Sewing patterns always look intimidating...until you take the time to read them. :) First step is to read the back of the envelope itself...that's where you'll find all the materials listed and how much you'll need. Then, take the time to read the instructions on the first page...which tell you what pieces go print side up, print side down...etc. if you have a whole lot of trouble...ask one of us that is in that catagory of seamstress turning quilter LOL. We'll be glad to help as much as we can. Tissue patterns really are a LOT easier than they look when you take them out of the package, I promise.
