I've been doing a lot of drafting by hand, but now I'd love to be able to do it on my computer. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091733382896574533.post-36284112062647427502011-07-11T20:19:34.698-05:002011-07-11T20:19:34.698-05:00Anonymous, you can use illustrator. You basically ...Anonymous, you can use illustrator. You basically build a pattern piece using lines and curves and then re-size your piece from there. I work with it like drawing on grid paper.<br /><br />Although if you know how to use and can buy a program specifically for pattern making, do that. It'll do all the sizing math for you and will save you so much time.<br /><br />Oh, and if you've never worked with knits before - use a ball point needle and zig zag stitch and work on practice scraps to get your stitch tension right. Knits are a little different to sew at first but I love 'em.dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270266160105135365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091733382896574533.post-3227554197261043462011-07-10T07:10:59.061-05:002011-07-10T07:10:59.061-05:00Just wondering.. you said you learned to make patt...Just wondering.. you said you learned to make pattern by using Adobe Illustrator... I have the software but never knew you could draft patterns with it! I am thinking of buying a computer software that's for pattern designing... Could i just use Illustrator? was it hard?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091733382896574533.post-10664921444427186742011-07-10T07:08:26.575-05:002011-07-10T07:08:26.575-05:00I love your website!

Glad i gave your blog a look, b/c I thought I wouldn't be able to use the pattern- b/c instructions were horrible(one filed under burdastyle "Instruction" file- which was misleading!). I am definitely going to try this out! I have no experience with knits but i love them! Love your blog! I am going to be visiting all the time! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091733382896574533.post-5476762215037618292011-03-21T18:17:23.164-05:002011-03-21T18:17:23.164-05:00i am so excited i found your blog via burda style!...i am so excited i found your blog via burda style! <br />i have the partial made mini dress that i cant wait to finish your doing such a great job!Birdcage Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077834793655990803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091733382896574533.post-17013325438410646392010-03-29T12:38:26.491-05:002010-03-29T12:38:26.491-05:00Awesome!
