Justine,
Hie thy buns to a graphics supply store and see if they have a
percentage conversion wheel. It's a wonder. You can take any inch (or
pica!) measurement at all, move the outer ring to the desired
measurement, and presto, here's your pecentage to enlarge.

Initially my instinct was to work out the difference between 1/4
and 1/8 the same way suggested, since 1/8 is half, so to make up
the difference use two boxes instead but i got all frazzled trying
to figure out how. I think I might know now. My other goal for
today that didn't happen was to try just the photocopying method.
Is there any particular number of times that anyone knows of that I
should enlarge each scaled down peice? If the pieces are 1/4 scale,
would that mean I'd enlarge them 75%? Oy, math definitely isn't my
cup of tea, I'm just wishing now the author was more clear on how
to scale up. It sort of leaves no purpose to have patterns if one
has to pretty much redraw each peice!?
