Does the pattern include fabric?

Troubleshooting

  • Simplified sewing steps ideal for beginners or those pressed for time
  • Includes essential clothing items for a complete toddler wardrobe
  • Professional-looking results with modern design details like the faux fly and double yoke

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the S3079 pattern, start by carefully ironing your paper templates to remove creases, which ensures accurate cutting. Ensure you have the necessary notions listed in the pattern packet, such as snap tape and appropriate elastic widths, before cutting your fabric. When caring for the finished garments, follow the care instructions specific to the fabric you chose; however, because of the snap tape and elastic components, it is generally recommended to wash these items in cool water and tumble dry on low to preserve the integrity of the hardware. Always perform a test stitch on a scrap piece of your chosen fabric to dial in your machine's tension before beginning construction on the final garment.
