Hi Laura, I have made several aprons using enlarged patterns. Some from MJF and some from Adorn magazine. The simplist (for me!) is to go to Office Depot and have them enlarged. it costs around 2 dollars or so but being short on sewing time I can't afford (time wize) to do it by hand (with graph paper ) . Hope this helps ! Angela

Angela,
Thanks for the hint. That's a great idea. I have to go there & have some other things copies anyway.

It's easier if you take a copy of the page the patterns on and take that to Office Depot or whereever you're having it done, as opposed to enlarging directly off the book.

I agree trying to enlarge on grap paper is a pain.
I go to a copy shop. I just went for the first time not ago.
What I hate is you buy a pattern and it doesn't tell you a head of time that you have to enlarge it.
I like to know a head of time before I buy the pattern. pinkroses

Got mine enlarged yesterday at Kinko's. It was just a bit under $9 and it is on heavy paper they use for blueprints and very sturdy.
