Fabric suggestions
Suitable fabrics are solid, woven fabrics with a light to medium weight. For example, linen, cotton poplin, khadi or seersucker. Use a stiffer fabric with a lot of volume to emphasize an oversized shape, or a fabric with more drape for a more relaxed style. Helios is also well suited for patchwork and for recycled fabrics.
For View B you can use denim, corduroy or wool, for example. You can also make a quilted version with a pre-quilted fabric or quilt it yourself.
Linen is very suitable for View C for a laid-back dress option. If you want something more fancy, you can go for a silk organza!
Amount of fabric depends on which view you choose and whether you adapt the pattern to your own size. You may also need more fabric if you use a fabric with a directional pattern.
Fabric requirements
For a standard size Helios you will need the following quantities:
View A 134 x 137 cm
View B 147 x 134 cm
View C 150 x 205 cm
To make a lined View B you will need the same amount of lining fabric. For a lined or quilted View B you will also need a separate bias tape to use as a edging on the raw edges of the jacket, you will need about 5 m.
