Transfer Gridded Patterns to Life-Size Paper (Working with Patterns of Fashion & More!)

Have you ever wondered how to work with a book like Patterns of Fashion and transfer a gridded pattern onto life-size paper? This straightforward tutorial explains a simple method for enlarging historical fashion patterns, so you have more resources to work with. This method allows you to expand outside of only buying commercial patterns for historical fashion and historical sewing, and in turn, the world becomes your oyster. Once I learned this technique, so many more opportunities fell into my lap. Some of my favourite historical costuming books that feature patterns on a grid includes: -Patterns of Fashion -The Victorian Dressmaker -Making Working Women's Costume -The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking Sewing supplies, camera gear, and fashion books I use: (Please note: these are all affiliate links, so I get a small commission) https://www.amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfv.birchwood_NFEW6H34PA9RK12Q0KPB If you'd like to buy my first pattern pulled directly from an antique for the low price of £4.00, here's a link to the checkout page: https://www.vbirchwood.com/shop/digital-patterns 🕯 Support my art on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vbirchwood ✨ Leave a donation: https://ko-fi.com/vbirchwood 🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood 🪡 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vasibirchwood/ 📖 Business inquiries: sofie@helmtalentgroup.com #howto
