Fabric Tips


Measuring

Before you cut out the pattern, it is necessary to determine what size to use. Patterns are made to fit specific body measurements, with ease allowing for comfort and style. Some patterns are made smaller than your body measurements. These patterns are designed for very stretchy fabrics such as swimsuit fabric.

Compare your measurements with the measurements on the back of the pattern envelope or the chart. Choose the pattern size with measurements closest to your own. If your measurements are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
