After making several minimates with skirts or dresses, I made a pattern for myself to follow. Without the pattern, it would take me several tries to get the angle and size just right for folding around the minimate body. It occured to me that other people might benefit from this pattern, so I created a sheet with these two patterns, as well as a few others. Simply print this sheet on plain white paper, and put it underneath a sheet of thick plastic, such as minimate packaging. Use a sharpie to trace the outlines, cut it out with a hobby knife or scissors, and then fold it at the lines.
