Cut the
pattern pieces
After taping
the PDF pattern together cut out the size you require. If you want separate
patterns for the Front and Back print the PDF twice and cut out each.
· Back,
cut I on fold
if you only want to print the pattern once, mark and cut out
the Back from the fabric with the pattern folded back along the fold line where the
pattern piece for the Front extends beyond.
· Front,
cut 1 on fold
if re-using the single pattern piece cut off the Front
neckline along the line indicated for your size, mark and cut out from the
patchwork textile folded in half
· Facings
cut out from the remaining scraps of the patchwork textile, 1
Front neck facing on fold, 1 Back neck facing on fold and 2 pair of armhole
facings (mirror pattern by turning over)
