Commercial patterns

In textiles we have been learning about commercial patterns, I chose to make a skirt I was gonna make a hoodie but thought I should try something different. We are making miniskirts using the commercial patterns that our teacher is providing, we have traced the commercial pattern onto paper and our next step is to trace them onto a piece of fabric.
