"JENNIFER CROW: Hi, this is Jennifer and I'm the owner of wedgiewear.com, and we're here with Expert Village. The next part that you want to talk about then is once you get your pattern is to actually cut it out into your actual design. Your pattern that you've drawn out on the fabric that you like, again it needs to be a stretch material that stretches two or four ways, just depending on how you like it, and just put your pattern down. You can do this a lot by using pins to secure it down, or once you've been doing it a while, you can just basically cut over the top of it. So you just want to start, and again, you don't have to follow the line precisely. You do want make it a little bit larger. It's going to look like this. And that's the triangle top from the pattern that we just saw."
