First I tried to vectorize it automatically, but the result didn't look good. Then I put the picture in the background and draw the outline with the mouse; I only placed a point at each corner, and then smoothed the lines (there is a option for line objects; sorry that I cannot give the correct technical terms, since I'm using the German version of the software). The second picture shows a screenshot of the pattern drawing with the line option symbols. In addition to the outline, I also drawed a little circle for a punch hole. Be sure to clone the circle and not to copy it. Summer shoes. How An Urban Abo Tans a fox Hide. How an Urban Abo Tans a Fox Hide by Bill Scherer Urban Abo sounds like an oxymoron.
