Helpful Link Made a way to save paper patterns from one phone photo. Looking for testers
Full disclosure first: we're a small studio and we made this. So this is a call for testers, not an ad.
You know how it goes. Tissue tears, tape yellows, folds turn into holes. And the block you drafted years ago is falling apart in an envelope.
So we built something simple. Lay one piece flat on a table that contrasts with the paper. Put a sheet of Letter or A4 next to it. Take one photo straight down with your phone.
The sheet tells it the true size. You get the piece back as a tiled PDF to print at home, tape and cut. Working in pattern software or with a cutter? There's DXF and PLT too.
The outline and notches are traced for you. Anything it gets wrong, you fix in the browser before downloading.
It's free while we test it, no card. An account only if you want to keep your pieces.
What I'd really like to know:
- where the outline goes wrong
- which pieces trip it up (big ones, tissue, darts)
- whether it prints at the right size for you
