Hello, my friends! How are you? I’m getting ready to travel to Indiana to visit relatives this weekend, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to fully execute my glorious vacation wardrobe sewing plan I had in mind. However, in the process of attempting said sewing plan, I’ve discovered a life-changing thing: PDF Plotting<\/a>.<\/p>\n I found out about PDF Plotting through a very thorough and super helpful blog post on Sew Liberated<\/a>. I bet most of you sewing mavens are already familiar with this alternative to the daunting task of printing\/cutting out\/taping PDF patterns, and though I’d vaguely noticed the online community mentioning copy shop printing of patterns, my hard-wired brain was slow to pick up on this amazing time saving and relatively economical option.<\/p>\n It’s so<\/em> easy! The one thing I would advise is to double-check the dimensions of the file size in Acrobat (you hover over the lower left corner to get the file size dimensions once it’s opened in the Acrobat Reader). I made a mistake when I entered the sizing info, but the folks at PDF Plotting were very kind about pointing out my errors, and I had beautifully printed patterns on large format paper in a matter of two days from the moment I submitted the order. Magic!<\/p>\n I plan to order more from PDF Plotting when I get back from my midwestern vacation, and in the meantime, I’m going to see if I can crank out at least an Ogden Cami<\/a> or Kate Bias Top<\/a> by Sunday. The Persephone Pants<\/a> will have to wait, though I really want a pair NOW.<\/p>\n Have you tried getting PDF patterns printed? How has your experience been?<\/p>\n Alright, it’s time for me to get going on some sewing! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, my friends!
