![]() ![]() The face is the side of the fabric that is intended to be the outside. We do NOT want to make our mark on the "face" of the fabric. The fabric is folded inside out, so the back surface is showing and ready for us to mark on with our fabric marker. On the left side will be the center fold and the right side will be the edges. On a flat, hard surface lay out about 2-3 yards of your fabric. That fold and keeping the long edge of the fabric alined is really important. To make the project easier you may even consider ironing the fold so it is even more creased and easier to see. And remember I told you NOT to unfold it. OK, when you purchased your fabric it was folded in half length-wise with the "back" of the fabric on the outside. The hood can be thought of as a rentangular piece of fabric. if you do not, the Sleeve will not fit onto the Body. If you want to copy my pattern exactly, Pay Attention to Picture #4. ![]() To make it easier for noobs, just make a straight line. Notice my arm hole has a curve at the armpit, that is for a more fitted shape. Picture #3 and #4: If you are new to sewing just make the arm hole a Straight line. Why do I keep saying "paper scissors"? Cutting paper dulls a blade very quickly, because of that I have a pair of scissors dedicated to Fabric and another dedicated to Paper. After everything is drawn on the Large sheet of paper, Cut it out with paper scissors (See Picture #2). So if you wrote "55 inches" on the printout, then you DRAW a 55 inches line on the large sheet of paper. Copy the pattern from the Printout onto the large sheet of paper using ACTUAL Dimensions. Take the Print out in Step #4 (See Picture #1). You want enough paper glued together that you can lay down on it and most of you will not touch the floor. If you are lucky enough to have a large role of butcher paper of craft paper then that is even better. Take you printer paper and glue them together so that you have a very large sheet. In Step #2, I said we need paper scissors, glue and lots of paper. I did not provide measurement procedures for that one since that's not what this instructable is about but someone asked me for an alternative pattern to use. EDIT: SECOND PATTERN pictured (black and white) is for NO Shoulder seam and will require a VERY LARGE piece of fabric. PRINT out the picture and write in all you Measurements. That is the Measure for the FRONT of the Hood. Oh, the straight line connecting the neck hole to the bottom of the pattern is the Center of the body. Using the above measure, the pattern measure from Arm Hole to Center should be 11". Example: I have a Chest of 22" / 2 = 11" 11" - 6" (yellow) = 5" for the neck hole. For RED (the Chest measurement) we need to do a little Math. Notice the color code? Where did RED go? Take your print out and write your measurements on the colored lines. ![]() Now we use the measurements in step 3 to a make a pattern out of paper. ![]()
