Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a clear cutting surface and sharp fabric shears. Before starting, press the pattern paper with a cool, dry iron to remove any creases caused by packaging. Always cross-reference the envelope's requirements for 'notions'—such as interfacing or button sizes—before heading to the fabric store. Once your waistcoat is complete, refer to the care labels of the fabrics you chose to determine the appropriate washing and ironing instructions for the finished garment.
