Some Points to consider:
Ø Fabric Required 1 Mtrs’ length & width of 44".
Ø When you are marking the pattern directly on fabric, first straighten the fabric by slightly stretching it diagonally to align the warp & weft.
Ø Iron the fabric to remove crease prior to marking and place the draft.
Ø if you are a beginner, prefer making the paper draft first, then pin it to fabric
