How to sew (quick guide)

Stitches: Lightning stitch or narrow zigzag; overlock to finish
Stabilise: Use clear elastic or knit stay tape at shoulders and necklines
Neckbands: Self-fabric works; ribbing gives a snugger finish (test band length)
Hems: Twin needle or narrow band; avoid stretching while pressing
Transparency note: Lighter colours of pointelle can be slightly sheer. Layer over a vest/slip or choose nude underlayers.

Care & keeping
- Pre-wash (20–40°C) before cutting to minimise shrinkage
- Wash inside-out with similar colours; line dry or low tumble - I tend to do both. I start the prewashed fabric in the tumble dryer for 10-20 minutes then finish on the washing line
- Light steam on reverse to lift the brushed pile after laundering
- Do not Dry Clean
