Frequently Asked Questions

Am I buying a finished garment?

No. Our products are digital PDF sewing patterns for you to make yourself. Finished clothing, fabric, sewing supplies and posted paper patterns are not included unless an individual listing explicitly states otherwise.

Which sizes and file formats are included?

Check the individual product description. Size ranges, paper sizes and other file options can vary between designs. Compare your measurements with that pattern's size chart, rather than choosing only by your usual clothing size.

Are the patterns suitable for beginners?

The experience required depends on the project. Read its stated skill level, techniques, fabric recommendations and equipment list. If you are unsure about a particular design, contact us with its name before purchasing.

How do I receive and open my PDF?

Follow the delivery information on the product page and the download instructions supplied with your order. Save the file to your device and open it with a compatible PDF reader. Visit Download Help if you cannot locate or open it.

Can I use different fabric or change the fit?

Your fabric and finishing choices make a project personal, but substitutions can change its fit and appearance. Start with the pattern's recommendations and preparation guidance. Check the finished measurements where supplied, and consider a test garment before cutting special fabric.

Can I share a PDF, teach from it or sell finished makes?

Check the terms supplied with your specific pattern. Please ask us about your intended use if those terms do not answer your question. You can recommend a pattern by sharing its product-page link without distributing the PDF itself.
