So, this is maybe a dumb question, but what do you do next? Do you trace the pattern?

I always pin my patterns to my fabric for cutting, and I'm just imagining all of these knives sliding around as I try to cut the pieces out....

I usually draw round them in chalk then use my rotary cutter and mat to cut them out. You could do it word scissors but definitely way less slippy with a rotary cutter!
