This was a great tutorial!

That was really helpful. I've just started learning to use Illustrator for making sewing patterns (total newbie), and that's because your videos encouraged me. I wondered how it was possible to digitize a paper pattern. You made it very clear. I'm going to try this with my beloved shirt block... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This tutorial was so helpful! The way I’ve been uploading paper patterns is so tedious. I’m in your P2M course and I can agree it truly is a hold your hand along the way process! Thanks for being so eager to help! 😊❤

Thank you so much for the kind feedback Ivanna! I love helping students bring their patterns to life and I’m thrilled to share this tutorial with you ❤️ I feel like the other tutorials on this topic have a lot of room for scaling error and this way ensures that everything is perfect 🥳🫶

You don’t need a usb port. They can also send you the file by email in most stores.

Thanks for sharing! At all the places I’ve been to, that wasn’t an option, so I’d say it’s generally best to bring you own unless you call ahead and double check 😊
