USE
This is a tissue paper pattern for recreating the styles shown on the envelope front. The original pieces are perforated tissue paper and should be handled with care. The instruction sheet has a cutting chart and the sewing instructions. The envelope back has back view of styles, a guide to pattern pieces, material suggestions, a measurement chart, material requirements and sewing notions.
In order to recreate a style you will need to purchase your material, notions and anything you might need for embellishing. To test the fit before using expensive fabric, purchase muslin & recreate the style in a basic version. It is advisable to make a paper copy when resizing or altering the design.
CARE
*For small tears, use archival tape or a glue stick & tissue paper.
*Store the pattern in its protective sleeve or bag to reduce breakage and further discoloring.
