I just started mine today man. Pretty tough if you're new to it. I would suggest going to your local fabric store and see if they have any pattern books. You can then get a good idea of what you need and adjust the lengths..

you pretty much have to cut it out. you pick which size you want to use. there should also be instructions that came with the pattern. if you dont want to cut the pattern paper, you could probably try tracing it if you have materials for that.

yeah what i did was just like poke holes through the paper with a pen onto the fabric then connected the dots. the instructions read like they were translated from korean so im just kinda winging it and it seems to be working out okay. do you know of any good tutorials on how to attach ribbing? im still not quite sure how to do that
