This pattern is perfect for Advanced Beginners sewists, providing a range of options to match your developing skills. It's suited for those familiar with basic sewing techniques and terminology.

For a comfortable and well-fitting outcome, we recommend choosing a lighter fabric (150-220g/qm or 5-7 oz/sq yard) with ribbing. 

In addition, it's important that the fabric possesses a stretch range of 70% to 100% and has excellent recovery characteristics. 

The amount of fabric shown is for the sleeves only and must be calculated in addition to the chosen Tierra Tee view from the original pattern.

For the calculations provided in the fabric requirement table, we have used the standard European fabric width, which is typically 140 cm (55 inches).

Please note that different fabrics can shrink differently after washing, so we recommend adding extra fabric to account for this shrinkage. It's advisable to purchase additional fabric to ensure you have enough for your project.

Include snap buttons for the neck ruffle closure and fusible knit stay tape (optional).

Your package includes a set of easy-to-follow sewing instructions, complemented by detailed illustrations to enhance your sewing experience.
