FAQs

What fabric should I use?

Simplicity's website and online sewing communities offer tutorials, tips, and support.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your body and compare the measurements to the size chart on the pattern envelope.

What if I make a mistake?

Carefully remove the stitches with a seam ripper and re-sew the area. Practice and patience are key!

Can I alter the pattern?

Yes, patterns can be altered. Make adjustments to the pattern pieces before cutting your fabric.

How do I store the pattern?

Fabric is fraying.
