ALGORITHM 3 - RECONSTRUCTION:
SET UP: NUMBER THE PATTERN PIECES - PIECES CAN BE MORE THAN 1 SHAPE
IF THE PATTERN WAS GENERATED THROUGH ANOTHER
ALGORITHM, USE THE SAME NUMBERS
CUT OUT ALL YOUR PATTERN PIECES IN YOUR FABIC
INTERPRETING THE DATA:
THE ALGORITHM - X = RELEVANT NUMBER FOR THIS STEP
1. CLOSE SHAPE - YES WHEN X IS EVEN
BEFORE JOINING TO ANY OTHER PIECES, SEW CLOSED ANY
PARTS AROUND CORNERS OF THE PATTERN SHAPE WHERE
THE EXTERNAL ANGLE IS 90O OR LESS, SHOULD BE SIMILAR
TO CLOSING CUT OUT DARTS IN A TRADITIONAL PATTERN,
IF A NEW CORNER IS CREATED DO NOT CLOSE THIS TOO
2. SELECT SIDE - SELECT SIDE X OR X - N
SELECT THE SIDE OF THE PATTERN PIECE YOU ARE GOING
SEW, IF X IS GREATER THAN THE NUMBER OF SIDES THEN
SUBTRACT THE NUMBER OF SIDES FROM IT AND THE SIDE
THAT MATCHES THIS NUMBER
3. SELECT SHAPE - SELECT SHAPE X OR X - N
SELECT THE PATTERN PIECE YOU ARE GOING TO SEW THIS
SIDE TO, IF X IS GREATER THAN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
PATTERN PIECES, THEN SUBTRACT THE NUMBER OF PIECES
FROM X AND SELECT THE PIECE THAT MATCHES THIS
NUMBER
4. SELECT SIDE - SELECT SIDE X OR X - N
WITHIN THE PATTERN PIECE YOU JUST SELECTED, SELECT
THE SIDE NUMBER YOU ARE GOING TO SEW THE ORIGINAL
SHAPE TO, IF X IS GREATER THAN THE NUMBER OF SIDES
THEN SUBTRACT THE NUMBER OF SIDES FROM X AND
SELECT THE SIDE THAT MATCHES THIS NUMBER
5. FULL LENGTH - 5YES WHEN X IS ODD, 1/2 WHEN X IS EVEN
IF X IS ODD, SEW THE 2 SIDES TOGETHER SO THAT THEY
ARE THE SAME LENGTH BY PLEATING OR GATHERING THE
LONGER SIDE UNTIL IT FITS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE
SHORTER ONE, IF X IS EVEN, PLEAT OR GATHER THE SIDE
SELECTED IN STEP 4 SO THAT IT FITS INTO 1/2 OF THE
LENGTH OF THE SIDE SELECTED IN STEP 1 AND SEW FROM
THE TOP CORNER OF THIS SIDE
6. RIGHT SIDE 1 - UP WHEN X IS ODD, DOWN WHEN X IS EVEN
IF X IS ODD THEN PLACE THE ORIGINAL PIECE (SIDE
SELECTED IN STEP 1) SO THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE
FABRIC IS FACING UPWARDS WHEN SEWING, IF X IS EVEN
THEN POSITION SO THAT THE RIGHT SIDE IS FACING DOWN
7. RIGHT SIDE 2 - UP WHEN X IS ODD, DOWN WHEN X IS EVEN
IF X IS ODD THEN PLACE THE PIECE SELECTED IN STEP 2 SO
THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FABRIC IS FACING UPWARDS
WHEN SEWING, IF X IS EVEN THEN POSITION SO THAT THE
RIGHT SIDE IS FACING DOWN
