One time when I was making my husband shirts...stupid me cut out the peices and THEN removed the pattern peices and folded the pieces up and set them aside. I needed fabric to cut the collar out and THOUGHT I had grabbed the left over fabric....but didn't. Instead, I had grabbed the peice of fabric that was the back peice that I had cut out and used it to cut the collar out. AFTER THE FACT....I went to sew the back to one of the front peices and seen what I did....I was so blasted heart sick and was not able to get any more of that fabric...since then I DO NOT for no reason whatsover remove pattern peices until ALL pieces are cut out and accounted for.
Just remove the pins so they don't leave rust spots! Then fold the pieces together. If the house is damp for some reason, they can rust quickly. I cut out something one time and did not remove the pins and ended up with rust marks all over, some of the pins were not in the seamline either. Now when I pin I try to keep it in the seams. Oh, and I try to keep the rest of the pattern stored with the cut pieces. Not that you really need those pesky instructions anyway, or would want to keep the pattern together so next time you grab the envelope to make it, ALL THE PIECES ARE THERE! Of course the remedy is to make it immediately! ............but for some reason, I just can't manage to do that! :-(
