Tips to Assemble Fashion Wanderer Sewing Patterns

How To Assemble PDF Sewing Pattern

Download, print, cut and sew, seems pretty straight forward, right? Yes, it is, however there are a few tips that should be highlighted to help you seamlessly execute new clothes from a Fashion Wanderer sewing pattern.

  • Change up the fabrication: If you love the design, then remakes the garment with different fabric selections. Have fun and explore fun fabric choices that you will love!
  • Adjust the ink ratio: This is not a display or a written document that requires visual presentation. Reduce the ink level to draft setting so that you don’t use excess amounts of printing.
  • Pin pattern to fabric: The paper will slide around on the fabric. Secure the paper in place with pins to ensure that the cutlines are smooth, even and consistent throughout the design.
  • Adjust the fit: Lengthen or shorten the pattern based on your own body measurements. Since you can reprint the pattern as many times as you like, it is easy to customize the fit and play around with different sizing.
