What is a PDF pattern?

A sewing pattern in PDF format is in digital format and is therefore not a physical product. To start sewing, you will need to print it out to get a physical copy. Our PDF patterns come in two different print formats: A0 (1189 x 841 mm) and A4 (297 x 210 mm).

Are all patterns compatible with one another?

Of course! The patterns in each category are all compatible with one another. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, a collar cannot be used with a V-neck top. Feel free to use our simulator to see which options are incompatible.

Which sizes are available?

Our patterns are available in sizes 34 to 44. Measurements are given in cm and are based on the measurements of a “standard” woman with an average height of 168 cm. To choose the size which fits you best, we recommend that you use the size chart on our website and in the instruction manual.

How do I use a size chart?

The measurements in our charts refer to the standard values used to construct the garment. Therefore, they do NOT refer to the dimensions of the finished garment. Compare the measurements given in the chart with your own measurements. Please note that the chart values are in cm.

Are seam allowances included?

To let you fully customise your patterns, seam allowances are NOT included. This way, you can add the seam allowances of your choice, according to your favourite finishes.

When will I receive my pattern?

The great thing about sewing patterns in digital format is that once payment has been made and approved, you will receive your pattern by email within seconds. You can start sewing straight away…
