Re: How to cut out a Pattern

Dear turner58,

When you are using a ready made pattern you need to find out what your size is, by comparing your own measurements with what is written on the package. This way you will know which size you should use to cut the right size out.

If all your measurements are not a size 12, for example your hip measurement is size 14, you can draw a line from the waist area on size 12 and merge the line gradually with the size 14 in the hip area.

If your measurements are between two sizes, you can draw a new line between the two size lines to get the right measurement for your pattern.

Make sure to always use a different color so that your lines stand out.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
