Thank you, I'm hosting a ' Posh' BBQ on 1st June and I thought I'd make a few for then. It would have to be better cut than this first one, but hopefully now that I know the 'ins and outs' of the pattern, I'll have some good ones by then. x

This is invaluable to me, it saves all that fussy around finding icons https://logosbynick.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/InkscapeShortcuts.pdf

There's a 'video' page too, https://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/category/video-tutorial/

Found this today, it's got loads of info and tutorials both written and video. It'll take me a month to read, but fascinating !! Just thought that others may like to look. https://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/tutorial-list-2/

Well, this is my first attempt at the pattern I bought. Not displeased with it although there are things that I'd do differently. My 'Napkins' must be a lot bigger than what is intended for this holder as they hide the 'bodice' of the dress. A photo of one with Napkins and a photo of the other side without, just to show. The gaps where the 'feet' go is my fault, I think I printed the base at 100% but I cut the doll at 95%, I'll watch for that later

You can, I did it with some stars. Not the best photo I'm afraid, but it will give you an idea

Amazing pieces, you do cut so beautifully, one day I hope to emulate what you do.
-
Wow, that really pops out at you. Well done, it looks good !!

Brilliant job Melanie. I love them xx

Hi Melanie. Not sure what they originally sent me, but when I 'unzipped' it and put it in Inkscape it was so, so big (Wide) there was no way I could print it. So I sent them this ''"I have bought this pattern and wish to cut it on my scrollsaw, however, although I can open it with Inkscape I have absolutely no ideahow to print the pattern. Any assistance you can give would be gratefully recieved.I’m not young so the less technical an answer the better for me.With Kind RegardsBrenda Fox" and they sent me an email with the pattern on it, a pdf. I saved it and could then print it out , there are 3 pages of A4, one with the base on it. one with the dress and 'cog' thing (as you said before it's in two halves) and one with the 'doll' on it. Don't know if this helps. I found them very friendly and helpful xx

Catch Up.... I'm not good with 'files' and things on a computer so could not work out how to print the files for the doll. However, I emailed the person I bought the pattern off and they very kindly emailed me a 'pdf' copy that I have now saved and can print very easily. I'm not well enough to cut anything this week but once I have cut this I'll put it up so you can see how it turned out. Oh and I bought this one

Ooh, very nice. Love the wood xx

@don in brooklin on what I did was to copy a vector graphic (free online) of a cog. Import it into Inkscape and then did a 'trace bitmap'. When I had the copy I just pressed the 'node' button thing and I was able to stretch and re-size the bits as I wish.
-
I hadn't realised you could buy the pattern. Well, I went and bought it and although I can open it with various things, it's all on one page that looks about 40ft long and try as I might I have no idea of how to print it out. I've emailed them to ask. I'll let you know if I get an answer. xx
-
Mmm, I'm going to try and make a 'cog' in Inkscape that would fit around any figure I decided to cut and see if that works.
-
@Scrappile Thanks for the link, I've bought the dragonfly and I'm tempted to try the spider too.
-
That's great, I'd love to make on of those, may I ask where you got the pattern from ?
-
Oh, wow, that's brilliant.
-
Oooh, nice but I'm sure way too much for one person, I'll send you my address
-
Absolutely Amazing
-
Welcome and enjoy, this is a great place to be. x
-
Thanks Paul, your advice is always gratefully received. xx
-
@JimErn, Thank you, I will re-read your advice and go through the points one by one and with luck I should be able to cut this stuff properly. Much Appreciated
-
I will definitely try this thank you. However I'll leave out the 'bacteria' if you don't mind. Predictive text has a lot to answer for xx

Ooh I have some of those on my shelf, I just didn't know what they were I don't think my wood was square as I felt it 'jiggle' but will make sure next time. Thank you so much for your kind words, I shan't give up, I'm just a little discouraged.
