Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Size Selection: Accurately measure yourself and compare your measurements to the size chart on the pattern envelope. Consider making a muslin (a test garment) to ensure a proper fit before cutting your final fabric.
  3. Cutting: Lay out the pattern pieces on your fabric, following the layout diagrams in the instructions. Pin the pattern pieces securely and cut out the fabric pieces, carefully following the cutting lines.

  6. Care: Follow the fabric care instructions provided on your chosen fabric. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash, and dry according to the fabric's recommendations.
