Free! Printable Grid Paper

A reliable method for resizing sewing patterns is transferring the pattern pieces onto grid paper. To make this process easier, we’ve created a free printable grid paper download you can use for your projects! This technique works especially well for curved shapes. Here’s how it works: Draw the original pattern piece onto a small grid. Redraw the same shape on a larger grid. Each square represents the same point on the pattern. This method gives you more control than simply enlarging a printed pattern, and it helps preserve the shape and structure of the original design while allowing you to scale it up or down.
