SHIRT CUTTING GUIDE Step 1: Prepare Fabric Select your fabric and wash it if necessary (to prevent shrinking later). Iron the fabric thoroughly to make it completely wrinkle-free. Lay the fabric on a large, flat surface (cutting table or clean floor). Fold the fabric properly (usually right sides together or according to your pattern requirements). Ensure the selvedge (finished edge) is straight and aligned. Step 2: Mark Pattern Place your shirt pattern pieces on the fabric following the grain line (usually parallel to the selvedge). Align all pattern pieces correctly, paying attention to fold lines. Use tailor's chalk, fabric marker, or tracing paper to trace around the pattern. Mark all seam allowances (usually 1–1.5 cm or ⅜–⅝ inch) around the pattern. Clearly mark notches, darts, button placements, and any other important points. - @ukeclothingng
