I just had to share these awesome photos from Leanne Martucci who super-sized my doll patterns<\/strong> for her daughter. She told me that her daughter is almost 4 and she LOVES her giant friends! Let me show you ‘BEFORE and AFTER’<\/strong> photos first… then I will tell you how to super-size your own toy patterns!<\/p>\n

How cool is that!<\/h1>\n

So how did she do this? It’s quite easy really…<\/p>\n

HOW to SUPERSIZE a toy pattern!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Enlarge on a photocopier:<\/h2>\n

Leanne said that she enlarged the pattern to 141% to make a large elf, then she enlarged that to 141% again for supersized.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to do this if you take the printed pattern to a photocopy shop. When you resize the pattern the second time – cut the pattern pages in half! Then take each half and enlarge it by 141%.<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> You’ll be sticking the pages together so keep them in order so you know which pages go where. I have done this and it gets a bit confusing when the pieces are spread over a few pages!<\/p>\n

How to enlarge a PDF pattern:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s quite easy to enlarge a toy pattern if you have bought an Instant Download PDF pattern. I have a great tutorial for enlarging a pattern which you can read and try out too – it’s for my FREE Christmas Hats pattern<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think I made this one<\/h1>\n

TOO BIG!!!!<\/h1>\n
