PREP it or REGRET it! An ESSENTIAL step for a great result!

Before we cut out our pattern pieces, our last step is checking and prepping the fabric.

You need to check that the fabric you have received is the expected length and width, and make sure it has no faults before you wash it. Once washed, you need to again check the length to be sure your cutting layout will still work, and get the fabric pressed and ready to cut.

Getting your fabric prepped before you start cutting is an important part of the process, and will ensure your garments fit after washing!

Thanks for watching folks,as always if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
