Single Girl Template Tips

Heavy-duty template plastic. I traced the pieces with a fine-tip sharpie and cut them out with very sharp (but not my fabric) scissors. The keys to making accurate templates are:

1. Trace as perfectly as possible. I used a ruler to help with the straight lines.

2. Leave a little (almost 1/4") space between the templates when you trace them onto the sheet. That will give the plastic more stability when you're cutting them out because you want to be able to...

3. Cut each side with a long, smooth cut. If you chop-chop with your scissors, you'll get a crooked edge.

4. Finally, cut through the middle of the lines you drew. Not inside them, not outside them. Slice those babies in half!
