FAQs
Where can I find the pattern size chart?
The size chart is usually included on the pattern envelope or within the pattern instructions. It's crucial to measure yourself accurately and compare your measurements to the chart to select the correct size.
What type of fabric is best for the Susan Top?
The Susan Top pattern is versatile and can be made with various fabrics. Consider fabrics like cotton, linen, silk, rayon, or other drapey woven fabrics.
Do I need to add seam allowance?
No, this Style Arc pattern includes seam allowances already. You can start cutting immediately.
What if I need to make adjustments to the pattern?
You can make adjustments to the pattern as needed. Alter the pattern pieces before cutting your fabric to achieve the perfect fit. Always test your alterations with a muslin first.
How do I deal with curved seams?
When sewing curved seams, sew slowly, pivoting the fabric as needed. Clip the seam allowance to help the fabric lay flat, especially on curved edges.
Can I use this pattern to make a top for a beginner?
While the Susan Top pattern is great, it is recommended to have some experience in sewing as it includes multi-sized nested patterns. Beginners may find it helpful to practice with simpler patterns first.
Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces don't match up.
Double-check that you've selected the correct size and that all pattern pieces are from the same size range. Ensure you are matching the notches and markings.
Fabric edges fraying.
Use a serger/overlocker or finish the raw edges with a zigzag stitch or bias tape.
Fit issues after sewing.
Check your seam allowances and adjust as needed. Consider making a muslin (test garment) first to check the fit before using your final fabric.
