FAQs
What fabric should I use?
The pattern instructions will often suggest appropriate fabrics. Consider the drape and weight of the fabric in relation to the design of the garment. For example, lightweight cottons or silks for blouses or dresses.
Where can I find the notions needed for the pattern?
Notions, such as zippers, buttons, and interfacing, can be found at fabric stores or online retailers that sell sewing supplies.
How do I determine my size?
Measure your bust, waist, and hips. Compare these measurements to the size chart included with the pattern to select the appropriate size.
What if I make a mistake?
Don't worry! Sewing mistakes are common. Use a seam ripper to remove stitches and try again. Practice makes perfect.
How do I care for the finished garment?
Follow the care instructions for the fabric you used. This may include washing by hand or machine, and drying flat or on a line.
