Frequently Asked Questions
All fabrics with pre-printed patterns have been specially designed to make sewing as easy as possible and therefore do not require much experience. If you are a sewing beginner, we recommend that you choose that pattern from a fabric panel which have less pieces, such as a cushion, for your very first sewing attempt. The second pattern, for example a toy, will then be easier to sew for you.
If you have experience in sewing clothes or accessories, sewing with our fabrics will be a breeze for you. However, finding the right cut for the perfect toy is not easy even for an experienced seamstress, so you’ll appreciate how quickly and easily you can sew a cushion or toy without trying different cpatterns, without tries and mistakes, without redrawing the patterns on the fabric. You don’t have to find and combine different types of fabrics or embroider or sew on details like eyelets or feet. Simply cut and sew.
For each fabric, we include detailed pictorial instructions for sewing all the patterns on the fabric, along with useful information, a list of necessary items and instructions on how to care for the sewn products.
You can also find video tutorials on our YouTube channel, which you can follow to make sure you can sew with ease.
Unfortunately we do not sell sewing accessories in our shop yet. However, the manuals are prepared taking into account the availability of the materials used. We have chosen materials that you can easily find in any store or online store selling sewing accessories, and which are also affordable.
It is not recommended to wash the fabric before sewing. You will work better with unwashed fabric. The fabric may shrink slightly in the washing machine after the first wash and the pieces might not fit together as nicely. In addition, the fabric will soften and wrinkle with washing, making sewing much more difficult. However, if you would still like to wash the fabric, wash it at a low temperature, without bleach, and iron the fabric after washing.
If you use our recommended filling materials, you can wash your products after sewing or whenever they get dirty in the washing machine at 30°C without using products with bleaching agents. We do not recommend hand washing. Do not tumble dry. Each sewing instruction also contains recommendations for the product care.
Finished products are machine washable, at 30°C, without the use of products containing bleaching agents. We do not recommend hand washing. Do not tumble dry. Each product is labelled with a care recommendation.
