    Introduction

    In the books published previously in this series, you learn how to do the drafting of patterns, as well as some model training patterns. However, there is one important point which you will want to know all about how you can get the right amount of cloth to fit your particular measurements.

    Apart from setting out your cut cloth in the layout, this book is going to tell you all about the required length of cloth, which means that you are keeping well within your budget. The remaining piece of cloth which you may have bought without estimating it properly, could go to waste. You may also find yourself buying less cloth beforehand, and once the measurement has been done, back you go back to the shop, trying desperately hard to match the color, fabric, and print. But alas, and alas, that print was so popular that everyone in the city and their sisters, cousins, and aunts have bought that fabric.

    So what do you do? Either skimp on the fabric and instead of a maxi skirt you have a miniskirt. You have a sleeveless blouse or a skimpy blouse instead of a long sleeved tunic.
