Instructions for the pattern “Cargo Barrelleg KEJA”<\/span><\/h1>\n

Why the instructions are only available online<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We have deliberately decided to make our instructions available online only. This saves a lot of paper, because not everyone wants to use printed instructions. You can also zoom in if you can’t see something straight away or the font is too small. Of course, you can also print out the individual instructions if you wish. To do this, use the corresponding print options in your internet browser. In many browsers, it is also possible to save the respective page so that it is available offline. This means you don’t always need an internet connection while you’re sewing and you can still save yourself the trouble of printing out on paper.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Sizes and measurements<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Size selection<\/h3>\n

Choose your size based on your hip measurement. We recommend an extra width, i.e. a difference between body and finished measurements, of 8-10 cm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Body and finished measurements table<\/h3>\n

You will find a body measurement table here that you can compare with your own measurements. All measurements are given in cm. If you want to convert to inches, divide the value by 2.54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

It is possible to attach Velcro, buttons and buttonholes or press studs to close the flaps. Press interfacing onto the areas of the waistband, hem and pockets\/pocket flaps where you want to add Velcro, buttons, buttonholes, eyelets or press studs. All pockets can be finished with decorative topstitching. You can use a matching thread or choose a contrasting color, depending on how eye-catching you want the seams to be.<\/p>\n
