1>measure your body

[Note: I'm 5' 6'' so these measurements are for me ]

a) height from ankle to inside of leg {60cm}

b) from ankle to hip {80cm}

c) ankle to shoulder {135 cm}

d) circumference of hips {99cm}

e) circumference of waist {87cm}

f) circumference of bust/ chest {107cm}

g) length from hips to smallest part on waist {16cm}

h) length from smallest part on waist to armpit {20cm}

i) height from shoulders to armpit {19cm}

j) length from ankle to armpit (probably optional, but it helps you know you measured it all right) {116cm}

k) length of arm/wrist to armpit {48cm}

l) circ hips /4

j) circ neck (see pic 1)

2> draw out your body on fabric [Note: fold fabric in half so cutting it out will be easier i.e both halves of body are simultaneously drawn and cut out sharing an edge so theres less sewing to do]

[Note : to draw out your body you'll need to add 4 cm to every circumference (or more depending on how loose you want) so there's enough room to move and its not tight, as well as subtract 4 cm from the a measurement so its not too tight in the crotch are either)

A)at the edge of the fabric figure out the width of leg take circumference of waist divide it by 4 then add 4 cm so the legs are loose, draw a line to where the leg width would be.

B)then start from bottom of fabric, draw a line for where a-4cm ends (from the width of leg up)

C) from the leg line just drawn draw a 2-4 cm line that will separate the legs

D) draw the other leg using the same dimensions

E) draw line from ankle to waist

F) calculate [ (circ hips/2)-(circ waist/2) ] / 2 for the distance from hips to waist, draw line

G) draw line 1-g

H) draw a curved line from g) to the edge of fabric

I) draw line 1-h , curve it to edge of fabric

J) draw line 1-i on the edge of fabric

K) repeat (g-j) on the other side

L) draw line shoulder to shoulder

M) optional- for turtle neck look calculate: [circ neck/2] +4 cm and 4 cm tall , draw in middle of fabric

(see pic 2 for more clarity)

3> cut it out (pic 3) [ Note when you cut it out leave leave 1-2 cm extra space on the outside of your drawing because fabric will fray, so you will have room to stitch it up, told later]

[Also Note: don't cut the edge that was folded, you'd just be doing more work than needed because then you'll have to sew that edge you just cut]

4> draw wings by a) drawing line 1-i b) drawing line 1-k in the middle of line 1-i c) draw a curve at the top (from wrist to elbow)

[Note : draw this on an folded edge to get two halves that are connecting]

5> cut it out and place ontop of another edge and trace it out, then cut it out (pic 4)
