It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern is ‘PAPERLESS’ meaning that no printing of large pattern pieces is required. Instead of using full scale paper patterns, you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and small templates. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe ZW coat is an unlined unisex oversized coat with a batwing sleeve, round collar and patch pockets.
