Pattern fabric chart/picture.

Hi. I have a suggestion, or maybe this is done and you can direct me to where because I am not reading closely enough. ( happens all the time).


I m pre-reading my after school pattern. On the back in the fabric guide it tells me how much for fabric A&B for view C. When I look at view C, there is no indication on the pattern package for me to say, oh the ruffle and the bottom side panel are fabric B. That is where the coordinating/contrasting fabric goes.


I like to know this because it helps me with fabric pattern and scale when choosing fabric.


For me to figure this out without some indication like the drawing labeled or something, I have to open the directions and read the pattern piece guide and compare that with the layout which is on the tissue.


Then I think. Aha!!! The ruffles, the pocket lining, and lower side panel.


I usually don't have the pattern with me when I am at Joann's or my local small shop. So accessing the pattern on my phone doesn't help for yardage.


Am I missing something? Would others find it useful if the back said something like....


Fabric B. Shirt and Pant (Ruffles and lower side panel)...

Fabric A: main fabric for pants.


I find this to be a consistent challenge with O&S pattern that have contrasting fabric.
