Re: How to downsize a pattern
You'll have to choose a different pattern then, that will fit your fabric...

I had to do that for a bookmark for my mum. If you have graph paper (or a computer program that can give you squared paper) you can re draw the outline and cut off a few squares here and there to make it shorter, and a few to make it thinner.
Without my brain waking up, your fabric is half the size of the pattern? You could always take a block of four and stitch it as one.
If you'd like to send it to me, I can have a go at making it smaller for you? But I really do suggest a different piece of fabric.

It will have less detail than the origional image, as happens when things get smaller, but it should be pretty straight forwards. I shall let you know when I see it.
I hope this isn't against copywrite as I won't be keeping the chart. I shall be deleting it after I've finished editing it.
