Hello everyone! I wish you an excellent weekend. I hope you are all well and blessed by God. In this segment, I want to show you a little bit of this recycled project I did. As you can see, it's about making some curved dressmaker's rulers with repurposed materials.
It had been a long time since I'd made these kinds of rulers, and since I work with sewing, they're very necessary. Sometimes we neglect things and then we don't realize the need for them, but I said it was time to have my rulers on hand, so I decided to make them out of paper and cardboard that I had lying around at home, unused and well stored away, waiting to be used at any moment 😁.
There are many types of dressmaker's rulers used in the design and making of garments, and many are useful, especially the basic ones, for drawing curved lines when drafting garment patterns (side curves of patterns such as blouses, pants, sleeves, among others).
If you'd like to see how they turn out and the simple process it was for me to make them, I invite you to take a few minutes of your time and learn how to recycle that material you have stored away and think wouldn't be useful for anything. Below I show you the materials and the process:

Paso 01
Step 01
As a first step, several classmates brought their plastic rulers to the sewing course earlier, and I decided to borrow them to get the pattern. So, if you know someone who can lend them to you, even better. Another way is to download them in PDF format so you can print them and trace them onto paper, however you prefer.


Paso 02
Step 02
Once I had my pieces ready, I proceeded to transfer them to a much better and cleaner piece of paper and then marked the lines of the curved rulers, in this case the large one as you can see in the image. Then I placed them on a piece of thick cardboard, in this case it was the one I had, and glued each piece of paper with the ruler template using silicone.



Paso 03
I glued the first templates of the small curved ruler. As you can see, both are teardrop-shaped and have several spaces with curved lines in the center for small strokes in the pattern making of garments where these curves are required. It was a little complicated for me to then cut this curved part in the center of each ruler since the space was very small, so I used my blade very carefully.
This process is a bit time-consuming, but the results are incredible. Next, we'll glue the other, larger curved ruler onto the other piece of cardboard and secure it well. We'll repeat the same procedure as with the other rulers, and finally, we'll use a manicure file to smooth the edge of the cardboard rulers to remove the sharp edges. With this, our rulers are ready.

Resultado: | Result:
_ #Look how our rulers turned out, made with recycled cardboard! If you're like these, you can make other models using the method I showed you: borrowing them from someone you know who has rulers, or simply printing them out. I hope you liked how they turned out 😊 I liked them a lot and now I can use them when I make patterns.



Thank you for taking a moment to read my blog. I'm signing off wishing you a happy afternoon. Hugs, and I'll be posting another tutorial soon! 🫂💕.
