A lot of people don’t know how to double a sewing pattern. It’s actually not that difficult, and it’s a great way to get a head start on your next sewing project. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to double a sewing pattern.<\/p>\n

There really is no definitive answer to this question since it can vary depending on the pattern and the garment you are hoping to create. However, some tips on doubling a sewing pattern may include tracing the pattern onto another piece of paper, using carbon paper to transfer the pattern onto fabric, or photocopying the pattern onto another piece of paper.<\/p>\n

This is the easiest method for resizing a pattern, and will be your go-to in this situation. Make horizontal and vertical lines on your pattern piece, placed where you want the pattern to increase or decrease. Cut along those lines and spread to create the new pattern piece.<\/p>\n

When you are working with a pattern, it is important to be able to accurately measure the pattern so that you can enlarge or reduce it as needed. To do this, you will need to take the measurement of the pattern and multiply it by the appropriate factor. For example, if the pattern says to enlarge by 200%, you will need to multiply the starting size by 2. If the pattern says to enlarge by 150%, you will need to multiply the starting size by 1.5. Once you have the new measurement, you can then adjust the pattern accordingly.<\/p>\n
