What do I get when I buy a PDF pattern?

When you buy a PDF pattern, you get access to 4 PDF files.

The first file is the pattern in A4 sheets to print at home. This format is used globally for home printers.

The second file is the pattern in US letter format to print at home. This is the format used for US home printers.

The third file is the pattern in A0 sheet(s) to print in a copy shop.

Finally the last file is the detailed guide, with step by step illustrations, to help you sew your garment. It is in A4 format, but can be printed on US letter without issue.

When you purchase a pattern, you are automatically emailed a download link. Please check your spam folder to see if it was sent there. Also be sure you used the correct email address when checking out. If you are still having trouble locating the download link, just send me a message and we would be happy to help.

Once you have purchased, you will have 10 attempts to download the pattern. Please make sure you save the pdf files to either your desktop computer or to a cloud storage such as Google Drive for future use.

What paper size should I print? The printing formats included are: A4 (print at home), US letter size (print at home) and A0 (print at a copy shop).

A4 and US letter are the most common formats for home and office printers. The only difference is the size and the geography: US letter is used in North and South America and A4 is used everywhere else. US letter pages are wider and shorter than A4 pages. More precisely, US letter pages are 21.59cm x 27.94cm (8.5” x 11”) and A4 pages are 21cm x 29.7cm (8.27” x 11.69”).

Another format you will see in PDF patterns is the A0 format. This is the biggest printing format available and it is universal. In order to print in A0, you need big professional printers though, and you generally find these in local or online copy shop.

After printing the pattern on A4 or US letter you need to assemble the sheets of paper together.

What you need: A pair of scissors and magic tape.

Steps to assemble the pattern

You will find the pattern layout map in the instructions.

Cut the bottom and right edges of the pattern pages by following the edge lines.

Tape the pages together with magic tape (or masking tape, or glue). Make sure the pattern pieces and symbols match

Because of the nature of digital patterns, we are unable to accept returns (unless you accidentally ordered a duplicate). If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send us a message.

Download the zip file to your computer. Extract the zip file (double click) and open the print-at-home files in Adobe Reader for printing at home. Print at 100%, no scaling. Print the first page and measure the centimetre scale to make sure it has printed correctly. If the measurement is accurate, print the remaining pages. Cut around the edges, assemble the pages and tape together.

No, We currently do not have layered patterns. However, we provide a layout map of the patterns which tell you the pages to print for each view.

They are included in a separate pdf file, but you won’t be able to view them unless you first download the zip file onto your desktop computer and double click to extract the files. It is also recommended to open the pdf files in the latest version of Adobe Reader.
