Sewing Basics
01 L A Y O U T Y O U R P A T T E R N P I E C E S : Lay out the

pattern pieces as shown in the cutting layout diagrams.
Start by placing the pieces that go along the fold. Then lay
out the other pieces, making sure the grainline arrow is
parallel to the selvage.
02 C U T Y O U R F A B R I C : If you are using a rotary cutter,

cut out the pattern pieces. If you are using fabric shears,
trace the pattern pieces and then cut them out, cutting
away any pen, pencil, or chalk lines. Remember to cut out
any notches that appear on the edges. These markings
help line up the pieces when you assemble the garment.
03 T R A N S F E R P A T T E R N M A R K I N G S : Use your
marking pen, pencil, or chalk to transfer the markings
(such as circles, buttonholes, and fold lines) to the wrong
side of the fabric. Mark the center front of pieces cut on
the fold, as this will help you to align pieces accurately.
