Making paper patterns

On a photocopier, enlarge the patterns by 160%. Trace the patterns on to tracing paper, placing the bootee upper, bib and tie on folded tracing paper, matching broken lines to the fold. Mark the arrows, notches, dots, dotted lines and Velcro position. Cut out the patterns and open out flat.
