Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your workspace is flat and well-lit. Begin by identifying and pressing your pattern pieces to remove creases, which can affect measurement accuracy. Because this pattern is designed for B5 sizing (8-16), verify your body measurements against the provided charts before cutting your fabric. For care of the finished garment, adhere to the cleaning instructions required by the specific fabric type you chose during the construction phase. Store your pattern pieces in a cool, dry place inside a protective envelope to prevent edge wear for future reuse.
