Use it to cut out two main body pieces (one reversed) from one cotton print, and one belly piece from another. Press them with a warm iron.
2 Fold the belly piece in half lengthways, right-sides facing. Lay one of the main body pieces out flat, with right-side facing up. Place one half of the belly piece on top, aligning the legs of both. Pin together. Keeping the belly piece folded, place the second main body piece on top, aligning the legs once again.
