The fabric requirements below are for fabrics that are 140-150 cm wide. If you use a different width or a design like stripes or plaid, you might need to adjust the pattern placement. To avoid an unforeseen trip to the store, make sure to buy enough fabric when starting your project. Check your contraction! Important! Before cutting, check the contraction of your chosen fabric. To do this, iron steam the raw material at its maximum heat recommendation. This will ensure that your finished garment will remain true to its sewn size and won't shrink after first washing. The best way to account for any potential shrinkage is to buy 5% more than your project requires.
