Can anyone recommend a printer that’s great for printing PDF patterns and not too expensive to refill? My current one (pictured) is terrible at PDF patterns - every piece ends up a tiny little bit out so I always go for patterns with copyshop options but that doesn’t always cut it when I want a new pattern now, now, now!
Here’s another shot of the penguin sweatshirt, modelled by its owner. This is his ‘penguin rock star’ pose apparently! And although in the previous photo it looks perfectly turned out, in this one you can see that the collar is standing up a bit (!) Ah well, nobody’s perfect. Least of all me.
