What’s needed to make a Gym and Dance Shrug:
- ½ yard (0.45 m) of 60″ (150 cm) wide stretch fabric,
- ¼” (6 mm) swimwear elastic. You should use 1 yard (0.90 m) for sizes 2 to 8 and 1¼ yards (1.15 m) for sizes 9 to 14,
- Basic sewing supplies,
- A sewing machine that can do zig-zag.
You should make sure that your stretch fabric has at least a 75% stretch factor in both directions. These fabrics can also be called dance fabric, swimwear fabric, 4-way stretch, or 2-way stretch. A cotton/Lycra blend makes a really nice shrug sewing pattern. The Lycra content will help it keep its stretch after energetic moves and multiple washes.
Swimwear elastic is good quality, firm woven elastic that won’t rot with sweat. It’s important that you don’t use cheap stretchy elastic as they generally give a stretched-out look to the edge of your shrug.
This pattern includes ¼” (6 mm) seam allowances so you don’t need to adjust your pieces.
It’s important to note that the pattern has printable pattern pieces only. The written instructions to make this lovely Gym and Dance Shrug can be found on the designer’s blog which you can find HERE.
