Pleased with Myself
Last night, DH scanned a pattern for me from Janet Arnold for one of the Snowshill jackets. We scaled up the pattern using XNView, then printed it. Our printer is capable of splitting large images into several pages. After printing, I just had to line them up, tape, and cut! Voila!
I now have a full sized pattern to work with. It's pretty tiny, but so am I (except for the belly), so I am adding about an inch all around as seam/size allowance, and going to cut my first toile this afternoon. My plan is just to extend the front pieces to accommodate the belly, and then take them in later. My back pretty much hasn't changed, and from the back, you can barely tell that I'm pregnant. When I turn sideways, all bets are off!
This is great for me because I can't imagine sitting on the floor drawing this pattern out by hand.
First scan and print:
Then assemble:
Voila!
