Step 4Cut the pattern pieces
If your object is symmetrical, cut down the centre line now if you haven't already. The aim of cutting the pattern pieces is to cut pieces as flat as possible so they can be later cut from fabric. I found it easier to do this piece-by-piece, starting from the edge and feeling which pieces of the shape were naturally flat.
Draw the lines first with a marker and make extra marks to show where the pieces match. If you don't do this, you could end up with a bunch of weird shapes, not knowing how to put them back together!
Don't forget that you can also cut "darts" to make a pattern piece flat without cutting it in two.
