Well, I don't need the fabric, but I did print out the pattern and pulled some scraps to show you how it's done. There are a lot of photos, so let me get them all loaded.

For reference purposes, there are two sides to the paper: the side with the printed pattern (Print side) and the opposite plain side where you put the fabric (Fabric Side).

Cut a piece of fabric large enough to cover #1 and pin it over #1 on the plain side of the fabric. Hold the paper up to a light and look at it. I've deliberately placed a straight edge 1/4 inch over the line into #2. Pin it in place.

Now place fabric #2 RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER on #1, with the edges aligned where #1 overlaps #2.

Looking at #1 from the Print side. See how it overlaps #2 by 1/4 inch

Fabric #2 placed even with edge of Fabric 1, right sides together
