Dress Project: Amanda Jacket Cutting the Fabric

Lesson content locked

If you're already a member, you'll need to log in.

In this session, I taught how to carefully cut the fuzzy fabric for the Amanda Jacket, ensuring enough seam allowance to prevent the threads from coming loose.

I emphasized folding the cut pieces immediately to minimize fabric disturbance.

Lesson Steps:

  • Cut the fabric with a slightly larger seam allowance, around 1/2 inch, to account for potential fraying
  • Fold the cut pieces immediately after cutting to prevent further fabric disturbance
  • Be conservative when cutting the sleeve pieces to avoid making the sleeves too large
  • After cutting the main pieces, cut the bias strips needed for the project
  • Keep the cut pieces organized and protected until ready for sewing
