This pattern can be cut on the outer line or the inner one.
I taped two pens together and traced my original to make the pattern a little bit bigger.

On your pattern, there are 2 pieces that look similar and one has a place for elastic. Are these 2 different backs for booties? This is why I am not sure about the construction. Also when I look at the pieces up above in the bright green fleece, the pattern pieces are very different looking then the pattern that I printed from this site.
ReplyDeleteThere looks to be 2 different back pieces on the pattern i downloaded from this site. One has elastic mark on it and one doesnt. Are they different bootie back pieces? Also the pieces cut above out of the green fleece look very different from the pattern i downloaded.
