This is a multi-size PDF pattern including sizes 6 – 18. This PDF gives you the tiled (38 x A4 pages) and A0 (copy shop) versions. The tiled version is compatible with US letter paper.

We would suggest using the following fabrics – 8-12oz denim, cotton twill or canvas, corduroy, moleskin, half panama cotton. For a softer look and feel you could try a mid weight linen or tencel/linen blend.

For the facings we would recommend either a cotton muslin or a slip viscose lining.

Our denim samples were made out of a 10oz denim. We also used Frontier Forest Black for our linen version.
