Cutting fabric in a dream shows how you are handling the materials of your own life. This act concerns the way you shape your livelihood and the way you present yourself to the world. Because you are working with the very substance of your days, the way you handle the edges determines how much of yourself remains intact.
The way you move the blade tells us how you manage what you have. A hand that moves with purpose shows a person who knows how to cut away the scrap to find the good cloth. I sit at the table and trim the loose threads from a heavy hem to make it right. There is a certain peace in making sure the edges are straight and true.
A dream of cutting fabric can carry a weight if the material is ruined by the hand. If the cloth is split or broken, it points to a fear of losing your standing or being seen in a way that brings no pride. It is a sign that the way you are managing your affairs may be leaving you exposed.
For its more general meaning: Dream about fabric

Dear Reader,
Your dream is a sign for creativity, fear and organizing. This dream signifies you feel that your creativity is being limited and that you are not allowed to express yourself. You relate to someone on some intimate level that you are afraid to admit. You will organize, spontaneously, a plan that some people in your family will join.
