knit tips:-Wash and dry your fabric before you cut. Knit tends to shrink A LOT and you don’t want your shirt to be too small!

-Sew slowly. Take your time and you’re sure to have success.

-Iron! Steam is your friend with knits. Give those seams a steam and they’ll be perfect! For best results press EVERY seam.
