    I’m so new to sewing and reading patterns. How am I to know how to cut my fabric out? I realize I need some pieces folded and some just cut out I am lost in understanding which to do.

    • @MassonLifestyle
      @MassonLifestyle 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Biggest thing to pay attention to is pay attention to the grainline. It is that long line with two arrows at the end. They need to be parallel to the selvedge edge. So if you look at your fabric you got two edges, the one the store cut and then the other end which is your grainline. Most patterns will need a left and a right side hence why we tend to fold the fabric so if you need a pair of one piece you cut a left and a right side. Then for pieces that need to be cut on the fold look at the pattern piece. It’s usually on a long straight edge, the grainline will be there but the little arrows will be pointing towards the straight edge of the pattern piece and it will say “cut on fold”. Most patterns also have a cutting layout. That will show you where to put the pieces to maximize your fabric amount. They will also show you usually a few different layouts… keep in mind width of your fabric (45” or 57”/60”) and you may need different fabric length depending on size you need. So think size 6 will need less fabric than size 20. Lastly you have to interface some pieces usually plackets and facings that give things structure. Let me know if you have other questions, I know it feels overwhelming now but just take some time to read the pattern instructions and I assure you with some practice you won’t even need to look at the cutting layouts. You got this!!!! 🙌

    I have completely stopped buying patterns from the Big Five. My husband got me a subscription to Burda in English that comes to my mailbox every month. Not only do I get a whole load of patterns each month, but the magazine is inspiring with interesting ideas for styling your pieces and fabric suggestions and usually spotlights a designer either working in fashion or in textile. I really enjoy it and they do a great job of having seasonal designs in each magazine.

I'm always surprised why these designers are not releasing patterns with different cup sizes. I get it, it's more work but not everyone is the same bust size, or at least tell me where the bust point is at so I can take it from there. Question for you because I haven't been able to find it, do you know of a short sleeve t-shirt pattern without a dart for a D cup.
