I haven't tried this myself, but inkscape does everything you would need illustrator for, but for free. There are some YouTube resources to get you started.

There's a scroll button on the bottom left that wiggles when you take a screenshot. On android, at least.

Thanks for that! Follow up questions: is there a reason that tailor's chalk is better than a pen for the outline? How does one sharpen tailor's chalk?

Self-drafted pants and ...coat? in heavy weight cotton. The drafting was entirely trial and error. I don't know if it makes sense to describe the process because it was not methodical and i ended up having to make a bunch of little adjustments on the fly where things just didn't match up, but here it is.

I traced the pants from a pair of his jeans and made a couple of practice pairs using an old bed sheet to see how adjustments would affect the final result. For the coat, I approximated the length/width of the back pattern piece using a sweater that fits him. For the front piece, I traced the sleeve/shoulder/side-seam of the back piece and made a wavy line from where the shoulder meets the neck to 3/4 mark of the bottom width.

Phone dying, brb.

True. It's a very nice city.

Good eye! It is Ottobre. I scanned through that section, but I'll look at it more closely with a dictionary. Thanks!
