How To: Pattern Match Fabric for a Garment

Welcome to video 2 of 4 tutorials on pattern matching. In this video I will show you how to cut out your fabric whilst pattern matching a check, stripe, plaid or pattern around a garment you are making. I will be sharing tips and techniques that can be used on any garment, however I will be working with my free Copen pattern.

I will discuss pattern preparation techniques and show you what to consider when patter matching the Front, Back, Sleeve and Facing of the pattern. How to cut out in a single layer and what to do when you need to ‘cut 2’ (cutting the second side) pattern pieces. Watch the Intro To: Pattern (Plaid) Matching to understand the rules you need to follow based on your individual body.
