Pyffer3,
I read the pattern 2-3-4 times, what ever it takes to get a good understanding of how to do it. Then take small pieces of paper or post it notes and identify each piece of fabric. I put the name,number or letter and length onto the paper along with the pieces that need to be cut from the selected piece. I keep each separated in a plastic bag which helps when you start to assemble. If there are still questions on the block, I cut one out of construction paper (or other fabric) and sew it together to get a good idea of where it's going. This may seem like a lot of extra steps, but it helps to keep me on track to having the kit work out and also makes sure that the amount of fabric is called for in the pattern is what is actually there. Sometimes there are 2 fabrics that are close in color and measuring them assures that the right piece is being used in the proper place. Hope you find some of this info useful.
