# Make a project, step by step

Start with a picture, some words, a measured swatch, or your own measurements. Preview the result and keep an editable pattern.

- [Photo or drawing to chart](https://threadcabin.com/wizards/photo-to-chart): Turn a picture into a full cross-stitch chart. Adjust the crop, fabric count and colors before opening it in Chart Maker.
- [Name, monogram and sampler](https://threadcabin.com/wizards/name-and-sampler): Arrange counted-stitch lettering, dates and borders for a small personal gift.
- [Make this template my size](https://threadcabin.com/wizards/resize-flat-project): Use a blocked swatch to calculate complete repeats, finished dimensions and instructions for a flat project.
- [Socks and mittens](https://threadcabin.com/wizards/socks-and-mittens): Choose a supported construction and generate a measured pattern with heel, toe or thumb shaping.
