We have STRUCTURE and ELBOWS

So The colorwork threw off my shaping, and I realized AFTER finishing the chart that I'd done it mirror image??? 🙃

New Year’s Resewlutions 2018

A new year and a new fresh start; this goes for sewing too. In 2017 I feel that my sewing skills developed but that my development was somewhat aimless, just picking projects on a whim and only completing randomly (the easier the garment the more likely it was to be finished). I learned a lot in terms of technique and skill from watching videos, and I took part in my first sewing workshop when I…

Got my first pattern done! Hopefully this will kinda-sorta give an idea of how PatternImage works. Once a 3D model is made in EasyToy (or any 3D program), you can then import the model into PatternImage for the pattern-making process--and this is where the real magic happens! You draw your intended seam lines on the model, select each section, then hit a button to unwrap that section onto a 2D plane. Once unwrapped, it color-codes each piece to show you whether or not the piece is “viable” (as they put it!). If a section is colored in angry red, for instance, that generally indicates that the area needs a dart. Quite handy!

Still, I definitely don’t want to misrepresent this as something where you can enter it knowing nothing about plush design and have the computer do everything for you--that’s unfortunately not how it works! You still need to have a reasonably good grasp of where seams should go and the like. Additionally, the shapes it gives you when unwrapping it directly from the model are reasonably good approximations of a pattern piece--but I find that there’s almost always some manual adjustment required. 

But, overall, it’s still SUPER handy and I look forward to sharing the final products made from the patterns :D 

Here’s a demo of it in use (again, video not done by me!) - skip to 3:01 to see just PatternImage
