And oh my, those scissors! I might need them, I always struggle with cutting the pattern and taking the thing out of the doll D:

It's sharpie in the US I believe. But anyway, glad I could clarify this :). Translating from round to flat is much easier once you start using the tape method, just because you see how the form changes. All a matter of practise 😀

Once I have a pattern I can vary it, but I need the basic shape worked out for me before I can do that. My mind can't translate from round to flat. That's why I enjoy crochet so much–I can create in the round and not worry about how it will look flattened out.

Waterproof marker. That would not have occurred to me based on what you had written. (I see you've changed it. Thank you!)

It's what is written on the pens, so I didn't think of the terminologiy. Sorry if that was confusing. :). I just cut the pieces like I would cut the fabric, but I think you don't need any pattern making tutorials ;).

What is "edding"? Also, what do you mean by CD-writer? People use this term to describe a computer software program for burning discs. Or do you mean a pen designed for writing on CDs?

My past attempts at creating patterns using this method have been frustrating. Maybe it's because I followed instructions that didn't mention cutting the tape into small pieces. I ended up with sections that I couldn't flatten sufficiently to create usable pattern pieces. Next time I'll try it your way.
