Fig. 2.—Directions for drafting circular belt: The measurements required are the waist measure and the 
depth of the belt. Draw aline ofindefinite length (fig. 2a, XY). Onthisline mark point A ata distance 
from X equal to one-third the waist measure. Using X as a center and XA asa radius, draw an indefi- 
nite arc, AZ. On this are mark point B distant from A by one-half the waist measure. From A online 
XY measure the depth of the belt and mark the point C. Using X asa center and with XC as a radius 
draw an indefinite arc, CZ’. Draw a line from X to this are through B and mark the point of intersec- 
tion D. ACDB equals one-halfthe belt. In cutting lay line AC on lengthwise fold of the paper or goods. 
Directions for drafting circular drawers: Fold the pattern for circular belt as shown in figure 26 (AI- 
CD-BH). Theline CD is folded in such a way that B isl4inches below A. Lay on paper 36 inches wide, 
folded down the center. The fold CD should be placed upon a fold of the paper. From C measure the 
length dosired for the side of drawers, that is, down over the hip (CE). With B as a center and 
a radius equal to CE plus 1 inch, cut the edge of the paper at F. On the edge of the cloth measure 
up from F 3 to 4 inches for the leg seam, and mark this point G. Connect A and G and B and Gas
