1. Spread 3 to 4 yards of fabric out on a flat work surface. Place the pieces of the pattern paper on top of the fabric. Position the pattern pieces so that they do not overlap.

2. Pin the pieces of paper to the fabric around the circumference of each pattern section. Keep the pins on the inside edge of the pattern so that they won't interfere when you can cut around the paper.

3. Cut out the pattern pieces with your scissors. Remove the pins and discard the paper pattern or save it for a second use. Follow the pattern's instructions on which pieces should be sewn together and in what order you should sew them.

4. Sew together the pieces of the pattern using a sewing machine. Sew the prom dresses 2013 while it is inside out, and sew the seams on the portion of the fabric that you do not want to be visible. When you turn the dress right-side out, the seams will be hidden.
