Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have measured your body accurately against the Style Arc size chart provided on the envelope. Because this pattern is for knit fabrics, always check the 'stretch percentage' of your chosen material before cutting. We recommend washing and drying your fabric before sewing to account for any initial shrinkage. Store your pattern pieces flat or in the provided envelope to prevent creasing and ensure longevity for future projects. When cleaning the finished garment, follow standard knit fabric care instructions: wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the seams.
