    Argyll curve

    Since I had to make patterns from curves on my argyll jacket for the conversion i'm trying, I figured I was as well sharing... i may tidy them up in cad at some point...

    It's probably worth noting these are for a 44L so unless you're close to that some adjustment may be needed.

    I can put something like this together (with numbers tweaked) if people think it might be useful

    Hi madmacs,

    I for one would like a pattern. The problem I have is that we use the metric sizes of paper here in the UK, so instead of tabloid, I would print out on A4. Would it be possible for you to include some sort of ruler, so that when I print out I will know how much to adjust?

    I have four jackets waiting for conversion.

    Regards

    Chas

    Metric isnt an issue... that's the one with fathoms and furlongs right????

    I'm not sure i'd call it a pattern really, but putting a scale on it and changing the paper size etc isnt a problem

    Thanks. As I say, I've collected four really great jackets - mid blue tweed, dark brown tweed, light brown woollen and a black and white hounds-tooth check all waiting for conversion. This will hopefully be the spur I need.

    Regards

    Chas
