Place the labeled
‘fold line’ along the folded edge
of the fabric. Cut out the pattern
piece through both layers of fabric
and open to get a full piece
Fabric folded over
Folded edge
After being cut out Needs to be clipped when cutting
the pieces out. It will be indicated by a small line at the
place that it needs to be marked. Example:
center of a pants waist or center neck of
a front piece. Mostly used when a piece
is cut on the fold. Although, may be used at
other times as well. You will
make a 1/8” (2mm) cut into the fabric at
that point. It will be used to match pieces
later.
Full piece opened after being cut out
For some
pieces, a right and a left side
need to be cut. Example: Hoods,
some pants and some sleeves.
To get the opposite pieces, cut 1
with the pattern facing up like the first photo
and 1 with the pattern facing down like the second photo.
You can also cut once on a piece of fabric that’s been folded
over to get 2 layers.
Grainline is very important because it affects the way your fabric stretches.
If the grainline is vertical, the stretch is horizontal.
In most cases the stretch should be horizontal ‘going around the body’ so the
grainline should be vertical.
If the grainline isn’t easily visible you can see it better when you stretch the fabric .

Cut edge
The selvage edge will usually be kind of stiff
with some holes in it from the manufacturing
process.
The grainline runs parallel to the selvedge edge.
Meaning, the right sides of the fabric will be laying
together. This is the way most seams are sewn so the seam is on the wrong side of the fabric.
Assume that the fabrics will always be right-side-together unless otherwise specified.
Step one:
From the main fabric cut:
-1 front
-1 back
-2 sleeves
-2 hood pieces
From the ribbing fabric cut:
-2 ankle cuffs
-1 waistband

edges and serge together. (right sides of

stretching evenly as you sew.
-This is what it should look like with
both cuffs and waistband attached.
