There is one specifically about facings and there's another mentioning some of our favorite sewing reference books. Facings on Lutterloh patterns are marked with a series of hatch lines usually found around necklines and waist bands and such.

The chard above shows us all the markings and what they tell us to do. Yes cutting lines are darker. If you choose to cut the facing you need to add seam allowance to all edges the top and placket. Some people prefer the crispness of a cut and sewn on placket. The top above shows a facing so either way you fo it you face it.

In the example above, there is a bolder line drawing the placket. Is this a symbol for this being a separate piece? Am I supposed to cut 4 of them - 2 used as facings, or do I do a typical facing? How can I tell from the pattern markings?

It looks like the zipper is inferred. Now some have belt loops and some do not. My husband would go crazy without his belt. The size you need is 4cm x 3cm. really they need to fit the belt, and lighter fabric with trousers seemed to have them 8cm X 2cm<br />putting in a mens pant zipper http://grainlinestudio.com/2012/09/19/sewing-tutorial-inserting-a-fly-front-zipper/ check this web site out and add pieces to make a proper zipper cover etc. Fonnell/Grammie/momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428737043026677865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204432097294908162.post-92021054052338673712016-06-18T12:00:40.532-07:002016-06-18T12:00:40.532-07:00Dawn,

If you want belt loops make them and put them on with the facing, if you are doing a mens pant zippers are more tricky. Many shorts today put a string through the waist and allow people to tighten with the string.

Many times just making each edge a little larger with your seam allowances can take a pattern a bit larger. <br />Check out my posting on the right sidebar #7 it has hints for slanting shoulders. I do hope you will feel like sewing soon.

What I do is I add 6.5cm or approx. 2" to all of the numbers surrounding the pattern in order to make the pattern. I have found that after I do this, mark the new patterns and cut them out, that I often have minor adjustments to make after that. This probably will not work for other people, but this method works for me as I am a plus-sized woman who has very narrow, downward sloping shoulders, a short waist and other figure problems or adjustments to make. I am very inspired to make more patterns and one of these days I might actually sew them out! Too many health problems right now.
