Before you cut

Before you cut. The main body is drawn 51 in long and the lining 46 in. That difference is deliberate. The extra length on the main body is what rolls down at the top, so cut both to the lines as drawn and do not shorten the main body to match the lining. Both body pieces are cut on the fold.

Key details

• Top-load opening that gathers shut on the strap clip
