Description

The Nova pattern is a versatile knit jumpsuit with four distinct views. All views feature a fully faced neckline and armholes for a polished finish. Views A and B showcase a wide elastic waistband and convenient inseam pockets, while Views C and D offer a straight cut through the waist and attached front pockets.

Views A and C are short rompers, whereas Views B and D are full-length jumpsuits with an elastic casing at the ankle for a snug fit. The pattern is best suited for light to medium weight knit fabrics that offer at least 20% stretch, such as cotton interlock, T-shirt jersey, and merino wool jersey. However, caution should be exercised when using less stable knits with high stretch, like rayon or bamboo, as they may impact the fit of the garment. Overall, the Nova pattern is a comfortable and stylish choice for any knit fabric lover.

Suggested Fabrics

Light to medium weight knit fabrics with 20% or more stretch such as cotton interlock and T-shirt jersey. Less stable knits with a lot of stretch like rayon or bamboo should be used with caution as they may affect fit.
