Understanding Style Arc Construction Notes

When you buy a sewing pattern from any brand you will get the pattern pieces as well as some construction notes which provide the instructions on how to sew your garment. The same is true for digital or hardcopy patterns. Every sewing pattern brand is different – some brands offer a huge amount of detail in their construction notes while others are more minimal. The companies with the most extensive instructions and supporting material often release new styles infrequently. Those issuing more frequent new releases typically have more minimal construction notes.  Every sewing pattern brand is different, with its own style!

In the video linked below, we walk you through some typical Style Arc construction notes. It is fair to say that Style Arc’s construction notes are more minimal than many others out there, especially for our older styles. However, please do not be deterred! You can get help in a number of additional ways beyond just the pattern! For our most recent patterns we offer video tutorials and sew-alongs on our ever-growing YouTube channel. These videos are supplemented by tutorials here on our website. There you can also find tips and tricks to help you build your sewing skills. In addition to that, we offer genuinely great customer service – we spend a lot of time helping customers with bits they find especially tricky. You can also try our huge Style Arc community on Facebook, where thousands of sewists share and discuss Style Arc sewing projects everyday. So, if you’re having trouble with your Style Arc sewing project, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to help! You’re not alone!
