Take out your Pajama Pants Packages and open them upbe careful
not to lose any pieces! Write your initials and period # on your
pattern pieces! Keep them safe in your totes
Slide 3
1)Choose your size: Before you begin making any cuts of the
pattern, if you are still unsure about your size, you can measure
your hips and side length of your legs to check!
Slide 4
#2) Understanding Pattern Symbols Notches: Pocket placement:
---------------- Grainline Arrow Place on Fold: Shorten or lengthen
here:
Slide 5
#3) Length Adjustments: To shorten, you would fold the pattern
at the adjustment lines however many inches you need to shorten by.
To lengthen, you need to cut on those adjustment lines and add
paper in- between. ***In both cases you need to adjust the pattern
size lines to now match the adjustments!!***
Slide 6
#4) Preparing the Fabric : Match the selvage edges What are the
selvage edges again?! Anytime your pattern tells you to lay yout
piece along the grainlineit wants you to line your pattern piece
parallel to the SELVAGE If you find the edges are all not lining
up, you can pull on the diagonals and stretch the fabric back on
the grainline.
Slide 7
#5) Layout: The fabric should be folded so it is longer than it
is wider (hotdog way). Notice the word fold and selvage, use this
picture as a guide when your setting up your fabric! Just LAY the
pattern out, dont pin until it is on the grainline which I will
demo next
Slide 8
Slide 9
The grainline runs LENGTHWISE on the fabric, PARALLEL to the
selvage You have to measure from the grainline to the edge of the
fabricall the way down the grainline, from top to bottom. It needs
to measure the same distance the whole way! Pin grainline first as
you measure, and then pin the rest of the pattern piece down. If
the pattern is not on the grainlineit can stretch awkwardly when
sewn and the pattern of the fabric will not match nicely!
***Grainline is all about accurate fit/drape to the body and
matching fabric patterns***

#6 and 7) Cutting and Marking: Cut along the size lines you
highlighted on the OUTSIDE of the black lines. Your marking the
black side of the pattern NOT the red. Red=STOP The only marking
needed is for the back pocket, mark this with a tracing wheel and
tracing paper before removing the pattern.
