being laid out on the fabric straight. And for pattern pieces positive and corrective.
to be cut out in the same colour, lay pattern pieces right next
to each other; butted up together, so they share a common
cutting line. If there is a colour you would like to use for a
small piece (i.e. owl's or dinosaur's eyes or bear's snout), cut
from outer edge of a felt piece or small scrap. Do not cut
from the middle of a big piece : think about leaving behind
the largest usable piece that you possibly can. Or share a
piece big enough for someone else to cut from as well.
