Page 15 - CUTTING OUT

Lay the patterns on the material. If the fabric you have chosen has
a right and a wrong side, lay the patterns on the wrong side and
mark round, making the second body piece with the pattern turned
over (Diagram 8A). There is one important thing to remember,
never cut the body on a bias, because during the process of
stuffing, it will pull out of shape. Cut out. The total number of
pieces should be ten in all. If the gussets are made in two pieces
each, due to the shortage of material, this will increase the number
of pieces to twelve. Add on ^' (0-5 cm) to each of the "cuts" on the
gussets, otherwise the overall length will be shortened by Y (1 cm)
and it will .not fit round the body.
