SYMBOLS TWO
To make your paper pattern, you will need squared paper marked in 5 cm (2 in) squares. So that you can easily translate the lines on the grid system to your squared paper, mark num- bers across the top and down the left side of the grid system. Mark numbers in exactly the same way on your squared paper. Draw the straight lines of the pattern onto your paper first, adjusting the length of the pieces if necessary. Then draw the curved lines of the pattern pieces. All seam and hem allowances are included within the lines. Mark the balance dots and marks, the grain lines and the edges to be placed to the fold. Some patterns have a dotted line which indicates the cutting line for a variation.
