Step 1

Now that you have created your pattern, we need to transfer it onto fabric.

The first step is for you to select your fabric. You can pick any fabric you wish from the workshop. Avoid any material with too much stretch. You can select different fabric for different pattern pieces if you wish. 

Using pins or pattern weights, secure the three paper pattern pieces onto the wrong side of your fabric. 

Trace around each pattern piece using fabric chalk or a chalk pencil. 

Make sure you leave at least 20mm between two adjacent pattern pieces.

Mark each pattern piece A, B or C as appropriate using the chalk.

Step 2

At the moment, our pattern pieces don’t include a seam allowance. The seam allowance is the extra fabric, which we include to allow for the seams when we sew everything together. 

Using a ruler draw lines 10mm from the edges of your patterns. This is your seam allowance.

Step 3

Carefully cut out each pattern piece.
