Not sure where to put this!
I created a pattern a few years ago,dug it out and discovered I'd stored the wrong version. Never mind redid the pattern (not that different) but I've always wanted to make it larger.
So. It's a pattern for a dragon paper/pattern weight/pin cushion/cute thing to put on display etc. But I want to make a doorstop version. I've no idea how to enlarge it. It's on scraps of paper (needs to be made more robust though!) and I don't really know where to start as I freehanded and trial and errored it.
Clever ideas and helpful thoughts required!
And cute pictures.

Have you got access to a photocopier, either at home or in your local library? Once you have photocopied the original paper pieces you can then enlarge them.
Looks great though, my grandson would love it!

If it hasn't got many pattern pieces I would just draw it onto squared paper and copy across to larger squares (there's a name for it that I can't remember).

Photocopying or drawing out onto bigger squares are the two methods although it looks as though the pieces are already bigger than A4 so probably home copying using your printer is ruled out.
