Colette Patterns have less ease than many other patterns to provide a closer, more tailored fit. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size. Assemble the Pattern Print out the pieces that form your pattern. Look for the 4 x 4in (10 x 10cm) test square and measure it to insure that your pattern has printed correctly. Cut out each of the 6 x 10in (15 x 25cm) rectangles that contain your pattern. Tape the pieces together, matching up the numbers/letters as shown in the diagram. Cut out your pattern! Lay Out the Pieces Lay out the pattern pieces as shown in the cutting layout diagram on the next page. Use pattern weights to hold the pattern in place, which will allow you to cut more accurately than pinning the pattern to the fabric. Start by placing the pieces that go along the fold. Lay out the other pieces, making sure the grainline arrow is parallel to the selvedge. To do this, measure from each end of the arrow to the selvedge. The distances should be exactly the same from both points.

Sorbetto Top with Tucks: 2 Trace the Pattern Use your marking pen, pencil or chalk to trace the pattern pieces onto your fabric, and transfer all of the pattern markings onto the wrong side of the fabric, including notches and circles. Mark the centre front of pieces that are cut on the fold. This will help you to align pieces accurately. Cut it Out Cut along the outlines you ve traced, cutting away any pen or pencil lines. Also cut out the notches that appear on the edges. These will help you to line up the pieces. Seam Allowance Seam allowances are included in the pattern, and are a standard 5 8in (1.5cm) for all seams, except the armholes and neckline. These include a 1 4in (6mm) seam allowance, since they are finished with bias tape.
