Now that you have your pattern and supplies, and have
pre-shrunk your fabric and interfacing(explanation of applying
interfacing here,) it's time to lay the pattern on the fabric and cut
it out.

Most seamstresses pre-wash their fabric, which prevents
shrinkage after the garment is complete Also, if your fabric and
fusible interfacing are not both pre-shrunk, it could cause the
interfacing to fuse incorrectly and "bubble".

Cut out all your pattern pieces, which on my pattern will be the
front and back bodice, sleeves, front and back skirt, collar, front
and back facing pieces, and the pocket pattern pieces.

There is a lot of information found on the pattern pieces
themselves. This information includes how many pieces to
cut, whether or not the pattern piece should be placed on
the fold, and whether that particular piece also needs
interfacing. (Front and back facings require interfacing.)
