| Step | Description |

| 1 | Our first step is to prepare our paper measuring 38” (96.5cm) wide by 48” (121.9cm) long. |
| 2 | Our first step is to mark a guideline 4” (10.2cm) from the outer edge of the paper. After we have done that we are going to take about 1” (2.5cm) and label that point as point A. |
| 3 | From point A, I am going to measure my #88 Outseam and please refer to our measurement charts for measurement specifications, along this line at 44” (111.8cm). My outseam is 44” (111.8cm) and at the end of that I am going to mark that as point B. |
