Check your tension settings and ensure you are using the correct needle size for your chosen fabric weight.
Break the project down into individual steps and use masking tape to label each cut fabric piece before assembly.
To begin, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting fabric according to the paper pattern pieces. You will need a standard sewing machine, coordinating threads, scissors, and any specific notions (like buttons or fasteners) called for by the specific character variant you choose. Because these are costumes for children, it is recommended to use machine-washable fabrics. Always pre-wash your fabric to prevent shrinkage after the costume is finished. Store the pattern pieces in a cool, dry place to prevent the paper from tearing between uses.
