Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have your chosen fabric, matching thread, and necessary notions like buttons or interfacing as specified in the instruction guide. Carefully cut out the pattern pieces corresponding to your size (8-16) from the pattern sheet. For care of the final garment, always follow the fabric manufacturer's instructions for washing and drying. Since this pattern creates fitted garments, it is highly recommended to pre-wash and dry your fabric before sewing to account for any potential shrinkage, which ensures your finished shirt maintains its intended proportions over time.
