Easily Print Craft Patterns to Any Size

Easily Print Craft Patterns to Any Size

Have you heard of Rapid Resizer and Pattern Wizard? It's wonderful software that you that allows you to enlarge patterns, motifs, designs etc., with the click of a button. I can't tell you how many times I have needed to enlarge a design or motif and the copy machine will only enlarge to a certain point or percentage. It's been frustrating for me. Usually what I end up doing doesn't work so well...I draw the design or motif and then try my best to enlarge it myself - freehand. Well, unlike the rest of my family who can draw anything, anytime and do a wonderful and envious job at it - I cannot draw a straight line!!!

The Rapid Resizer works with scroll saw, intarsia, marquetry, applique, quilting, tole & decorative painting, metal art and many other kinds of patterns, designs, and drawings. There's a special version of the Rapid Resizer for stained glass.

Here's a scarf with matching beret that I made for my grandson (my daughter's son) Dominque. He played football for the past 2 years for the Baldwin Hills Bruins, and these are the team colors - the same as UCLA teams. By the way - he's a very good football player, and I love watching him play.

A basic picture of the scarf.

Close up of the scarf. I wanted to make a striped pattern, and this is what I came up with. Just off the top of my head and for some reason I like the brick pattern, I've made many scarves and headwear in this pattern.

Dominique modeling the ensemble in the next few picures where he's looking kind of serious. I think that's part of his new persona since he's 12 years old now he wants to be treated more "manly"...and I do quote him!!!

The Saga Continues, LOL

This is a scarf and beret that I made for my daughter. During the Labor Day Holiday I found out that her favorite color is crimson, cranberry, maroon or blood red. Whatever you want to call it. I had made a beret and scarf for my brother Maurice, but he doesn't like caps because they make him itch. I didn't think to mention that it wasn't made of wool. Anyway...my daughter kind of jumped right and said, "I'll take it, it's my favorite color". So...I had to make another scarf so that she'd have the matching ensemble. If you new my family you'd spoil them, too.




In the process of taking pictures of the scarf and beret I asked my daughter's daughter (my dear one and only grand daughter) to model the garments for me. She was more than happy to oblige. She's quite the model, too.
Just a note: These type items are for sell. Please email me (ladywhosews@gmail.com) and describe what you desire in the way of a knitted item, the type of fiber, size, etc., and I will get a quote to you post haste.

I couldn't resist this either!!!

So...I couldn't resist buying this: Vogue Knitting Winter 2007/2008 Issue. Beautiful knits, beautiful stitches....extremely beautiful yarns used in their displayed garments.

I like this one very much...it would be a challenge, and with long sleeves - but who doesn't need a challenge?



My daughter would love this one, and how about in an eyelash "mink" or erman-look eyelash or mohair yarn?
