" My goal today is to see about finding somewhere that has a projector, maybe the library, or even finding a cheap one I could pick up at the office supply store." Michaels or Hobby Lobby, they have a variety of prices

Well, I started battling the grid method last night. I started by tracing the pieces onto the 1/4" graph paper and I felt like everything was going great... and I knew exactly how to dive into the next step, which is redrawing the unscaled pieces using the 1" grid cutting board. Here's where I tripped... the pieces are in 1/8" scale. Two pieces provided however are in 1/4. I began to question how I am supposed to do the enlarging from that scale and maybe I was just overtired but nothing was making anymore sense to me so I stopped for the night. My goal today is to see about finding somewhere that has a projector, maybe the library, or even finding a cheap one I could pick up at the office supply store. Either way, I mean no matter how I enlarge them it is true, I already knew that doing mock-ups from muslin will be my first chore before I start planning how much material to get from a finished pattern set. Luckily, hopefully, I have time for this trial and error period. I will be wearing the full period undergarments under the dress, nor do I mind the period-correct limited range of motion that was designed into the clothing. It's probably the shoulders and height I'll have to adjust since while I'm not tall, 150 years ago I would be considered so, and my arms tend to be a tad unproportionately longer than they probably should be, even for today. Right now I'm worried just about getting full size patterns. T __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
