The Rauha sewing pattern includes two variations: a high-hip length T-shirt with a boxy fit, and a midi-length T-shirt dress with in-seam side pockets. Both variations have a distinctive rectangular ribbed funnel neck, dropped shoulders, and a relaxed fit.

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES

• Ribbing, 35 cm (3/8 yd)

• Dress: Pocket bag fabric, 30 cm (3/8 yd)

• Dress: Fusible knit interfacing, 20 cm (3/8 yd)

• Stay tape, 50 cm (20”)

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Pick a medium weight to heavy knit fabric with 30 - 50% stretch. For the collar choose a rigid but not too stiff rib knit that has a good recovery and 40 - 50% stretch. Make sure your main fabric and ribbing are approximately the same weight. You can use your dress fabric for the pocket bags or, if your fabric is heavy, pick a separate lighter but durable knit for the pocket.
