Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure you have measured yourself accurately according to the sizing chart provided on the pattern envelope to select the correct size. Prepare your fabric by pre-washing it to account for any potential shrinkage. When cutting, use sharp fabric shears and clear marking tools to ensure notches and guidelines are visible. Store the paper pattern in a cool, dry place and consider tracing the pattern onto Swedish tracing paper if you intend to reuse it multiple times for different fabric types.
