Pattern PDFs

Over the past year, I have written and shared a few free patterns. I wanted to add PDF Versions to make them easier to print, but didn't know how. When I mentioned this to my son, he suggested I google it. 

I searched "how to add pdf to blogger". A few different options came up.

This one by blogger Projects by Jane was my favourite. Her instructions are up-to-date and easy to follow. I was excited to start creating pattern PDFs.

Learning how to add PDF File links to my posts was just the first step in the process. Next I had to create PDF Files for each pattern. 

I started copying the pattern text from my posts into Word documents creating a standardized title and footer format including my name, blog address, date and page numbers. I copied and sized photos to fit in a strip across the top of each pattern. All this formatting and fussing took time, but was well worth the effort.

Each pattern was saved as a Word document, then as a PDF before it was ready to upload and share as instructed by Jane in her post titled  "How to attach a PDF to your Blogger blog post".

In the end, it was easy to create Pattern PDF's. I'm so happy I finally took the time to figure it out and get it done.
