Can I reuse the pattern?

Troubleshooting

Pattern tissue is torn

Use clear adhesive tape to carefully repair the tear on the back side of the pattern tissue.

Difficulty determining the correct size

Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them against the size chart provided on the pattern envelope rather than using your usual retail size.

Fabric bunches during assembly

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric weight and check that your sewing machine tension is balanced on a scrap piece of the same fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Vogue 1968 pattern, start by selecting your size based on your body measurements rather than store-bought clothing sizes. It is recommended to press the pattern tissue with a cool, dry iron if it arrives creased. When selecting your fabric, consult the back of the envelope for recommended weights and drapes to ensure the finished garment holds its intended shape. For long-term care of the pattern pieces, trace your selected size onto pattern tracing paper, allowing you to preserve the original tissue for future use or size adjustments. Always store your cut pieces in a flat, dry place to prevent degradation of the paper tissue.
