First Trace a copy of the front piece of your pattern on paper.
1.When cutting your pattern cut 2 of the front. Put the 2nd piece aside. Lay
your pleated insert on your front and mark the position you want it in. I
usually measure about 3" from the shoulder seam to 1" from the top of the
border design on the insert. Then about 2 1/2" from the bottom of the
armhole to the 1" below the bottom of the border design.
