I folded the two parts along their fold lines. The old patterns (I cut them out to be sure of this) fold differently from each other. The front folds run along the same line as the front of the coat - this means that I could fold it and cut along the straight bottom. Easy. The back doesn't do this, so once I cut the front, I lined up the outer fold edges so the front and back would be the same length. This meant trimming the back just a little bit. My two largest pieces of my pattern finally looked like the pattern pieces from Diedrot's.
