Update on pattern cutting

After I had planned and created my template for my 60s dress I was finally ready to cut out the material and that is exactly what I did! I was so nervous incase I cut it wrong but I managed it! I started off by folding my material in half! SELVEDGE TO SELVEDGE! ( my way of remembering it) with the right side on the inside and placing all my pattern piece in the correct place with all the on the fold pieces on the fold and the rest with the grain line parallel to the fold. Making sure I saved as much material as I could! I left the sleeve and the pockets out as I cut these out on a separate coloured material.
