Thanks for visiting On the Cutting Floor today!
I am glad to present a new free pattern made using Patternmaker USA.
I was very pleased with the results of the software. It, not only, has given a more professional look to the patterns, but it also speeds up the process by about 4 times!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
I used a medium weight, cotton sateen. Since this pattern has 3” ease at the bust area, it will be easier to use other woven fabrics as well.
Light and medium weight woven will work wonderfully.
PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
The pattern comes in letter, Copy Shop (A0) and A4 format.The pages do not overlap.
Please notice that there might be small differences from printer to printer.
Remember to check the ”actual size” printing option:
This patterns comes with specific marks to put the pieces together:
The circle with a cross is the symbol to help you to put the pages together. Each page has a quarter of the circle on each corner. When the pages are aligned correctly, it will form the circle with the cross.
The pages also has a note on the left bottom, identifying the name of the pattern, the column and the row the page is form. Just as a reminder, the rows are horizontal and the columns are vertical.
The tabs and notches symbols are explained on the first page of the pattern document. The second page contains a 4”X4” square test to check that the printer is working properly.
Here you will re-direct to my shop to download the pattern for free. The tutorial is added to the end of this post. Enjoy!
