 LESSON

Lesson 17: Cutting the Fabric for Ladies Trouser

Cutting is the most decisive operation, because once the fabric has been cut,
very little can be done to rectify mistakes. The saying “measure twice, cut once” is
there for a reason. If you cut your fabric incorrectly, it can ruin a project and it can
cost you ton of money.

1. Cut out the fabric using the pattern pieces as a guide.

2. Mark pattern pieces front and back using a marking pencil. For example:
red for the front pattern and blue for the back pattern. On fabric, you can
use the disappearing ink pen, the marks tend to wash out easily.

3. Use scissor to cut the triangles or waistline markings. Cut them out as this
will help match pattern pieces.

gross grain plus ¼inch, and 5 inches longer than the waist measurement.
