Thank you for the clear tutorial. If you don't mind my question: Shouldn't there be some margin in the A0 paper? Because I can that some parts of the pattern touch the paper edge. I've never printed A0 so not sure if the printer can handle that.
Hi Vanesa thank you for creating this. My questions are as follows: If you need to grade and lengthen, would you do these steps separately as you have shown in your tutorials, or can you do this all together? Also are their any changes you would update as the program has been updated since your original work?
Omigosh! I've been struggling all day trying to figure out how to use Inkscape, and yours are the first series of videos I've run across that shows how to do exactly what I want to do in a way that I can understand. (Probably me, but I really need someone to spell things out like I'm a 5 year old.) THANK YOU!
The best. I have been struggling with not being able to change the lines. So do I select box by box on the pattern? What makes the box? I am not using PDF. I use projector AO patterns.
Thank you 🙏
This tutorial was EXCELLENT!! I'm relatively new to projector sewing and i LOVE it.. sadly not all of the patterns I have are available as a projector format :( Do you project right from inkscape? Did you have to calibrate a new zoom percentage (vs projecting from adobe?).. i've got some projects coming up that i'd love to use my projector for!
Great video. You are very good at explaining everything.
Amazing!
This was exactly what I needed to lengthen a pattern. Off to do this for all of them now. Thank you!
YOU ARE A IDIOT
So you can't change it when you actually drawing you have to do it after which really is a pain all the softwares including paint on windows which is the most simple you can change it when you drawing but Inkscape decide it that that was not necessary your video is great thanks
This was very helpful! I ordered a McCall's digital pattern and didn't realize that it didn't come in AO format. I did have some trouble however, I'm working on a MacBook air, and I think the version of Inkscape that I have isn't quite the same as yours. I wasn't able to find a "lock nodes" button and wasn't sure if I was lining it all up. Then, of course, I did something, and lost my pattern completely! Even though I was saving it through out. Back to the drawing board, right?
Did you figure this out? I'm struggling now
Searched for hours for help with this and nothing made sense to me until now. thank you so much x
I just watched this, and I am more confused than when I started.
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you and you’re very welcome ☺️
Thank you so much for the videos, this has made things so much easier. I figured out that if you select all the pages, then go to Object and Group, you will be able to select the entire size. Saves a little more time. Hope this helps.
thank you so much for this video. thanks to doing this I realised the patter I bought has some misplaced lines. thanks again edit: I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't resize the proyect, when I try to select all the pages (as you did in the video) instead of selecting the border of the pages as a whole it just selects random pages of the pattern.
In that case try to select as much as you can like you did, then hold the shift key and manually select anything that was missed until everything is selected. You should be able to adjust the page size then. 🤗 let me know if that helps!
Hi Vanessa, thanks for the video. I loved the zipper that you used. Where did you get it?
You’re welcome 🤗 these zippers are from Amazon 4 Pieces #5 Black Plastic Jacket Zipper Separating Bottom Zipper with Zipper Fastener for Coat Jacket Pillow Lamp Sewing Crafts (7 Inch) www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q3WF92J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_H7AQGPTF1V51T4WH5F7C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@TheeBeautyDoctor thanks so much for your recommendation <3
Thanks heaps for the video! Very helpful and clear! Little orange arrows allow for rotating objects by 90°, easier then trying to line up the edge/manually rotating.
Thank you for such a clear and calm explanation. Great video.
Could you please help me? After resizing I tried to hover over sizes but instead it moves tiles. What am I doing wrong? Thank you
Do you have all the tiles selected? The page size should be the only thing that moves.
This is amazing! Question: why not put the band on before the zipper?
I’ve spent so much time trying to figure this out. You’re a life saver!!
Do you make sports bras as a business?
Hi sorry I’m just seeing this. No, i don’t make bras as a business.
@@TheeBeautyDoctor Okay, thank you!
This was a very very helpful and easy to for! Thank you so much! 🙌🏾 Is there a way to add layers to a pattern also?
I’m glad this was helpful! Unfortunately in Inkscape there is not a way to add layers. You can however save multiple versions of the same pattern and hide layers so that you have one layer isolated at a time.
Are there any videos that touch on how to save the file to be then opened in adobe reader for projection? No luck when I try to save as SVG or PDF.
comment fait un plan de coupe ?
When you are attempting to sew over the thick parts, try using the little black knob on your pressure foot. just push it in while you sew over the bumps. it is a built-in hump jumper.
I've watched this video numerous times and understand what you are doing. Thank you. Your presentation is excellent. I have spent an embarrassing number of hours trying to length the Love Notions Laundry Day Tee Dress by a few inches following these instructions. I am totally unable to accomplish the task. I'm not super tech-y so that doesn't help, I'm sure. Do you think running a pattern through PDF Stitcher affects trying to lengthen it in Inkscape? I do the part where I create a new layer and then work on the front and back of the dress in the second layer. When I select the pattern piece using Command A I see the dotted lines for the selection. But as soon as I click on the Node Edit Tool and then double click on the intersection where I want to place a node, the selection box around the pattern piece disappears. Does that suggest something that I'm doing that is causing me problems? I've googled various things to try and figure it out but to no avail. I am using Inkscape 1.1 Alpha, but only because I had the same problem in the prior version and thought maybe moving up would help. If something jumps out at you that I'm missing, I'd love to hear it. Thanks again for the time you put into your tutorials. They are wonderful.
