Video Transcript

"Half of the unitard is going to be the dimension of my upper thigh, which as I mentioned before, is twenty-four inches. So I want to fold this at twenty-four inches. Now I can save fabric and cut this at twenty-four inches and then cut the arms, or I could fold it an extra eighteen inches and cut the sleeves out of the same piece. I'm going to save some fabric here and cut this one, first the unitard at twenty-four inches, and then I'm going to cut the sleeves in the second cut. So there's a fold of about twenty-four inches. I want to make it exact so I can really save my fabric and keep my cost down. So I pull it back exactly at twenty-four inches. Let's give it a little tug. There we go. And now I'm ready to cut."
