Let's start practice to sew!

Here's tool we need:
1. One piece of paper (Letter size or A4 doesn't matter)
2. One yard gray cloth or some fabric you don't need (You can get from Walmart, hobby lobby) is the cheapest fabric, which is for people practice or dye.
3. Fabric scissors
4. Pen

How To:
1. Pin the paper on top of the fabric and cut them in the same size, I would recommend at least 5 pieces for getting ready.
2. You can download this pattern to draw on top of the fabric, then use the pattern to practice on the sewing machine.
3. To get used to all the curve and start and reverse.