Just wanted to update here. I downloaded the Ornella blouse and was able to successfully lengthen it without any issues. I have since gone back and brought the Love Notions Rhapsody Blouse projector file into Inkscape and tried to lengthen in it without running it through PDF Stitcher or without removing layers. I must just be inept because when I get the duplicated piece to the second layer and select it, as soon as I click on the node button the selection disappears. I have done it over and over again. Also, am I missing some step in bringing the guides down and trying to place a node where they cross the pattern piece? As I get close with the node pointer I get the "hand" icon. Sometimes when I double click to add a node I end up selecting a section of nodes. I'm sorry to keep pestering you, but I'm curious if you are able to bring any pattern you want into Inkscape and do what you do without any issues? Obviously I'm not giving up. I know I'm not adept using this program so I feel it has to be something I'm doing/not doing that is causing me this problem. I am retired and have tons of time, so I don't mind sitting and trying to figure it out on my own or googling for help elsewhere. I just want to be sure that it's me and not a particular brand of pattern. Or some obscure setting in Inkscape I've toggled accidentally. Thanks for listening.
Success. I gave up and learned how to use the bezier tool and was able to lengthen the dress and remove the original version from my saved layout and replace with the new correct length. Now I can project this pattern and cut it out so easily. Thanks again for the videos. I had some shoulder problems recently and your LBB video caused me to go and download it and come back for added front closure. Genius. Haven't made one yet, but hope to eventually. For now I'm just thrilled to have accomplished something in Inkscape. I will not let it defeat me, that's for certain.
Billie! I am so sorry that I’m just seeing these comments! I don’t always get these notifications for some reason but I’m so glad you were able to work it out. GOOD JOB!
Hi, your video is very helpful. I just have a question. A0 is 4x4 A4. So this is bigger than A0? I want to print my pattern on A0 paper. How can I do that?
Where do you buy your fabric and what kind of fabric is it youre using with the white backing?
Fantastic wee hack. I was worried about this style of pocket being easy to pick-pocket if I had my phone or purse in it now I don't need to worry! Will keep this in mind for all my pockets of this style.
Thank you,you are great ❤️
Hi Vanessa! Great video, thanks! A quicker tip for importing the pdf is to just drag your pdf from your explorer file (windows) to your inkscape canvas. This brings up the pdf import window in one step rather than the 2 or 3.
I missed something along the way. Which front version is this? I have a friend who has requested a sports bra.
This is from the Back series of the switch it up bra. Version Q.
Thank You as a 60+ woman with arthritis and other age stuff this is a god send!! It is so hard to 1) try on bra's to buy 2) to find one in our size!! <3
You’re so welcome! I totally understand the struggle and I hope this works for you 💖
Thank you for the hack.
You’re so welcome😊
I've never sewn a zipper into a knit fabric. Do I just use a regular straight stitch or do I use a lightening/triple stitch for the zipper part? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great video.
How did you get the layers to show up? When I import I see Layer 1 only
Love your tutorials! Your voice is so calming and your instruction is perfect! I would love to see a tutorial on shortening patterns. I'm very short so everything I sew has to be altered a lot! I'm a very short adult!! 4 feet, 8 inches! Thank you again for doing these tutorials! :)
When I saved as pdf and opened it just had the box. No pattern pieces I had tiled together. What may make that happen?
Yes, any time you save you should use the arrow tool to select all the pattern pieces. Just click and hold and make a large square around everything you want saved. Then save as a pdf. 😊
@@TheeBeautyDoctor thank you for your reply. Still has only page numbers but not actual pattern pieces.
This is exactly what I was looking to learn. Thank you for the clear instructions!
You’re welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you! How did you determine where the slash line needed to go? Very nicely explained!
Love this! Thank you!!
Great tutorial!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video!!! Thank you for this!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for posting this, so glad for open source software! I have a couple of 40-50 pg patterns that I want to send to have printed but didn't come with copyshop versions. Do you have any advice for re-organizing pattern pieces to fit to exactly A0 size to print on a plotter? Or how to create a pdf that has multiple A0 pages? Also, if you're interested Marta Gvozdinskaya has a video for creating a script that a allows you to import all pages simultaneously. Not sure if it works with all operating systems, but it was pretty slick in Ubuntu.
My patter cut off all the sides when I saved as a PDF. What is going on?
Hi Stephanie! Were you able to get it fixed?
@@TheeBeautyDoctor Hi Vanessa, I think so I changed the page size from A4 to A0 in the documente properties. I am working on calibrating my projector today and will test it out. Thank you for your help and tutorial! I have a lot of A4's I need to convert.
How did you get the A0 pattern from Mood? I can only download the US paper version.
