IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Before cutting your fabric:

Print out the paper patterns and lay them on your fabric width (90–150 cm) to determine required yardage.
Don’t forget mirrored and paired pieces.
Match grainlines, notches, and pleats precisely.
Shorten lining 2 cm above trouser hem to prevent peeking.
