Sewing and care guidance:
Sew with a fine universal or sharps needle and use small pins or fabric clips to prevent distortion. For machine attachment, a narrow straight stitch or a fine zigzag works best for insertion seams. Hand wash or gentle machine wash on a cool setting, reshape and dry flat, and iron warm on the reverse. Avoid bleach and strong detergents to preserve the natural fibre feel.
