Fabric recommendations vary depending on the specific piece within the pattern. Consult the pattern envelope and instruction sheet for suggested fabric types. Common choices for these costume styles may include cotton, linen, broadcloth, or blends. Ensure you purchase the correct yardage as specified for your chosen size and view.

5.1 Tinkamumo problemos

If the garment does not fit as expected, common issues include:

• Garment too tight or too loose: Double-check your initial measurements against the pattern's sizing chart. Consider making a muslin (test garment) from inexpensive fabric before cutting your final fabric.
• Issues with specific areas (e.g., back, bust): Patterns are drafted for a standard body shape. Individual body variations, such as a prominent derrière or bust, may require pattern adjustments. Consult a sewing guide for common pattern alteration techniques.

If you encounter difficulties during sewing:

• Seams not matching: Ensure accurate cutting and marking of all pattern pieces. Pin carefully before sewing.
• Fabric puckering or stretching: Adjust your sewing machine's tension, stitch length, or presser foot pressure. Use appropriate needles for your fabric type.
