PRINT + ASSEMBLE PATTERN

USING STANDARD 8.5” X 11” ( OR A4) PAPER,  PRINT THE PATTERN PIECES. BE SURE TO SELECT “NO PAGE SCALING” OR “100%” WHEN PRINTING SO THE PATTERN PIECES WILL PRINT TRUE TO SIZE. YOU CAN CHECK YOUR PAGE SCALING ON THE FIRST PATTERN PIECE PAGE WITH THE 1” X 1” BOX.  TAPE THE PATTERN PIECES TOGETHER.

CUT ONE ON THE FOLD FOR THE BABY BLOOMERS FRONT AND ONE ON THE FOLD FOR THE BABY BLOOMERS BACK + SIDE  FROM THE FABRIC USING THE PATTERN PIECE AS A TEMPLATE.  CHOOSE TO USE THE SAME FABRIC FOR  BOTHPIECES ,  OR  A CONTRASTING FABRIC FOR THE  FRONT.

ALONG THE TOP,  FOLD AND PRESS AT 1/4” AND AGAIN AT 3/8”.  THIS WILL CREATE A CASING FOR THE ELASTIC. STITCH AS CLOSELY AS YOU CAN TO THE FOLDED EDGE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TOP LEAVING AN APPROXIMATELY 1” OPENING.
