The Nova pattern is a knit jumpsuit with four views. All views have a fully faced neckline and armholes. Views A and B have a wide elastic waistband and inseam pockets. Views C and D have a straight fit through the waist and attached front pockets. Views A and C are a short romper length while Views B and D are long with an elastic casing at the ankle. Light to medium weight knit fabrics with 20% or more stretch such as cotton interlock, T-shirt jersey, and merino wool jersey. Less stable knits with a lot of stretch like rayon or bamboo should be used with caution as they may affect fit.
Suggested Fabrics:
This pattern works best in light to medium weight knits with at least 20% stretch. I prefer stable knits like cotton interlock or t-shirt jersey. You can also use slinkier knits like rayon or bamboo, just know that these fabrics have a tendency to grow as you sew them so you may need to size down, especially in the height, to accommodate.
