There I am with my first try, assembling. I am puzzled because I double checked my measurement, and the scale on the box+the ruler on the pages. Everything else seems too small ! My full length crotch seam (or cross seam) is 75 cm. On the paper it is 56. Like it was going to sit on hips, not on natural waist. The opening for pocket is 9 cm, not much even for my tiny hands…The sum of the side waist (back and front) is 75 where my waist is 90, so I have a 15 cm gap where it is supposed to close up. And the inner length of leg is around 60 cm where the imseam is 70 cm. Certainly I have made a mistake but I dont see where it can be ! Thank you again for your here. Waralee is going to be easy to fix, but I would like to understand fully before starting with a more complex pattern like a shell for pants.
It sounds like you could have gotten one of your measurements wrong. Check your waist to hip, waist to floor, and any other vertical measurements like that.
And before you print it, switch the pattern editor to ‘paperless view’ so you can see the physical measurements of the pattern to see if they look right for what you expect.
Also make sure your paper size for export is correct. And you’re setting the scale of printing to 100%, and not fit to page or something like that.
I think my measurement are OK, I see no problem on the listing on my pdf. Thank you for your imput !
I used A4 with a margin (the printer have non-printable areas) and the reference box and rulers on the pages are fine.
It’s not on the PDF, but on the pattern editor before you generate the pdf. You toggle a core setting and it generates the pattern with a grid and all the measurements so you can draft it by hand without printing it. It’s good for checking everything is as you expect it to be before printing.
Thank you ! I will try to check this before commiting a printable pdf.
You’re welcome. It’s a feature I’m not sure everyone knows about, but is incredibly helpful. A few people over on the discord call it a sanity check before they print. It’s easy to get caught out by something unusual.
You were very helpfull !
