Firstly, get your material needed ready. You will need your:

  • Fabric

  • Measurement
    measurement to be taken are;

    full-length
    burst
    waist
    hip
    back/shoulder
    sleeve

  • Chalk
  • Scissors
  • Machine to sew

The measurement used are;

Full-length = 57inches
Burst = 36inches
Waist = 27inches
Hip = 38inches
Back = 14
Sleeve = 8inches

Secondly, after you have taken all the measurement needed the next thing to do is to cut the fabric.

To cut the front side

STEP 1

Lay your material on the table and fold it into two using your shoulder and sleeve measurement to determine how wide you will fold it. i.e. shoulder is 14inches divided by 2 it will give us 7inches add to the 8inches sleeve, that is 15 inches altogether. So the wideness of the folding will be 15inches.

STEP 2

After the folding, locate your burst on 10inches from the shoulder, your waist on 16inches from the shoulder, your hip on 25inches from the shoulder and your full length on the 57 inches from the shoulder

STEP 3

Measure the width of the burst by dividing your burst measurement by 4 since you are cutting the front first. i.e. 36inches divided by 4 it will give you 9inches. So your burst will be 9inches plus 2inches for the allowance. Your waist will be 27inches divided by 4 which is 6.75inches plus 2inches allowance. Your hip is 38inches divided by 4 which is 9.5inches add another 2inches for the allowance.
The full length is 57inches plus 2inches for the sewing allowance.

STEP 4

Locate the shoulder by dividing 14inches into two which is 7inches plus the 8inches for the sleeve which gives us 15inches for the shoulder.

STEP 5

After making out all the necessary measurement on the fabric, shape it out well and cut it out appropriately.

To cut the back side

Fold the cloth into two as folded for the front side, and then place the front side on it after which you can now cut it out gently. In this case, there is no need for extra 2inches allowance because zip is no needed.

After cutting out both the front and back sides place it well equally on each other and make your canoe neck, 4inches to the side and 3.5inches downward. Mark it, shape it well and then cut it out.

Cutting of the folded sleeve

Fold the material into two into about 18inches long and 4inches wide and then cut it out. After which you will now divide into two equal parts.

To cut the pocket

Fold the material to be 7inches wide and 12inches long and cut it out. Refold the material and place the first one on it to cut out the second pocket.

After going through all this process, the next thing is to get your sewing machine ready and put the pieces cloth together making it one.
