FAQs

What kind of fabric should I use?

The pattern is designed for moderate stretch knits. Single-Faced Fleece is recommended.

What does 'wrong side shows' mean?

This means that the reverse side of the fabric will be visible in certain areas of the garment. Choose a fabric that looks good on both sides.

Can I adjust the length of the sleeves or pants?

Yes, you can adjust the length of the sleeves and pants by adding or subtracting from the pattern pieces. Refer to the pattern instructions for guidance.

What if I'm new to sewing?

This pattern is suitable for sewers with some experience. If you're a beginner, take your time, read the instructions carefully, and consider using a practice fabric first.

How do I care for the finished garments?

Follow the fabric care instructions on your chosen fabric. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low.

Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up.

Double-check that you are using the correct size and that the pattern pieces are aligned correctly. Review the cutting layout in the pattern instructions.
