TEMPLATES
For the patterns in this book, you’ll need to add a1/4-inch (6 mm) seam allowance. The quickest way to do this is to simply eyeball it. Trace around the pattern piece on the fabric, or iron it on if the pat-tern has been copied onto freezer paper, then cut the fabric 1/4 inch (6 mm) away from the edge of the pattern piece measuring it by eye. With a little practice, cutting a 1/4inch (6 mm) away becomes easy. If you aren’t comfortable eyeballing it, use a sliding gauge (page 12) set at 1/4 inch (6 mm). Line it up with the edge of the pattern piece and use a disappearing fabric marker or chalk to make a dot 1/4 inch (6 mm) away. Move the gauge over 1/2 inch (1.3 cm), and make another dot. Continue all the way around the pattern piece, making dots 1/4 inch (6 mm) away from the edge of the pattern piece every 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Connect the dots to create a 1/4-inch (6 mm) seam allowance, then cut the fabric along this line.
All templates on the following pages, except the Dinosaur, are set to print to their actual size when printed at “actual size,” or “size to 100%.” Do not set the document, or your printer, to print “to fit.” For the Dinosaur, print at 110% on 11 x 17-inch paper or print at 100% and enlarge at your local copy shop.
