[Edit: How do people know what 2D shapes go together to make certain 3D shapes when *making patterns.]
I know if someone wanted to sew a cube, they would cut 6 squares and sew them together. If they wanted to sew a pyramid, they would cut 1 square and 4 triangles.
But what about weird shapes like with stuffed animals? If someone had never seen a sewing pattern for a teddy bear in their entire life, how would they know what shapes to cut and sew to make the teddy bear?
(It seems simple in concept, but it’s hard to imagine how certain shapes would come together to create something like a humanoid doll.)

Think of a video game character from the early Playstation/ n64 era, that are all blocky and look like they wer emade with building blocks. Now think of a three dimensional figure of character from a modern video game title. That seemingly realistic figure is a mesh of triangles – with enough triangles, you can make practically smooth looking shapes.
People who sew are good at combining shapes like those videogame artists are, but in the real world using pieces of fabric.
