Aren't you proud of yourself for creating a custom colorblock yesterday? That really wasn’t difficult, was it! Today we’re keeping things sweet and simple - it’s a Monday after all - by cutting our fabric! If you haven't pre-washed and ironed your fabric by now, I still highly recommend to do this before cutting your fabric!
Before cutting into your precious fabric, make sure to gather all the necessary pattern pieces and carefully mark which pattern pieces are to be cut from which fabric! As a professional colorblocker (ahum), I unfortunately have first hand experience of getting overwhelmed by all the pattern pieces and cutting them from the wrong fabric. And wouldn’t you hate to spoil a treasured scrap by accident? If you’re cutting your sleeves from different fabrics, don’t forget to mark both sleeves!
Iron your fabric and place it on a single layer with the right side up. Place all the pattern pieces with the right side up onto your fabric, following the grainline direction. If necessary, create a fabric fold for the pattern pieces that need to be cut on the fold. But make sure that you don’t end up cutting any pattern pieces on the wrong/inside of the fabric! Before cutting, double check to see if everything is facing in the right direction! When all is well, make the cut!
Victory! Everything is cut out and ready for tomorrow’s first step in sewing your Rowan Sweater Hack - the Front bodice!
