Zlata skirt sewalong: #2 print the pattern

* KLIKNITE za tekst na srpskom

It's time to start sewing the Zlata skirt! But, before that, we should print the pattern and assemble the patterns sheets. This time, I tried to make a pattern sheet layout that saves the paper and is simple and easy to uses. Along with that, the pattern sheet includes a measurements chart and printing instructions.

As I have said before, the pattern sheets for sizes 32 - 38 and 40 - 44 are split in two separate PDS files, so you need to print the one that contains your size. I'll use the pattern in sizes 40 - 44 in this post to demonstrate the process, but the procedure is the same for both sizes.

However, I need to point out the pattern sheet for sizes 40 - 44 has three pages more than the one for sizes 32 - 38, since I could not lay all the pattern panels to the identical area.

When printing the pattern, set the printing options as the following:

Set the paper orientation to Portrait - this should be the default option, so most probably you won't need to set it, but do check if the paper is properly oriented: click the Properties button which will pop up a new window, on the Layout tab check if the Orientation option is set to Portrait. If not, set it to the proper value and click the OK button.
Set the Page Setup option to None.

In order to make the assembling of the pattern sheet easier, I gropued the pattern panels into smaller areas, each of them being consisted of 18 sheets (with exception within the pattern for the sizes 40 - 44, which has additional 3 pages that form a separate area). The assembling chart for the pattern sheet is given on the second page of the pattern, ad it's displayed on the picture below. I've paginated the pattern pages on the picture, to demonstrate the order of printing.

Before you print all the pages, check the printing settings once again, by printing the test square, which is on the page 3 of the pattern. Measure the square, its dimensions should be 10 cm x 10 cm (4" x 4"). Once you've checked the print is properly set, print the rest of the pattern.

When the pattern pages are printed, they should be taped into a pattern sheet. The pattern for sizes 32 - 38 contains 2 separate smaller pattern sheets, with each of them being consisted of 18 pages. The pattern for sizes 40 - 44 contains 3 separate smaller pattern sheets - two of them being consisted of 18 pages each, and the third one consists of 3 pages.

All the pattern pages should have their margins removed - my advice is to remove the bottom and right margins on each of the pages, and you can make the process faster by cutting several pages at once. I usually cut three pages at the time.

Follow the assembling notches on the pages and start taping the pages into pattern sheets.

Try to match all the pattern lines on neighboring pages. You can use glue or an adhesive tape for this.

I usually use the adhesive tape, as it's more practical, faster and easier. I try to save some of the tape by taping only along the pattern surfaces and skipping the outer areas, as shown on the picture below.

First I assemble the rows, which consist of six pages, and then I tape the rows into pattern sheets.

How to buy the pattern

Zlata skirt pattern costs $11.98,and it can be bought via my Etsy shop.
I use 2Checkout as a payment collector - it is an equivalent to PayPal - which accepts the following payment methods:

* PayPal via 2checkout (www.2co.com)
* Credit / Debit cards via 2checkout : Visa, Dina Card, Master Card, American Express, Discover

PayPal doesn't support selling option for my country yet, so I use 2Checkout payment collector instead.

Šivenje Zlata suknje: #2 štampa kroja

* CLICK to read the text in English

Vreme je da počnemo da šijemo Zlata suknju! No, pre toga, valjalo bi odštampati kroj i sastaviti krojne listove. Ovaj put, potrudila sam se da krojne listove složim tako da što više uštedim na korišćenju papira i štampača, kao i da krojni delovi budu pregledni i jednostavni za rad. Pored toga, krojni list obuhvata i tabelu mera, kao i kratka upustva za štampanje kroja.

Kao što sam već rekla, krojni listovi za veličine 32 - 38 i 40 - 44 su razdvojeni u dva zasebna PDF dokumenta, tako da je potrebno odštampati jedan od ta dva, zavisno od veličine koja vam je potrebna. Ja ću u ovom tekstu koristiti kroni list za veličine 40 - 44, ali je jasno da je procedura za obe veličine identična.

No, moram da napomenem da krojni list za veličine 40 - 44 ima tri stranice više nego za veličine 32 - 38, jer su krojni delovi već i nisam uspela sve da ih smestim na istu površinu.

Prilikom štampe, potrebno je podesiti opcije za štampu na sledeći način:

postavite orijentaciju papira na Portrait - ovo bi trebalo da je osnovno podešavanje za štampu, tako da najverovatnije ovu opciju ne morate da menjate, ali ipak proverite da li je adekvatno podešena: kliknite na dugme Properties, što će otvoriti novi prozor, na Layout tabu proverite da li je Orientation opcija podešena na Portrait. Ako nije, podesite je i kliknite na OK dugme.
postavite opciju Page Setup na None

Radi lakšeg spajanja krojnih listova, krojne delove sam grupisala u manje površine, od kojih je svaka sastavljena od 18 listova papira (sa izuzetkom kod veličina 40 - 44, gde su poslednje tri stranice celina za sebe). Šema sastavljanja odštampanih listova papira u krojni list nalazi se na drugoj stranici kroja, a prikazana je na slici ispod. Naznačila sam vam crvenim brojevima redosled štampe stranica, kako bi bilo jasnije kojim redom se iste sastavljaju.

Pre nego što odštampate sve listove, proverite još jednom da li su podešavanja za štampu adekvatna, tako što ćete prvo odštampati test kvadrat, koji se nalazi na trećoj stranici kroja. Premerite kvadrat, koji bi trebalo da bude dimenzija 10 cm x 10 cm. Ako je test štampa u redu, odštampajte ostatak kroja.

Kada ste odštampali sve stranice kroja, potrebno je iste sastaviti u krojne listove. Kroj za vličine 32 - 38 ima 2 krojna lista od po 18 stranica, a kroj za veličine 40 - 44 ima 3 krojna lista - dva od po 18 stranica i jedan od 3 stranice.

Na svim listovima je potrebno odstraniti margine - savetujem da uklanjate margine sa donje i desne strane svakog od listova, a da biste ubrzali postupak, možete seći po nekoliko listova papira odjednom. Ja obično istovremeno sečem po tri lista papira.

Prateći oznake za spajanje na svakom od odštampanih listova, počnite da lepite stranice u krojne listove.

Trudite se da se sve linije krojnih delova dobro poklope na susednim stranicama. Za sastavljanje listova možete koristiti lepak za papir ili selotejp.

Ja obično koristim selotejp, jer mi se čini da je tako praktičnije, brže i lakše. Takođe, ponegde mogu da uštedim na materijalu, tako što ne lepim listove duž onih površina na kojima nije iscrtan kroj, kao što se vidi na slici ispod.

Prvo sastavljam trake od po šest listova, tj. sastavim redove krojnih listova, a potom redove sastavim u celine i time dobijem krojne listove.

I naravno, ne zaboravite da se prijavite za nagradu, koja vas čeka u prethodnom postu!
