FAQs

What type of fabric is best for the Como Top?

Knit fabrics such as jersey, ponte, or ITY are recommended. The pattern works best with fabrics that have some drape.

Are seam allowances included?

Yes, seam allowances are included in the pattern.

What sizes are available?

The pattern comes in two different size ranges; check the pattern details for specific sizing information.

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare them to the size chart provided with the pattern. Consider your personal fit preferences.

Can I use a serger for this pattern?

Yes, a serger can be used to finish the seams for a more professional look. Make sure to adjust the settings for knit fabrics.

How do I care for the finished garment?

Machine wash in cold water and hang to dry or tumble dry on low. Iron if needed.

What if I'm between sizes?

Choose the larger size and make adjustments as needed, such as taking in the side seams. It's better to have a bit of extra fabric that you can alter.

Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't fit together correctly.

Double-check that you have the correct size chosen and that you're aligning the notches on the pattern pieces accurately. Ensure you're using the correct seam allowance.

Fabric bunches or puckers during sewing.

Use a ballpoint needle for knit fabrics. Adjust your machine's tension settings and use a lower stitch length to prevent the fabric from stretching.

Finished top doesn't fit properly.

Measure yourself and compare to the pattern measurements before cutting. Make adjustments to the pattern or the sewn garment as needed.
