armholes in body pattern
step 10: make armholes for the front
where you've marked the sleeve opening of your starter shirt on your pattern piece, make an oval opening a few inches down. this will be the armhole on your costume.
step 11: cut out body pieces
take the color fleece you've chosen for the back (mine is red, we're cooked crabs), fold it in half longwise, and put the straight edge of the pattern on the fold. when you cut it out through both layers and open it up, it will be one large symmetrical piece. do the same to make your costume's front/belly with the color you've chosen for that part.
