## What You Need {#needs}
|
|
|
|
To make Bee, you will need the following:
|
|
|
|
- Basic sewing supplies
|
|
- About 0.5 - 1 metre (0.6 - 1.1 yards) of a suitable fabric ([see Bee Fabric options](/docs/designs/bee#fabric))
|
|
- (Optional) About 0.5 - 1 metre (0.6 - 1.1 yards) of lining fabric ([see Bee Fabric options](/docs/designs/bee#fabric))
|
|
- (Optional) Ribbons/Tapes/Cords for neck ties and bands, with the same length and width as neck tie and/or band.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
The lining fabric is only needed if you want to make this pattern reversible. If you don't, you only need the main fabric.
|
|
You can use a serger/overlocker to construct this pattern but it is not mandatory.
|
|
Ribbons/Tapes/Cords can be used instead of making custom ties. Just make sure to get more than you need and that you cut down to size after construction.

### Main and Lining Fabric
|
|
|
|
The main and lining fabric are the same type of material. Bee is made with swimwear fabrics such as lycras.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
You only need lining fabric if you intend to make the pattern reversible or if you want the band for the cross back tie variant to be a contrasting fabric. Otherwise you can cut all the required pieces from your main fabric.
|

|
|
|
|
## Cutting Instructions {#cutting}
|
|
|
|
**Main fabric**
|
|
|
|
- Cut **4 cup** parts.
|
|
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
|
- Cut **1 band tie** part on fold.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
This pattern is easily made reversible by buying a similar fabric to the main fabric and using it as contrast.
|
|
|
|
**Main fabric**
|
|
|
|
- Cut **2 cup** parts.
|
|
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
|
- Cut **1 band tie** part on fold.
|
|
|
|
**Constrast Fabric**
|
|
|
|
- Cut **2 cup** parts.
|
|
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
|
- Cut **1 band tie** part on fold.
|
|
|
|
However if you are using the Cross Back Tie variation the band is designed to **only** be cut from the main fabric.
|
|
|
|
When following the instructions use your contrasting pieces as the lining peices.
