Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, identify the size within the W2 range (20W-28W) that matches your body measurements. It is recommended to iron your fabric flat before laying out the pattern pieces to prevent distortion. Always pin the pattern tissue securely to the fabric following the grainline markers. When storing the pattern after use, fold pieces neatly along their original lines to ensure they remain usable for future projects.
