Waralee consists of two identical pieces of fabric.
|
||
|
|
They are basically big rectangles with pieces missing.
|
||
|
|
As such, it is easier to print out the piece you need to cut out and measure the rest,
|
||
|
|
than it is to print out everything and cut the pattern the traditional way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The pattern is available both ways.
|
||
|
|
You can print out the whole thing, tape all the pages together, and use that to cut out the fabric.
|
||
|
|
It is also possible to print out only the part that you need to cut out.
|
||
|
|
This part has a negative seam allowance, since you'll be using it opposite of what you normally use the pattern pieces for.

Pattern piece 2 is just for when you want to make the pants without printing everything.
|
||
|
|
Since this is just a couple of rectangles (with a slanted side), you can just use a ruler to cut out the main part. Then you use Part 2 to cut out the crotch part. Save a tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you opt for the cut-out method, use the paperless view to see all the dimensions of the pattern.
|
||
|
|
You will need to cut a narrow strip out from what will become the front, and a small triangle and strip from what will become the back.
|
||
|
|
And in the middle between these will be the little cut-out pattern piece.
|
||
|
|
Make sure you measure this correctly, and you have the fabric squared before you start cutting.
