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 which will be stored on your account to be downloaded at any time. PDF's will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer and stuck together and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. 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 The Fold Line. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone.
You will need
Matching thread.
Stay tape - 20-30cm approx 5mm wide.
Pocket bags can be cut in self or lining fabric.
We offer two different types of ribbing. One is tubular and cut by the metre, available in black or white. For this you will need the following: Dress all sizes - 0.25M. Top sizes 6 - 14 - 0.40M. Top sizes 16 - 18 - 0.45M.
The other type that we offer is ribbing strips which are sold in cut pieces, you can view them here. As these are cut lengths you need to buy the right quantity depending on your size and whether you are making the top or dress. We have made this table to show what you'll need:

Fabrics Pictured (from left to right)
Melodie (brown hair) is wearing the Fielder made from Sergeant boiled wool and the Tonje ribbing. Melodie is a size 8 normally, but this sample is a 12. If you choose to make this out of boiled wool we would recommend sizing up as it takes up a lot of room!
Michelle is wearing a Fielder made from Tencel Denim. This is a fairly lightweight cloth so she is wearing her normal size 12.
The quilted top is made from our Shadow Jacquard Cotton and Ice and Cream Rib.
