Full scale drawing done

 I started with a small traced drawing of the 2 brownstones made on a transparency using a sharpie. Some lines were drawn with a ruler and others were free handed. This is how I've usually created my sketches/patterns in the past.


Then I took a photo of this and enlarged and printed it. After taping all the sheets together I went back over the drawing with a ruler and pencil. It’s amazing how smooth the lines looked on the small sketch and how wobbly they were when enlarged. All the wiggles get magnified. 

Here’s the enlarged sketch/pattern. If you click on these photos you can see the wiggles and my pencil lines. In the photos you can see how big these buildings will be. Fabric cutting starts tomorrow. This should take awhile, but I can’t wait to get started!


Thanks for reading.
