Tip: Woven to Knit

If you have a great woven pattern that you want to make work for knits, stitch the side seams 1/2* deeper. Machine baste them at 1 1/8* instead of 5/8*. If you're making a pair of pants, try placing the waistband 1/2* lower. Often the zipper can be eliminated from knit pants if the fabric has enough stretch to fit over the hips.
