"Ok. Now, we are ready to use our pattern that we made to cut out our material. There's two different ways you can do it. You can either pin it on here just like this or you can fold the fabric over which I like to do. And, always make sure that the longest part of the material goes along with the finished edge. Because, that's going to be the less stretchy side. And, it will make it a lot easier on you if you haven't cut that. So, I'm going to fold my material and fold my pattern.

Now, I told you I wanted to make it longer than my pattern. So, what I'm going to do is just keep going in that direction. Because, my paper wasn't quite as long as I wanted my apron to be. And, then you just cut straight across the bottom. And, you are going to need a lining also. So, you do the exact same thing with the other material that you picked for the outside of the lining."
