How to Cut out Guitar Tabs from Fabric

Video Transcript

"I'm Candi-Cane Canncel with Expert Village. So this clip I'm going to show you how to take your pattern for your guitar tab and actually cut it out of the fabric. So you want to lay out your fabric, and with this particular fabric, one side is matte and woven and the other side is shiny. We're going to use the shiny side as the right side. So you just want to lay your fabric out, the shiny side is up, and I'm going to fold it over, take my pattern, and then I'm just going to trace it out. Take my pattern and then I'm going to trace it out. And do the same for the next tab. Each tab is actually going to be two pieces. So, you'll be cutting out four total. Once you've traced them out, you just go ahead and cut. This fabric's a little bit tough to cut because it's so thick. And because we are stitching them together, you just want to make sure that they're as rounded as possible with no little bits sticking up. Just do the same for the other strap, the other tab. And then you have your tabs."
