Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, you'll need to print or trace the pattern pieces. Gather your chosen fabric, along with any necessary notions (buttons, zippers, etc.). Ensure your sewing machine is in good working order and that you have the correct needles and thread for your fabric. Compatibility is with various sewing machines, as the pattern itself is not a physical product that requires any specific device. Care instructions will vary depending on the fabric you choose. Always pre-wash your fabric to prevent shrinkage after the garment is made. After sewing, follow the care instructions provided by your fabric manufacturer.
