You can also make it this way that from this point, this line to your ankle, and it's from the crotch lane to your ankle. You measure the distance, then look for the distance. You'd look for the sensor, for the middle of the middle of the distance from the crash to your uncle. Say's divided into two. Right now. This is half of, it's, if this is the half of this from this center, go up by one inch. Okay, this is yet. Then I'll have to go up by one inch by one inch. 7.

If you're using a stretchy material, you don't need to add any allowance, okay? If your material is not stretchy, you add at least one each. Your measurement, your original measurements. The measurement I'm using here is 41 plus one. It is allowing that is 42. That's what a heap divided by four, which will give me 10.5. Then our warheads and measure 10.5. Wastes. Similar or dissimilar mad width also imputed some number or the crutch tip 0.5 kids to join the points together. 9. Adding The Crotch Extension: The next Who wants to do? We also impute our crotch extension from the crunch line, our crotch essential? How do we impute a crutch? Essential, what you do is often gets you from this point to this point.
