Recommended Fabric and Notions The Collage Gather Top is designed for light to midweight woven fabrics. Your fabric choice will shape the overall look and feel of the top. For a crisp, structured silhouette, choose fabrics like cotton shirting, lightweight twill, or linen blends. For a softer, more relaxed drape, opt for washed linen, lightweight cotton, or other breathable woven fabrics with movement. When sewing patchwork, we recommend using fabrics with similar weights to ensure even gathers and a balanced finish.
