Re: Very new to sewing using a pattern

pant leg. I don't know why I don't get this, but how do I transfer
that to the newsprint, if I don't know where to draw the new lines to
make them A)straight on the outter leg and B) resemble what the crotch
area is suppose to be drawn out like?

Once you've "trued up" the seamline for either the front or the back
of the pants, you can pin the front and back together at the outseam (side
seam), matching the notches and curves along the way between the two
pieces. Then you can cut your trued-up line, simultaneously transferring
the truing to the other piece. Unpin the outseam, and do the same thing
with the inseam.

Also, the lines they give you on patterns ("lengthen or shorten here")
are more or less suggestions rather than commandments <g> You may find
that you're shorter than the pattern in the leg length only. Or you may
be shorter than the pattern in the torso length... so do compare your
own lengths to that of the pattern.

And once you get a pants pattern adjusted to the "these are great"
stage, take the time to copy your adjusted pattern... I use tagboard
and hang my patterns on hooks. Other folks use other methods.
