So I looked into my wool storage bag and pulled out the charcoal wool, formerly a pantsskirt, skirtpants, culotte, whatever those things are called.
I also found some pieces of cardboard and a plastic sign, my hammer and knife and have proceeded to slash the wool hither and yon. I'm not sure what it will look like, but I'm mounting it on an interlining at the moment and will make it up into a front lacing bodice. My cuts are undoubtedly horribly uneven and some are bound to be double-slashed and too short, or too long. But I didn't have a chisel of any kind, only a knife and my hammer.
I drew out the slashing pattern on a piece of paper which I pinned to the top of the wool and used the knife through all the layers all at once. It will be very thrilling to see how it works.
