A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING
the waistline in front from G to last point. Mark point R three inches in from C.
Locate center between lines AD and BC. Then draw line EF one-half inch nearer line AD which is the top. Draw lines JKI and LMN one and one-half inches either side of line EF. Mark points J and L one and one-half inches from line AB. One inch beyond mark the points K and M. Curve the line from K and M to the center line. Draw lines from G to I and from R to N. Mark points H and P two inches above points I and N and curve the sides of the drawers from these points to the lines IK and NM.
The curves on the front and back of the drawers ought to exactly match, so draw the curve on the front first and then put a piece of paper under the diagram and trace this portion of the pattern. Cut out the traced piece and use it as a guide in marking the curved edge on the back.
Measure down on the line RP one inch and curve the waistline in the back as indicated.
In tracing off the pattern allow seams at the top sides and lower edges. The center-front and center-back edges are placed on the fold of the goods.
