After ironing the pattern, Olivia carefully cut out all of the pieces (I say "all" - there are only 4 pieces to the skirt, which is partly why we chose it as a first dressmaking pattern). She'll have to cut out a piece of interfacing tomorrow, but we didn't have that in the house this morning, so we couldn't do it at the same time.
Then she pinned the pattern pieces on to the folded fabric
And cut out the fabric (and labelled it carefully). Tomorrow (or perhaps Thursday, depending on our plans), we'll start the actual sewing.

I remember making my first skirt--long time ago!--I was so excited--my cousin and I both picked different patterns and worked together on our summer vacation. Fun times! Will be looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Cool! CAn't wait to see it!
