That is how I do it but make sure to keep a copy of the pattern with it. I did a large number of kits last summer when I was able to cut but not sew. However when I got to the sewing part, more than once, I forgot what I had cut for what pattern. I also would be careful about cutting up too much at one time. The fear being that when it does come time to sewing it, you may have lost interest. That being said it was wonderful to just be able to sit down and sew!
