Square cushion measures 65 cm by 65cm and 10 cm thick. I got help of the measurements from 1:20 scale to 3.25 by 3.25 by .5cm I drew out and labeled them. I need help with the next step.
The square cushion is made of 3 component parts a top bottom and sides. Draw the cushions component parts to scale and label them with their measurements. Each edge piece of fabric will need a seam allowance of 1.5cm added before the components are drawn.
What measurements do I use when drawing and how do I figure this out? Thank you in advance if you can help me!
To draw the components of the square cushion to scale and label them with their measurements, you need to consider the seam allowance of 1.5cm added to each edge piece of fabric.
Here's how you can figure out the measurements:
1. Start with the original measurements of the cushion: 65cm by 65cm by 10cm.
2. Take into account the seam allowance by adding 1.5cm to each side of the top and bottom pieces, and to the length and width of the side pieces.
- For the top and bottom pieces: Add 1.5cm to each measurement. This means the top and bottom pieces will be 67cm by 67cm.
- For the side pieces: Add 1.5cm to the length and width measurements. This means the side pieces will be 3.25cm by 3.25cm.
3. Draw a rectangle for the top and bottom pieces measuring 67cm by 67cm. Label them accordingly.
4. Draw four rectangles for the side pieces measuring 3.25cm by 3.25cm. Label them accordingly.
Make sure to draw accurately to scale, using a ruler or a scale ruler, to ensure the dimensions are correct.
