In this session, I demonstrated how to cut the fabric and lining for the Amanda dress project. I explained the different fabrics I would be using for the bodice, skirt, and lining, and showed the process of cutting out all the necessary pattern pieces.

I used a crepe back satin fabric, cutting the matte side for the bodice and lower skirt, and the satin side for the top skirt. I also cut lining pieces, using the satin side of the same fabric for the bodice lining, and a separate lining fabric for the skirt.

Lesson Steps:

• Cut the bodice and lower skirt pieces from the matte side of the crepe back satin
• Cut the top skirt pieces from the satin side of the fabric
• Cut the bodice lining pieces from the satin side of the crepe back satin
• Cut the skirt lining pieces from a separate lining fabric
• Organize and label the cut pieces by placing the pattern on top
• Add notches to the pattern pieces as needed
• Prepare all the cut fabric and lining pieces for sewing
