An assembly of the pattern pieces.
My cutting layout. I confess, I always hate cutting layouts. I always think they could do a better job fitting everything in. Then I attempt to do a better job, fail and end up going with what they say.
Thank goodness I had my helper.
Helpers of the feline variety are so precise with their help! Ah, the cutting must be a little bit scary and exciting at the same time. I remember this phase of Grandma's sewing as well!
