Hi, has anyone made the Drew sweatshirt using the main fabric instead of ribbing for the neckband, hem and and cuffs?
I have some French terry fabric which is quite stretchy (but not as stretchy as ribbing) and I just wondered if anyone had made it using self fabric, and if so, how you worked out how much extra to add to the pattern piece to account for the smaller amount of stretch?
Thank you!

Hi,
I've made it in a stretch velour and used the self fabric for everything. I didn't actually change any of the measurements, however on reflection I should have made the hem band pieces a bit bigger. The neckband and cuffs are absolutely fine as they are.
Not sure if that helps at all!
