Sewing patterns are the instructions for creating a garment. They usually come printed on large sheets of paper which need to be cut out and taped together before you can use them. If you need a larger size than what is available, you can enlarge the pattern.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to enlarge a sewing pattern is to use a photocopier. Place the pattern piece on the photocopier, and use the enlargement settings to increase the size of the image.<\/p>\n

How do you upsize a sewing pattern? <\/h2>\n

There is no one definitive way to grade a pattern, but there are some general guidelines that can be followed. One way to grade a pattern is to determine how many sizes you need to go up or down from the original size, and then to measure the amount between sizes along each line on the pattern. You can then plot the next size (or next two sizes) using the measurements. another way to grade a pattern is to use a grading ruler or template, which will have the measurements for each size already marked. You can simply line up the ruler or template with the lines on the pattern and trace the new sizes.<\/p>\n

When you are working with a pattern, it is important to make sure that you measure the pattern correctly. You can do this by multiplying the measurement by as much as needed. For example, if the pattern says to enlarge by 200%, then you would multiply the starting size by 2. If the pattern says to enlarge by 150%, then you would multiply the starting size by 1.5. This will ensure that your finished project is the correct size.<\/p>\n

There are a few different ways that you can go about sorting out the pages of a document, depending on how many pages there are and how they are arranged. If there are only a few pages, you can simply tape them together, folding over the top or bottom edge to create a clean fold. If there are more pages, you can either cut off the excess paper at the edges or bind the pages together using a stapler or binding clips. Whichever method you choose, make sure that all of the pages are securely fastened together so that they don’t come loose.<\/p>\n

To print a smaller image, set the “Custom scale” to your desired percentage (should be less than 100%). The page will print a smaller image on the same sheet.<\/p>\n

To print a larger image, click on the “Poster” button. This will print the image on multiple sheets of paper, which you can then piece together to create a larger image.<\/p>\n

How do you upsize a vintage pattern? <\/h2>\n

I find the easiest way to resize a vintage pattern is to write down each set of measurements and then find the difference between each one by subtracting the vintage size from my size. I will then split up that difference, distributing it to resize my pattern.<\/p>\n

You will want the pattern piece to be around 1 to 15 inches (25-4 cm) longer than the actual dress. This takes into account the seam allowance at the shoulder and the hem. Work out how much you want to adjust the pattern.<\/p>\n

How do you double the size of a pattern? <\/h2>\n

Amigurumi are traditionally made with single crochet stitches, which are square in shape. This means that, in theory, you can double the size of an amigurumi pattern without changing the yarn or hook by doubling both the number of stitches in each round and the number of rounds. This would turn each stitch of the pattern into a 2×2 square of stitches, making the overall project twice as large.<\/p>\n

Pattern grading is a way to resize a sewing pattern to a larger or smaller size. To grade a pattern, you cut it apart and then slightly adjust the pieces so that they fit together when you trace them onto a larger or smaller piece of paper. This is a helpful technique if you want to make a garment in a different size than the pattern you have.
