Please refer to my detailed video tutorial on youtube:

SEAM ALLOWANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE PATTERN
3/8 inch or 1 cm everywhere.

FABRIC
Main Fabric:
Mid to heavy weight fleece backed jersey, terry backed jersey, polar fleece, jacquard jersey (a 245 gsm cotton blend double knit (daisy fabric) is used in the tutorial).
*The heavier your fabric, the bulkier it will be to sew in the zipper - make sure your machine can accommodate the weight/thickness of the fabric.

Inner collar piece, facing, shield, hem tape:
lightweight jersey fabric, the kind that is used in a fitted tee. If it is too thick and bulky it will make the job difficult (a light cotton t-shirt knit is used in the tutorial).
1/2 yard/meter for all sizes.

Interfacing:
Tricot fusing allows for a bit of give, woven fusing will keep the fabric from moving or shifting at all (a poly tricot fusing is used in the tutorial).
1/2 yard/meter for all sizes.

Make a toile before using your good fabric.
