropping that will occur at the hem & it may be advisable to omit the pockets.
