Skill level: Novice

Olo is a relaxed but elegant set that consists of a long sleeve tee and wide leg pants with high, elasticated waist and no side seams. You can sew the straight-cut tee as either a dainty rolled-hem funnel neck, or a deep V-neck with binding. The blouse hem, sleeves and leg openings can all be finished with a rolled hem or a simple turnup. 

Materials & supplies, funnel neck set

• 5 – 7 mm (1/4”) stay tape, 50 cm (20”)
• 4 cm (1 5/8”) elastic, your waist circumference
• Fusible knit interfacing, 15 – 30 cm (6 – 12”)

Materials & supplies V-neck set

• 5 – 7 mm (1/4”) stay tape, 85 cm (34”)
• 4 cm (1 5/8”) binding, 95 cm (38”) (Cut the binding from your fabric as suggested in the cutting plan, or use premade binding)
• 4 cm (1 5/8”) elastic, your waist circumference
• Fusible knit interfacing, 15 – 30 cm (6 – 12”)

Fabric suggestions

Select a light to medium-weight knit fabric with approx. 40 – 50% stretch. A lighter and slightly drapey fabric is recommended for the rolled hem variation, while the V-neck works better with medium-weight, stable knits. Make sure to use an interfacing that also has at least 30% stretch. You will need 30 cm (12”) of the interfacing for light, and 15 cm (6”) for medium-weight fabrics.
