Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:
- Enlarge the line drawing on page 1 of the instruction sheet and use colored pencils to design your shirt.
- Choose similar weight fabrics for best results.
- Interfacing piece #8 is not called for in the pattern but is helpful in sewing the placket.
- For fabrics with stretch, use steam with a pressing cloth. Lift iron up and down when pressing. Sliding the iron can distort the fabric.
