Sewing Guidelines

Here are some tips we recommend for a successful sewing project:

Fit and style

• Start by choosing a size with your bust. Then, if needed, widen or narrow the pattern at the waist if your waist corresponds to another size. Refer to the body measurements chart.
• On the finished garment measurements chart, you can also check the length of the garment and see if it’s suitable for your height. You may want to compare the length with a similar piece of clothing. This top is cropped at the waist.
• If you want to adapt the length of your garment to your height, check this helpful tutorial here!

Fabrics

• Choose a lightweight fabric with a nice and soft drape. This pattern was not designed for stretch fabrics or knits.

Cutting out

• Preshrink the fabric before you start cutting it out. To do so, wash and dry the same way you would with the finished garment. This means you should also take into account the fabric type and its content.
• Once the fabric is washed and dried, press it to remove all the creases. Be sure that you’ve set your iron to a temperature that is suitable to the fabric. As a rule of thumb, synthetic fibers (acrylic, spandex, polyester…) should be pressed at low heat, and natural fibers (cotton, wool, linen…) should be pressed at high heat.
• When you’re ready to cut into the fabric, fold it lengthwise, right sides together. The fold should not twist and lay flat. If it’s twisting, unfold and fold again, until it lays flat. Then, place the pattern pieces so that the grainline is parallel to the selvages.
• Be sure that you don’t cut the notches too much, they should be about 0.3-0.4 cm long (1/8″).
• If you have a hard time cutting into slippery fabrics, line the fabric with silk paper before you start cutting it.

Sewing

• Be sure to sew your fabric with a Microtex needle to prevent snags in the fabric. A Microtex needle is much more pointy than a regular one.

Good luck with your sewing project!
