Bodi Plaid Cotton Flannel Woven

Cheerful plaid in shades of gray, red and cream in an exceptional quality cotton flannel. Deadstock from a Southern California designer. Mid-weight, yarn dyed with a super soft hand, a cozy brushed finish on both sides, reversible, with a 4½" repeat and a soft malleable drape. Delicious and cozy to wear. Right for a shirt, dress, vest, tunic, men's, children's, workwear, caftan, pj's or robe.

To figure extra yardage to match plaids, multiply the repeat by the number of main pattern pieces. For example, if the repeat is 4" and you have 4 main/large pattern pieces, you would need a minimum of 16 extra inches. To match plaids, cut single thickness, starting with the main pattern piece at center front or back, placing CF/CB centered between (NOT ON), a dominant color or line, then cut one piece at a time, using the cut out piece as a pattern piece for the next, flipping, so you get a left and right side. I draw the plaid on the pattern pieces to match at side seams and notches on sleeves. If the plaid is unbalanced, cut as for a nap. Sew with a walking foot to prevent shifting. Some pieces like pockets, yoke and collar can be cut on the bias.
