    Hi! Most of my patterns will give at least one completed measurement in the instruction section of the pattern. I try to give the measurement I think will be most helpful for sizing correctly.

    hi what about the size of the other body parts like the arms and chest area for making a breastplate for example?

  • @letsmakegeekstuff4799
    @letsmakegeekstuff47998 ай бұрын

    If you are given a size of a completed item, like the length of a bracer, or the width of a chestplate, then you can use this calculation. Measure yourself to find out how long you'd like that measurement to be on your completed item, and do the calculation. Do keep in mind that this only scales the entire item, it won't make something thinner, or wider for example.

    Most velcro will be stronger than 1mm foam. So some options: find very weak velcro, use only a very small amount of velcro, or always make point of unfastening by pulling directly on the velcro itself and not on the foam.

    Will the metal rip the foam over time?

  • @letsmakegeekstuff4799
    @letsmakegeekstuff47998 ай бұрын

    Thinner foam can be torn over time, but I have done the grommets/eyelets in 5mm foam and used bracers for years without any problem. I think one key is designing it in such a way that there is not a lot of stress on just a few eyelets. If you have a long line of them, it evens out the pull on each individual.

    The approximate inside circumference of this helmet when printed at 100% is 60cm. The measure from the top corner of the eye hole to the tip of the side piece is 17cm. There are instructions on how to resize the helmet in the pattern. You can also watch my youtube vid "how to resize digital patterns" which walks you through the printing settings to make adjustments.
