[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.)

As someone who has attempted making plushies and stuffed animals by hand with no pattern, I can say firmly that you do not know what 3D shapes will be formed from 2D shapes until you start sewing the edges of fabric together. And then you learn some general patterns visually when you see what they turn into. And *then* you wise up and Google that shit dot com because so many people way smarter than you have already done that math and geometry, and much of it is available for free!
