Scan

Ten days ago,  I managed to do a sterling job of clwaring the kitchen worktops and cleaning. We also did a mini declutter of part of the loft,  and I was able to give away most of the stuff. The rest went to the tip.   We now have enough space to put the beer and wine stuff back up there.

I even managed to identify quite a lot of fabric for destashing, but I haven't managed to sell it yet.  It's been moved into the box room, so that I can continue the Tetris involved in moving fabric about.  

I had my booster a few days ago and I've had a bit of a reaction to it, which is a nuisance.  

I had decided to make myself some long sleeved tee shirts, as it's a bit chilly now.  I couldn't find the sleeve pieces for any of my self drafted patterns.    So, I had to go through them more carefully, and I decided that I would get on and do the scanning.

The carrier sheet I bought is too big.  I debated for a day or two whether to cut it, or to buy one the right size.  They are horrendously expensove, nearly £100,  so I decided I'd cut it.   I#m going ot do that today.

I did some test scans in the meantime, and they are looking accurate enough.

I hope this works.

The idea is that I will scan in all my "self drafted" pattern pieces.       It  originally meant that it didn't matter if I lost pieces, I could reprint them.  It also meant that when I want to make alterations, I can print a copy of the original, rather than having to trace a copy.

Now that I have a projector, it also means that I don't need to print them, I can just project them!

Tools like Inkscape should help as well.

 I so hope this works.
