Major Project - Dying the fabric

I have died some fabric today. I decided to use the crinkle dye process, this process means you scrunch up your fabric, giving it as many folds and lines as possible. You then push it into a small container, the smaller the better.
You place a small amount of dye into a cup and pour it down the side of the container that holds the fabric. you then weight down the fabric and wait about 3 hours, you then rinse and dry it ready for a second colour or application.
I like this process, but want to see if I will need to dye the fabric before cutting the pattern pieces or dying the pattern pieces. I will see how it works when I starch the fabric and try and fold it.
