Paper vs PDF

If you order a paper copy you will be sent a printed version of our pattern. If you select PDF you are purchasing a digital file. This will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer, and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. You just need to print out the sheets and stick them together following the guide. Alternatively you can send off the copy shop file to be printed full size; we can usually recommend someone in your area. If you are in the UK we would recommend either The Fold Line or Pattern to Paper. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone.

You will need

Matching thread.

Buttons - 8 x 15mm/3/4".

Interfacing - 0.35M/1/2YD.

*Please note for some widths of cloths and sizes you will have to seam your fabric, but this is indicated on the pattern.

Clothes don’t judge or discriminate. The same outfit works on Brenda and Nancy because well-made classics are immune to trends.
