USE
This is a tissue paper pattern for recreating the styles shown on the pattern instruction sheet. The original pieces are perforated tissue paper and should be handled with care. The instruction sheet has cutting instructions, size chart, material useage chart & the process of construction with some tips.
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.
