FAQs

What fabric should I use?

For authentic historic undergarments, consider linen, cotton, or lightweight wool. Refer to the pattern's back for specific fabric recommendations.

What size should I make?

Measure yourself and compare your measurements to the size chart on the pattern. It is usually best to measure and compare.

How do I deal with tricky curves?

Use pins frequently to hold fabric in place, and sew slowly. You can also use a walking foot for better fabric feed.

Where can I find additional help?

Sewing forums, online tutorials, and sewing groups can provide assistance and advice.

Can I alter the pattern?

Yes, but it's recommended to do a muslin test before altering the main fabric. The pattern can be lengthened or shortened.

What if I make a mistake?

Don't worry! Unpick the stitches carefully and try again. Practice makes perfect.

Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up.

Double-check that you have the correct pattern pieces and that they are aligned properly. Check the seam allowances.

Instructions are unclear.

Refer to the illustrations and try to interpret them step-by-step. Consider online tutorials or sewing forums for additional help.

Fabric frays excessively.

Use a serger or zigzag stitch to finish the raw edges of the fabric. You can also use a fray check solution.
