Slow down the ten minutes before the scissors and decide whether one garment is a repair, a transformation, a donation or a thoughtful pass.

↓ DIGITAL FILEBefore You Cut It is a decision and project system for one garment at a time. It starts with repair-first questions, an honest skill check and a clear stopping point, then helps record the plan, materials, budget, fit checkpoints, mistakes, offcut reuse, wear test, care and lessons learned. It supports the project around sewing; it does not teach techniques, stitches or patterns.
You do not need to print or complete every page. Choose the pieces that fit your family and return to them when they are useful.
Work through condition, care, fit, repair potential and the honest skill check.
End with repair, transform, donate or decline before money or fabric is committed.
Use the brief, sequence, fit checks, wear log and review pages only when they are useful.
