1. Come to the front of the room and pick up a pattern piece, a piece of tracing paper, and a tracing wheel. Cut out the pattern piece only, making sure to cut the notches “outward” Cut a piece of fabric 8 ½ “ X 11” Return to your seat ready for instruction!

2. Apparel I Objective 4.03

3. Place all pattern pieces on the fabric before pinning any of them Pin grainlines first Pins should be placed perpendicular to the cutting line, (right angle) but not over the cutting lines. Pin about ever 6”. Place pins closer on curves or on slick or slippery fabric. Now pin your pattern piece to your piece of fabric

4. Dressmaker/bent handled shears should be used to cut through tissue pattern and fabric. Notches should be cut out and away from the seam allowance- Double notches should be cut out with one long edge. Cut in long smooth strokes not short choppy snips. Now cut your piece of material out, making sure to cut notches outward, to match your pattern piece.

5. Pattern lines and symbols should be marked on the wrong side of the fabric. Fabric Marking Pens use disappearing ink that will fade within 8 hours. If more time passes between marking and sewing the lines will have disappeared. Some have water-soluble ink that will disappear when fabric is wet. Never iron over markings because it may make them permanent. Now mark the button line and the dart lines on your pattern piece using tracing paper and the tracing wheel.

6. Make a Tic-Tac-Toe board following the directions provided. You will be using all the skills we learned about today, so make sure and pin, cut, and mark appropriately! ENJOY!!!!
