Instructions
Please read all instructions carefully before beginning. All seam allowances are 1/4", unless otherwise noted (as on neck binding).

If necessary, straighten fabric. When a thread is pulled from selvage to selvage and the fabric is cut on that line, the raw edges should meet evenly when fabric is folded down the center. The same should hold true if the fabric is torn. If not, stretch fabric on the diagonal from one short corner to the other, until the fabric is in alignment. It may be impossible to completely correct this off-grain distortion by pulling. Prewashing often puts it back ìon grain."

Note: For best results, cut one piece at a time; mark center and armhole curve before cutting out another piece.
