Step 4: Cut your Fabric

Because the pattern pieces are mirrored, you can double up your fabric and cut both sides at once.  I have a 1/2" seam allowance.  It is best to have a generous seam allowance, because when you sew the channels there will be those additional layers to encase the bone and add strength.

Cut one set from the outer fabric, and one set for the lining fabric. 

As a last step, cut out two pieces of interfacing for the back panel (where the lacing will go), and iron them on.  This is to provide additional stability for the eyelets.  I actually used iron on mending fabric instead of interfacing because it's what I had around, and it worked great as well.
