- Digitizing patterns is a great way to keep them for later use, in this video I show you my process for converting a paper pattern into a true size-printable pattern in Adobe Illustrator (or other vector program).

I've never thought about digitizing my patterns but it's a great idea. You can iron your pattern pieces on a low setting no steem to get them flatter.
The best tutorial on UA-cam. ❤
Ok I never comment on UA-cam videos but I've been searching for HOURS to figure out how to save a tiled version of my first pattern. Thank you soooooo much!
A fair colored, neutral background and full lighting will help your eye to catch the curves of the pattern better. Your eyes will thank you for it. Also, pressing the pattern pieces in between pieces of thin fabric like bed sheets, on the lowest setting will help to straighten out the curling and such while protecting the paper from direct heat and any condensation. Thanks for the tutorial. It is helpful.
this tutorial helps me a lot. Thank you so much for all those brilliant tips
Awesome and Simple Tutorial
Great video. I've been looking for this content! Thank you!
This is brilliant! Thank you so much!
Amazing tutorial ☀️
Amazing tutorial, well taught
So helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video! HUGE HELP!
I've made only 1 set of patterns in my life for a costume and never thought the notches had a purpose. Now, if I can improve on my piping on my spandex suit, I would be set!
Thank you so much!
It's very helpful thank u for mkake this tutorial!
thank you xx
Omg girl, thank you so much
This was so helpful, thanks!!
So glad!
Super
Hi this is a great video, thank you!! question, you mention that illustrator is not the best one to use for this, which other one would you recommend? Do you think photoshop would work or is it a completely different program? thanks
The idea with the ruler ..... my mind = BLOWN
i like the part about comparing lengths 😎 and im looking at buying a female manakin. do i use paper to make the shapes? thanks!
This is awesome thank you soo much!! Can you please teach us how to make different sizes from one pattern. Like how many cm or inches you add per size I make baby clothes and I’m struggling making my own patterns for different sizes 💖🙏🏼
The difference between sizes is normally pretty small, I think between a women's 8 and 10 it's about 1 inch total added to most measurements. There are lots of charts you can look up!
How did you do the curve's. Easier than the way I was shown.
you have really cool hair
Hi. Someone asked a similar question about different size patterns. My ? Is how can we make different size patterns the way store bought patterns are made but how do we print when we want a certain size from it. Separating that size from the others, is there a way to do that and highlight just that size or would each size need its on file?
I make my own patterns but have a difficult time grading them and definitely dont want to grade them on paper. But would like to do this digitally and be able to just use the size i need when i get an order.
Thanks for this video this was a great way for me to get an idea on how to start.
It's totally possible to grade digitally but programs like illustrator unfortunately don't have great ways to do this without a fair amount of work. Pattern Lab has some more in depth tutorials including methods for grading in illustrator that might be a place to start - patternlab.london/home/project/pattern-making-adobe-illustrator/
That is probaby the best video i watched this is gonna be do useful. If i want to split my pattern on A4 size for easy printing what would u recommend?
When you print via illustrator you have the option to "tile full pages" this will print it full size across multiple pages at whatever size paper you prefer.
thanks for the video but I have question how can you assure that the photo is completely flat? somehow you took picture with phone or camera somehow it has focal point and image distortion exist unless you digital scan with "flat" bed
Thank you for sharing this. What about the sizing, how are we sure we don't lose cm's while tracing? I know you use the ruller for the center part, but are the other bits and pices automatically sized according with the center? How can we cross check that?
Generally good to keep your original pattern pieces while you are working on the digitizing. You can double check the measurements in illustrator against the real world measurements. There is always some risk of warping as the images taken won't be perfectly square to the measuring object.
Thanks for this, please create more adobe pdf from scratch
You should probably tape them down because some of the corners seam to be curling up.
What additional steps do I do if I want to save this as a printable PDF to sell? Thanks
I normally export my patterns to pdf with a 0.5 in overlap. The I'll add trim marks and page numbers using Acrobat.
gr8 video but i have a simple question, In the start you custom the document to make it a "real size", How do you determine what that size should be? Also do you use that Rule guide you make throughout ? as I didin't see it used after you got the image correct size to the ruler. I'm new to sewing and pattern making so it's all a learning curve.
The size of the canvas is adjustable, I default to a 60in x 60in canvas because it fits most pattern pieces but I’ll resize as needed.
The rule is only used to scale the image, once it’s the correct size I know I’m tracing my pattern pieces at the “real size” off the images. Each image does need to be rescaled so I have to repeat that process every time I have a new picture. I do check the length and sizes as I go as the picture method isn’t going to be 100% accurate.
@@RandomTuesday thanks for getting back so quick. so when you go to print and set as tile does it then automatically put that image across the a4 pages
@@RandomTuesday sorry if i asking too simple questions i got a bit of brain fog I think. maths is not a strong point for me and i end up glazing over soon as anything is mentioned
😀
@@djstumpy7399 the tile setting normally defaults to “defined by driver” so it’ll be based on whatever paper you normally print to a4 or us letter) or you can manually select the paper size if for example you wanted to use something different.
Different programs like Inkscape do work differently so check how that program functions as well - I’m only familiar with illustrator.
Nice which software are you working?
I use Adobe illustrator. Inkscape is a good open source alternative vector program.
