Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have your sewing machine, matching thread, fabric, and basic notions like zippers or buttons as indicated in the envelope. Before cutting your fabric, it is essential to 'press' the pattern pieces with a cool, dry iron to remove any creases from packaging. Always measure yourself against the sizing chart provided on the pattern back rather than relying on store-bought clothing sizes. Store your pattern pieces in a cool, dry place inside the provided envelope to keep them from tearing or wrinkling between projects.
