IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before cutting your fabric:
- Print out the paper patterns and lay them out according to your fabric width (ranging from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much fabric you will need.
- Don’t forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces.
- When assembling the garment, pay close attention to the notches—they must align for accurate construction.
Tip: When using knit fabrics, join seams with an elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. For hems, use a twin needle or coverstitch for stretch retention. Sergers can also be used to sew seams directly on 3- or 4-thread settings.
