Burda Style For people who sew

CUTTING OUT FOLD (– – – –) means: Cut on the fold, the fold being the center of the pattern piece, but never a cut edge or seam. The piece should be cut double, with the fold line forming the center line. Pattern pieces are outlined with a broken line in the cutting diagrams are placed face down on the fabric. The cutting diagrams on the pattern sheet show how the pattern pieces should be placed on the fabric.

The cutting diagrams show the placement of the pattern on the fabric. VELVET has a direction of grain. Before placing the pattern on the fabric, make out the DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN. Velvet needs to be cut against the grain direction. That means the pattern pieces will be placed so that you can run your hand with the grain of the fabric from the top to the bottom without resistance. For a single layer of fabric, the pattern pieces are pinned to the right side. For double layers of fabric, the right sides are facing and the pattern pieces are pinned to the wrong side. The pattern pieces that are shown extending over the fold of the fabric in the cutting diagram should be cut last from a single layer of fabric. Important: Position the collar pieces on a single layer of fabric, on the fabric’s right side, and with the labeled side of the pattern facing up.
