## Designer Notes {#notes}
|
|
|
|
This design is inspired by an earlier design (Ursula) which was created by
|
|
my friend Natalia.
|
|
|
|
In the run-up to the v3 release, we discussed the migration of the various
|
|
designs, and it became clear that for reasons (gestures vaguely towards people
|
|
on the internet being rather unappreciative) the original designer was
|
|
reluctant to continue maintaining their design.
|
|
|
|
Since it's a rather nice design not to mention a popular one, we agreed that I
|
|
would reincarnate the pattern. While at it, I also made some changes that
|
|
people had been asking for, such as the bulge option to make it gender-neutral.
|
|
|
|
Long story short:
|
|
|
|
- Everything that is great about this design is thanks to Natalia.
|
|
- Everything that sucks about this design is on me.

## What You Need {#needs}
|
|
|
|
To make Uma, you will need the following:
|
|
|
|
- [Basic sewing supplies](/docs/sewing/basic-sewing-supplies)
|
|
- About 0.7 meters (0.8 yards) of a suitable fabric (see [Fabric
|
|
options](#fabric))
|
|
- About 3 meters (3.3 yards) of underwear elastic, such as picot elastic or
|
|
fold over elastic
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
##### Binding methods may affect the seam allowance
|
|
|
|
If using fold over elastic (FOE) or doing knit binding, you may wish to trim
|
|
away the seam allowance at the legs and waist before cutting. If you keep the
|
|
seam allowance, the finished product will have a slightly higher waist and
|
|
slightly smaller leg openings.
|
|
|
|
##### A serger/overlock is nice, but optional
|
|
|
|
As with all knitwear and stretch fabrics, a serger/overlock will make your life
|
|
easier. If you do not have one of those, don't despair. You don't really need
|
|
it. You can just sew Uma with a zigzag stitch.
|

|
## Fabric Options {#fabric}
|
|
|
|
You need a fabric with plenty of horizontal and vertical stretch (sometimes
|
|
called “four-way stretch”) for this pattern. Preferably something that is
|
|
comfortable, soft, and breathable.
|
|
|
|
Recommended fabrics include stretch jerseys, stretch mesh, stretch knits, or
|
|
most fabrics with at least 5% spandex. For example, modal (rayon) jersey with
|
|
spandex.
|
|
|
|
## Cutting Instructions {#cutting}
|
|
|
|
Uma typically consists of a front, a back, and a lined gusset.
|
|
In that constellation, this is the cut list:
|
|
|
|
- **Main fabric**
|
|
- Part 1: Cut **1 front**
|
|
- Part 2: Cut **1 back**
|
|
- Part 3: Cut **2 gusset**
|
|
|
|
However, if you enable the **Bulge** option, the front and gusset will become 1
|
|
part. In this case, the cutlist looks like this:
|
|
|
|
- **Main fabric**
|
|
- Part 1: Cut **1 front**
|
|
- Part 2: Cut **1 back**
|
|
|
|
:::note Notes
|
|
|
|
- Uma is a great scrap buster. If you have fabric scraps from making a [Teagan
|
|
t-shirt](https://freesewing.org//designs/teagan/) or anything from a jersey
|
|
fabric that has good stretch, this is a good way to use those up.
|
|
- You can use the same fabric for the whole garment, including the gusset
|
|
lining. Some people prefer to use a cotton jersey instead to line the gusset.
|
|
If you want to do that, cut **1 gusset** from your main fabric and **1
|
|
gusset** from your lining fabric.
