How to Lay Out Uneven Plaids

Lay out pattern on single layer of fabric, flipping pattern pieces over to cut right and left halves. Place most dominant color bar at center front and center back or position the pattern so the center front is halfway between two dominant vertical lines. Place pattern pieces in one direction only, using “with nap” layout. Plaid will repeat around the garment instead of forming a mirror image on each side of the center front and center back seams.
