What is a Fat Quarter?
Fabric is usually sold from a roll and the shop will cut you a length of fabric in increments of a quarter of a metre or a quarter of a yard. If you only want a small piece of fabric, this means you will get a long thin strip. Some shops (particularly quilting shops) will instead let you have a "fat quarter", where they cut a half yard horizontally and then cut that in half vertically so that you have a more useful piece of fabric.
Before You Begin
Download and print your pattern templates. The pattern pieces are bigger than standard A4 paper, so you will need to print out multiple sheets and tape them together.
