I can’t thank you enough for this video! I came looking to find out if i could use my aaxa pico projector (that i bought about 5 years ago) for sewing and low and behold you have the same projector so i got all my questions answered! I’ve ordered the same ceiling mount. Great video!
Lots of good information! I make so many pattern adjustments, FBA, shorten sleeves and body, swayback, etc. it almost seems like extra work. Anyone out there have thoughts or comments?
This was my first thought as well. I think that I would attempt to digitally alter the pattern piece, and project that instead of using paper. It would be tricky to figure out at first, and I imagine you would need a vector program to make the alterations digitally. It might be easier to do digital alterations once you get the hang of it though… inputting measurements directly instead of having to meticulously measure them out, etc. If you could utilize some of the open source pattern drafting software with a projector I think you’d really have something!
I wondered what a projector pattern file was. Now I know - thank you! Do you have to have a special Adobe to remove the layers you don't want or does free Adobe Acrobat allow you to do this?
Yes, but you either have to wait for you order and AO file or spend an hour printing, cutting, and piecing together a paper pattern. Also, this allows for cutting multiple sizes more easily than either of the other two avenues.
I need help. I finally got my projector to work on my iPad using a Chromecast. I have no problem projecting tv shows and movies but i cant seen to do so with my files. So i need a special app? All of my patters are saves on to my files, but I don’t have an option to cast to Chromecast. HELP!!!!
While this is incredibly helpful about setup, at the end of the day she is just tracing it all out on paper anyway? For me this defeats the purpose. Are there any links ppl have to folks who mark adjust and cut direct from the projection?
Old dog about to learn a new trick.... Thanks to Patterns for Pirates P4P group making me aware of this technology.. WOW!!!
I’ve just heard about this technology on a fb sewing group. I feel like I’ve been living in the prehistoric days and just jumped a time warp!
This was super helpful! I had no clue and this provided lots of good info to consider!
WOW! My first exposure to using a projector. Thank you!
WOW ... I’m excited🤗 FIESTA🥳
Thank you so much for this. I was a little apprehensive but now it’s going on my Christmas list!!
You are so welcome! I hope you love it.
wow! learn something new everyday, this method in a sewing group on facebook. had to check it out WOW!

Very cool. I’m a bit unsure about this. I love the idea, but I’m also nervous about the switch.
Very good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Super helpful for this newbie, thanks!
WOW. This is the future of sewing?
Best idea is open a shop for ppl to come in and DIY, w a projector set up, then go home and sew.😂
You just BLEW MY MIND!!! 🙌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for this excellent introduction!
Any time!
Waiting for my projector to come home this will be fun to do love your patterns
Can't wait to try this
Thank you. this explains a lot!
Very useful information. Thank you!
Thank you. This is all news to me, and you did an amazing job of explaining!
Maybe in the future, it deems to be a perfect way to draw paterns .
Great video! Thank You. My eyes bugged with the roll size of your tracing paper! Please provide a resource for the tracing paper.
Mind...blown! I think this may be a game changer for me...thank you for sharing! Do you mind sharing which projector you use?
There’s a link in the info box for the one she has 😊
A new sewing toy! 🤗
I could also see using this to trace on paper for a better fit before fabric. Then you can slice/dice, etc and make changes.
How do cut dark colored fabrics with the projector, without have to draw them on medical paper first
I would love a projector but need specifics on which one.
Wow 🤩 Technology, it’s the future 🤣🤣🤣 xx
Been watching for 7 mins already. Too much talking. Just show us then talk about things as they come up.
i have an ancient school/office projector, this video is still helpful though.

The top that you are using it's a Ellie Mac pattern? i love it
I’m very curious to know where you got your table!
What is the name of that tracing paper. Or can you provide the amazon link?
This is what I used in the video! It is called medical paper :) smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AH74VO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image
Seems to me that if you are going to trace pattern pieces and cut them out you might as well use a paper pattern.
This is kinda where I'm at with this process too, like 🤔
Downloadable PDF patterns require a lot of printing and taping. This way you can just trace off what you need.
The biggest draw for me, is not having to store hundreds of paper patterns somewhere

One of these days I will have my projector lol
It is a game changer!
How do you alter patterns like an FBA?
Where can I find one? I don't see any on Amazon.

It won't allow me to watch it :(
:( Too bad I only have Kindle Fire and an old phone. It sounds like this requires at least a laptop. :(
Can you post a link to the ceiling mount?
Im confused. If you can plug in an HDMI cable why can't you plug in a Chromecast? They input on a Chromecast or a fire stick is HDMI.
I use a Chromcast to wirelessly mirror my screen, use can use it,
you're So pretty 😍
