Making your own Patterns with 3D printing and other fixit hijinx

Fixing a missing pattern piece by 3D printing the pattern!

Our hero CeCe was repairing a shirt, and she had to patch a part of it but ran into a conundrum – the shirt has a pretty butterfly pattern! She didn’t want to leave a gap, so she 3D printed the butterfly pattern piece from a photograph, then stamped the patch fabric with the pattern.

Problem solved! Yay!

Meanwhile Avery was busy fixing a smaller version of a laser cutter. It’s a nice way to learn about different products and how we can rig older, less glamorous models for everyday use!
