The easiest way for me is to use a yardstick. Copy the pattern piece, cut it out and attach to a corner of a newspaper. Measure in cm. then multiply by 8 or by 4, whichever scale it is. Draw a straight line from that point on the pattern to where the measure ends, lining it up with the corner of the paper. Hit the main points, where the pattern turns, where there is a curve, etc. You will need scotch tape to fasten on more newspapers. Then I use this pattern to make adjustments as needed, then use the pattern to cut it out of an old sheet or some such. I can then baste it together and see if more adjustments are needed. Do them and use the sheet as a pattern.
