When cutting your fabric and pattern, here are a few important notes to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Your fabric should be pre-washed the same way you plan to launder your garment.<\/li><li>Read the information on each pattern piece.<\/li><li>Grainlines are indicated on the pattern pieces. Place pattern pieces on the grainline, parallel to the selvage or fold.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If the pattern says \u201cCut 2,\u201d the pieces are mirror images of each other.<\/li><li>If the pattern says \u201cCut on FOLD,\u201d place the pattern edge exactly along the fold of the fabric.<\/li><li>Clip all notches at 1\/4\u201d (0.6 cm) or less.<\/li><li>Transfer all pattern markings to your fabric with a washable marker or chalk.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>VIEW A CUT LISTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View A has ruffled sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-1-View-A-540x360.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"43943\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/cut-pieces-3-view-a\/\" class=\"wp-image-43943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-3-View-A-540x360.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"43941\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/cut-pieces-2-view-a\/\" class=\"wp-image-43941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chalkandnotch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cut-Pieces-2-View-A-540x360.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>MAIN CUT LIST<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#1 FRONT YOKE &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#2 OR #3 FRONT BODICE &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#4 BACK YOKE &#8211; CUT 2 ON FOLD<\/li><li>#5 BACK BODICE &#8211; CUT 1 ON FOLD<\/li><li>#6 FRONT NECKLINE BIAS FACING &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#7 FRONT SKIRT &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#8 BACK SKIRT &#8211; CUT 1 ON FOLD<\/li><li>*#9 POCKET FACING &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#10 WAISTBAND &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#11 WAISTBAND TIES &#8211; CUT 2 (OR USE RIBBON FOR TIES)<\/li><li>#12 FRONT RUFFLE SLEEVE &#8211; CUT 4<\/li><li>#13 BACK RUFFLE SLEEVE &#8211; CUT 4<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>LINING CUT LIST<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#15 UNDER POCKET LINING &#8211; CUT 2<\/li><li>#16 UPPER POCKET LINING &#8211; CUT<\/li><li>*You can use main fabric to cut pocket lining pieces.
