HOW TO MEASURE?
BUST- Place one end of the tape
measure at the fullest part of your
bust, wrap it around (under your
armpits, around your shoulder blades,
and back to the front) to get the
measurement.

WAIST- Use the tape to circle your

waist (sort of like a belt would) at your
natural waistline, which is located
above your belly button and below
your rib cage.

HIPS- Start at one hip and wrap the

tape measure around your rear,
around the other hip, and back to
where you started. Make sure the
tape is over the largest part of your
buttocks. Because making sure the
tape is level back there can be hard,
try to do it in front of a mirror.

PRINTING & ASSEMBLING

Print out PDF pattern, lay out each page as shown and tape them together. Make sure
to print out all files at 100% scale. If it’s your first time using our patterns I would highly
recommend printing one page first just to see if you have all the settings right and not
waste any ink or paper.

NOTE: This pattern is ready to cut out and includes 1cm seam allowance in each size.

PRINTING SCALING CUTTING

Ensure you print at actual size Verify that the print out size is Cut out pages along the solid
(100%scale). You must see all correct by measuring the scale outlines. Align and tape them
outlines in the printing preview on any page. ( Scale available together using clear tape. Then
window. in cm and inches) cut out your size.

right side to right side.

Step 3
Sew the fly guard as close to
the edge as possible.

Bag out the fly guard, use
scissors to make the corner
nice and even. Then press
the piece with an iron.

starts 1cm below the top edge of the fly
guard.

Step 6
