FAQs

What fabrics are recommended for this pattern?

Light to medium-weight fabrics like cotton, cotton blends, linen, and lightweight rayon are recommended. Consider fabric drape when choosing.

How much fabric do I need?

Fabric requirements vary depending on the size and style chosen. Refer to the pattern envelope for specific fabric yardage information.

Can I use a serger for this pattern?

Yes, a serger can be used to finish the edges of the fabric and provide a professional finish, especially for seams prone to fraying.

What is a border print fabric?

A border print fabric has a decorative design along the edges of the fabric, which can be showcased on garments designed for it. This pattern is designed to highlight these unique fabric features.

How do I choose the correct size?

Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't fit together.

Double-check that you have the correct size and that all pattern pieces are included. Ensure accurate cutting along the indicated lines and proper seam allowances.

Fabric frays excessively.

Use a serger or zigzag stitch to finish raw edges. Consider using a fabric stabilizer on lightweight materials.
