Care & Sewing Tips
Pre-wash before cutting to account for minor cotton shrinkage. Use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and standard polyester thread. Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. The polyester content helps the fabric resist heavy wrinkling, requiring only a light touch-up with a medium-heat iron.
