Faitmain – Faitcoeur

Handmade - Heartmade

Done with my hands, from the bottom of my heart

F.A.Q.

What do you mean by "marks" ?

To understand the technic, I advise you to start with the geometrical ones.
Instructions are HERE.

How do I adapt the pattern to my book ?

Measure your book sheets height, substract 26, then divide by 2.
Add the result to all the marks.

Count your book number of sheets, substract 188, then divide by 2.
The result tells you on which sheet you start folding.

      L’origine des patrons est pourtant le pixel… puisque c’est moi qui ai été la toute première à conceptualiser les oeuvres d’Isaac Salazar ;-)
      La construction du patron se fait à partir du logiciel Photoshop, le pixel est l’unité de mesure qui permet le plus la reproduction des détails (contrairement aux patrons lignés). Cette dimension de pixel ne sert qu’à la construction, à l’étape pliage vous avez des mesures en cm.

    Came across ur patterns but as yet have not been able to see them as downloads so are they lines or measurments hopefully measurments as my eyes won’t let me use lines. Was wondering how can I get hold of multiple line patterns by using measurments as of yet can only find one where u do not have to cut book thank you for the pattern looks lovely.

      All my patterns are with measurements. You can download the free ones on this website by clicking on the link beside the second pic. The others are available on my online shop.
      If you want to get measurements from a lines pattern, print it and measure with a ruler but your eyes won’t be happy…

      For smother curves patterns are made with two decimals.
      13.67cm = 13cm + 6mm + 1/2mm (rounded to the nearest 0.05).

    Hi can you explain how to convert measurements as I don’t understand 8.92, 9.67, 13.58, 11.42 and so on I new to this but measurements are really confusing

      18 May 2015

      To make smooth curves I usually use numbers with 2 decimals, rounded to the nearlier 0.05cm.
      Céline hadn’t rounded her marks, so :
      8.92 = 8.90 = 8cm + 9mm
      9.67 = 9.65 = 9cm + 6mm + 1/2mm

    Thanks for sharing this pattern!

    I have a question though. I’ve folded a couples of books before but never seen marks with more than one decimal. The marks I’ve seen before looked for exempel like this – 11,3 and 14,8.
    But for this pattern it looks like this – 10,83 and 11,17.

    How do I do? Should I go for just the first decimal?
    (Hope you understand my question)

    Reply

      30 Jun 2014

      Calculating 2 decimals marks makes a more accurated shape.
      Céline doesn’t make the calculations on her patterns, but my method rounded off to the nearest 0,05 cm (11.3 → 11.5 and 14.8 → 15).
