Hey guys, recently I drew a pattern for an Amazing Spider Man mask, based on the pattern of McL34N's and a few other people's with a similar design. I would like to get it printed, but I've hit a rut, as I'm not sure how to size it correctly to fit my head. Do I measure from top of the head, to the jaw? Or perhaps somewhere else?
This isn't the full pattern by any means, but merely the basic shape. Any help is appreciated!

Easiest thing to do: buy some lycra/spandex from a local fabric store and mock up your pattern...even just by hand sewing it. You'll quickly get a sense for what size would fit you and your head the best.

Thanks for the input, that's what I'll just have to do. Do you think that it would be easiest to print out the outline of the pattern onto some paper (to a size which seems reasonable) and use that as a guideline, of which I can either size up or size down, or just cut it into the shape of pattern as best as I can and go from there? Thanks again.

So long as you don't have a shortage of paper, I'd print it out on paper and trace it onto the fabric.
