  2. I have never worked with a pattern that is not the correct size for cutting, How do i convert this one to use 8 x 11 paper for printing

    1. Make sure that you do not have any scaling selected when you print. Sometimes "fit to page" or similar is automatically selected. This pattern should print just fine on a regular letter sized paper. Good luck.

    1. Tape part b to part a along the line labeled "merge with (a or b)" to form just one piece.

  5. Hi thank you for this easy tutorial. I made a pair of these out of a pair of knit pants that my daughter had outgrown. I did make just a couple changes. I wanted more close fitting pants so scaled the pattern down to 85% and that was perfect. I think if you're using a stretchy knit/jersey that is close fit this would be a tip. I also serge stitched the leg seams as my machine has a serge stitch. Otherwise a super easy pattern for a beginner. I will definitely be saving it for later to do again! Took me about 10 minutes cutting, 30 minutes start to finish sewing.

  7. I am new to sewing. My daughter asked to do this. I must admit that I am confused. There are two pieces for the bottom. Do I connect the two together then cut out the material? Do these two patterns form one half of the bottoms so I do this twice? or have I missed some directions somewhere. Perhaps I am not visual enough for this. Thank you for your help.
