Shows you how to... READ A PATTERN

PATTERN CUTTING LINE
Each line relates to a different size for the garment. There can be up to 10 sizes on a pattern sheet, so you can either follow a single cutting line throughout or blend carefully between sizes to achieve a better fit.
LAYOUT DIAGRAMS
These explain how to lay each piece onto the fabric to ensure all of the pieces will fit on the fabric quantity suggested on the envelope. Remember to follow along with the correct view and size. Don’t forget to take care with directional prints – you wouldn’t want a floral-print top with all the flowers upside down.
