Troubleshooting
Fabric doesn't seem to be the right type.
Ensure you are using a stable woven fabric as recommended. Avoid very stretchy or flimsy materials which may not hold the intended shape.
Difficulty attaching the collar or cuffs.
Review the pattern diagrams carefully. Ensure pieces are aligned correctly at the notches and seams. Sometimes a seam ripper can help unpick and re-sew for a better fit.
Gathers are uneven or too bulky.
Use two rows of basting stitches slightly longer than the seam line and pull the bobbin threads gently to create even gathers. Distribute them evenly along the seam.
Sleeve doesn't fit into the armhole smoothly.
Check that you have cut the correct sleeve and front/back bodice pieces. Ensure the sleeve cap is eased correctly into the armhole, matching notches.

- Pre-wash Fabric: Always pre-wash and dry your fabric according to its care instructions before cutting to prevent shrinkage later.
- Layout and Cut: Carefully lay out the pattern pieces on your fabric as indicated in the layout diagrams. Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to precisely cut out your pieces.
