*This garment will not use all the fabric purchased. Consider saving your scraps to create accessories
such as masks, headbands and scrunchies. Mask pattern in 6 sizes is also available for purchase from
my shop!
 IMPORTANT SEWING TIPS
1) Seam allowance is included. Recognize that this means the length of some raw edges will not match up.
However, it is important to make sure seam lengths match where you stitch.

2) It is always smart to create a prototype when using a commercial pattern to make any personal adjustments
necessary.

3) Precision with this pattern is key. There are twenty vertical edges in this pattern. Cutting or sewing by any
incorrect measurement could drastically change the outcome of your garment.
