Default Hanging storage pods and curved cutting lines

I want to order the pattern for and make some hanging storage pods such as are seen here.

I'm having a problem though because it looks to me like the cutting line would not be a nice straight line, but rather a curverd line. If I have a paper pattern for this (and I'm assuming it's a paper pattern that comes with it), I would think that after a few cuts the paper pattern would no longer be nice and crisp and there would be several places where the cuts weren't make exactly how they should be. In short, a paper pattern would be good for only so long.

How does one get around this? If the pattern were all straight lines it would be easy to figure out where to cut with a ruler or if the pattern were a hard plastic template it would be easy to trace around without damaging it. How does one handle curved lines?

I hope what I'm asking makes sense!! I have enough troubles cutting a straight line with a rotary cutter so I can only imagine how I'll do with these. But I love the look of them and think they would make great Christmas gifts.
