I'm not sure WHY but the front & back pieces of the clutch are DIFFERENT SIZES on the pattern.....but from the rest of the instructions, it looks as if they are supposed to be exactly the same size. Also, the pattern piece for the flap does not say to cut on the fold but that is what needs to happen. VERY CONFUSING!!!
