article: Every pattern comes with step-by-step instructions on a separate sheet (user guide), as well as the pattern template sheet (pattern tissue). You should always read the instructions in the user guide before starting the sewing project so that you're aware of what's expected. The advice will include how to cut out the template sheet (pattern tissue), how to construct the garment or item, the best way to select sizing, etc. Check the pattern instructions to find out if the pattern is with or without seam allowances. If it does not include seam allowances, you'll need to cut the fabric with the seam allowances later. It is more normal for seam allowances not to be included. This is a long straight line with arrow heads at one or both ends. This arrow tells you which direction the paper pattern pieces should sit over the grain of the weave (which direction the grain of the fabric needs to go). For stretch fabrics, they might indicate the direction with most stretch. The grain line of the fabric is the same as the direction of the selvage edges (the white edge where the pattern ends). Simply locate the selvage edge to determine the grain line or direction of the fabric. These are the triangular marks on the cutting lines. Use them for matching panels precisely, such as an arm in an armhole. You can get single, double, and triple notches. Pros will make tiny cuts into the seam allowance where these notches are but beginners should cut mirrored triangles beyond the cut line, in order to line up the pattern pieces. Usually a single notch indicates the front of a garment while a double notch indicates the back. This is not universal, however. These little circles can show where darts, zips, pockets, or gatherings are to be added, though they usually indicate where you need to place tacks in order to line up two layers of fabric. Refer to your pattern instructions if you are unsure.  If the pattern does not explain and you see two matching dots on opposite pieces of the pattern, then it is reasonable to assume that these two match up. Zipper lines are almost always indicated with a zig-zag line. Button placement is usually shown with an X, while buttonholes are marked with a bracket line (like the number lines you drew in your math classes), marking the actual size of the buttonhole. These are parallel lines, usually placed very close together, that show where you can increase or reduce the size of the pattern to improve fit. Always read your pattern instructions to understand how to deal with these, as it usually varies between patterns. This line is the thick, solid on the outside of a pattern. You should cut along this line. Sometimes it will not be solid and you will see a large number of lines. These indicate that a number of different sizes can be cut, by following a specific pattern line. Sometimes the size is listed on or near the line, sometimes it is listed in the instructions. Sometimes this broken or dotted line is included to indicate where the sewing occurs. It's often left out because there is a standard understanding that the sewing occurs 5/8" or 15mm inside the cutting line, so if you don't see it, don't panic. If you see a large triangle or diamond shape in your pattern, this is usually to indicate a dart. Darts shape a single piece of fabric to make it fit around a curved form. These lines, usually clearly labeled on indicated with a special line or bracket, indicate where a piece of fabric should be folded, not cut. Be careful not to cut along this line.

assistant: Tulle skirts are feminine on their own, but you can intensify the femininity with your accessories. This can take your look from feminine to ultra-feminine in a heartbeat.  For example, you could try wearing a pearl necklace or a pair of pearl earrings. Other great feminine jewelry options include statement necklaces, bow shaped earrings, and anything pink. If you are trying to downplay the look, then you may want to opt for something very simple or skip the jewelry altogether. The shoes you wear can also change the tone of your outfit. You can dress up a tulle skirt with some high heels, or dress it down with a pair of flats.  To build more contrast into your look, try wearing a pair of sneakers or combat boots with your tulle skirt. If you want to bring out your inner ballerina even more, then wear a pair of ballet flats. However, it is best to avoid anything that laces up your ankles because it may make you look like you are wearing a ballerina costume. Wearing tights with a tulle skirt is a good option in cold weather, but you can also go bare-legged if the weather is warm enough. If you decide to wear tights with your tulle skirt, then choose a color that will complement your skirt. Black tights are usually a good option, but you can try other colors as well. For example, you could pair pale pink tights with a pale pink tulle skirt, or purple tights with a purple skirt. Adding a belt to your tulle skirt look can be a great way to accentuate your waistline. Try wearing a wide belt around your natural waist for a slimming effect. You can try a slim belt as well. Try getting an extra-long one that you can double up around your natural waist.
