Hi y'all! I'm getting ready to work on a doll pattern... the directions say to trace the pattern pieces on my cloth then add 1/4 inch around them before cutting (then cut with the added 1/4 inch seam allowance). Is there an easy way to do this or do I just eye-ball a quarter inch?
you can just eyeball it. I would rather transfer it to the pattern first ( on the paper, that way I am tracing the out side of the seam allounce so no risk of pencil showing on my work as I would be cutting that part and it would be deep in the seam. I hope you are having fun with your dolls.
Thanks Sunshine. I didn't think of adding it to the pattern before I put it on the cloth. That makes more sense to me. I don't like to have pencil lines on my cloth either.
I forgot to ask did you ever print out a copy of cabin creek dolls patterns for me. As my computer will not print that many pages with out shutting down. I will gladly send my address and postage if needed or I could trade you something.
I haven't printed one out, but I will, if you want. It's 84 pages long, and I can print double-sided, or even with four pages on one sheet of paper (two one each side, side by side). Just let me know what you want, and then I can work it out.
double sided is good. Yeah I know it is real long my computer would start to compile to print then just shut down. Email me and tell me if you want money for paper and printing and shipping or if you wan tot trade something. thanks sunshine
another pattern question-need quick help!
