Polly Instructions Sample

FROM THE FOUNDER
OF THE #VIKISEWS BRAND
Back in 2016, when I was working on my first

set of sewing instructions, I was trying to write
them in such a way that even a complete beginner
could easily understand and use them to create
their very first garment. These instructions laid
the foundation for the Vikisews brand, its vision
and its mission. I wanted to create modern patterns
with the utmost detailed and clear instructions.
Now, with each new collection we are constantly

improving our instructions, amending them and
adding more relevant details. By the time the final
product reaches you, our drafters, correctors, and
editors would have spent weeks perfecting every
word and every photograph. If you compile a few
of our instructions together, you will get a sewing
manual that will assist you in sewing all kinds of
garments at any difficulty level.
And I would be very happy if these instructions

helped you to turn your hobby into a lifelong
passion... Enjoy the process! Create your ultimate
dream wardrobe! Wear your garments proudly for
years to come!
If you have any questions, please contact us at

help.
