New patterns

MrRoboto · Post by **MrRoboto** » 16 Aug 2004 07:06

Hey all.
I starting into stitching, and I had a hard time finding patterns for 32's. So I made some, hopefully you guys will be able to put them to use as well.
Disclaimer -> I'm not an experianced stitcher, so there might be something wrong with these that I've missed, but as far as I can tell they are fine.

Anti-Disclaimer -> I can assure that these shapes are perfectly symmetrical. They were made with adobe photoshop 7, with which I have a bit of experience. They are measured in side length in CM, the smallest having a 1 1/4 cm side to 2 1/2 CM. (Approx .5" - 1" for you antiquated americans

)

Adobe Format

The PSD file will open to a broken image, simply right click on it and select save image/downoad picture.

GIF Format

I am now about 25% through stitching my first 32 panel bag, I used the 2 CM sized pattern, It's not coming along too badly I think, I'm not sure how kickable it will be, but it should be kinda round.

I highly recommend the PSD format if you have photoshop, as some other programs I used with the GIF changed the scale, every program I used however, preserved symmetry.

Thanks Stylist,

Yeah, I wish I had of used the 1 3/4 now, this 2 cm one is going to be too big,
I should have a pic up of it tomorrow maybe

Thanks, I have already made my own pattern once, but it was a little too big. I'll give your pannels a try though...

Thanks alot Rob, since I've been looking at getting into stitching for a while now I think I'll start by using your panel design.

Well, hey again all. About the patterns in this thread, I've now revised them. The only thing I changed was to make the edges on the hexagons, the ones that will be up against other hexagons go out further. This creates a better seal between the hex's and I find makes the bag look more even and nice.

I will change the images to the edited ones, probably on monday.

Rob, I can't get your .psd file to work. I saved it, but I can't get Acrobat to read it.

Sorry, about taking so long to reply to your question there Stephen.

It won't open in acrobat because .psd's are for adobe photoshop, sorry I should have specified that. I do now have adobe pagemaker so I will make an acrobat readable file out of it this week.
