USE
This is a tissue paper pattern for recreating the styles shown on the pattern sheet. The original pieces are printed tissue paper and should be handled with care. The envelope is a general mailing envelope with original owners address. The information sheet has a pattern description of the styles, front view sketches of the style, material useage charts, stamping instructions, embroidery stitches, construction information, notions needed and material suggestions.
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.
