The multi-sized master pattern is printed on durable white paper with colour coded lines for each size. The patterns are printed on both sides of the paper so we could include as many sizes & designs as possible. Trace the patterns using tracing paper or tracing cloth made of transparent pressed fibers. All of the master pattern pieces include 1/4? (6 mm) seam allowances. This is the best seam allowance to use when sewing swim & action wear. You can use a regular sewing machine or a serger/overlock machine. The master pattern includes five sizes from extra small to extra large. Patterns are made to fit specific body measurements. Before you trace the pattern, choose the size by comparing your measurements to the measurement chart. Choose the size closest to your bust, waist & hip measurements. If in-between sizes, choose the larger size. The book gives instruction for making changes on the pattern for the proper fit. This book has easy-to-follow sewing instructions with clear illustrations & time saving techniques for even the beginning sewer.
