Cutting Out Shapes

You can do some very interesting and stylish things just by pinching a bit of fabric with your scissors and cutting out designs.

Tips:
  • For precision and planning, drawing on fabric with chalk or sharpies can be useful. 
  • Just be careful not to cut through more than one layer of fabric unless you intend to. 
  • The sharper the scissors the easier your life will be (just be sure not to accidentally cut yourself.)
  • The stretchier the fabric, the more the design will droop.
  • Stretching the fabric out will give the design cleaner edges.
  • Do some sketches and be creative!
