Cutting the pattem

Like a poncho, the shirt is madę from a single piece of yardage. The upper part of the shirt is lined.

The pattem is drawn to scalę onto a piece of tracing paper with the aid of the 1:10 pattem found at the back of the booklet. The panem pieces are then cut and transferred onto; the fabric, where they are tacked to the selvages as shown in the diagram

It should be noted that the selyages are of vital importance for the fit of the shirt.    '    ’
