After all the prep, it was time to cut. I hurried home from work yesterday afternoon and laid out my fabric, interlining and lining. I carefully pinned the folded fabric to itself to help me keep my plaid as aligned as possible, and re-read the cutting instructions. I was ready to go. I cut out the pieces for the back along with the interlining and lining. I looked at the clock and realized I was almost late for Pilates. I only mention this because I was so excited and distracted by finally cutting the fabric that I wore my workout pants inside out.
The instructions tell me to put together the back and trim it before I go on to the next step. I took this quite literally and didn't even bother to cut the rest of the pattern. Possibly a bit self-indulgent on my part. In trimming seam allowances and clipping curves, I forgot to move my finger. I sort of clipped that curve too. It's a match for the burn from ironing lace. And I 'blooded' my lining. But it was all worth it. Here is the back before trim, with a corner folded back to show the lining, and fully trimmed:
