Questions, answered plainly.

A PDF download sent to your email the moment you pay. It contains the pattern in all sizes as A4 pages to print at home and tape together, plus the same pattern as a single A0 file for a copy shop. You also get the illustrated sewing instructions, the size chart, fabric suggestions and the fabric requirements table. It's yours to keep and print as many times as you like.

Yes, if you can sew a straight line on a sewing machine, or are willing to learn. Our patterns avoid zips and fiddly fastenings wherever possible, and every step is photographed. If you'd like company, choose the pattern + course option: short videos walk you through each stage from buying fabric to the final hem.

Print at 100% scale (not 'fit to page'), then measure the test square on the first page to check. Trim or overlap the margins as shown in the instructions and tape the pages together in order. It takes 10–20 minutes. Or send the A0 file to any print or copy shop and skip the taping.

The print-at-home file is laid out on A4. Letter is slightly shorter, so print at 100% and check that the full tile prints; if your printer clips the edge, ask the copy shop to print the A0 file instead, or set your printer to use the larger margin area. We are preparing Letter-size versions and will add them to existing downloads when ready.

Measure yourself and compare to the body measurements on our size guide, not to the size you buy in shops. Our women's patterns are drafted in EU sizes 34–52 (US 2–20, UK 6–24). Children's patterns are sized by height in centimetres, with approximate ages as a guide. When in doubt on a relaxed style, go by the bust measurement.

A personal login to the course platform, a short video for every step of the pattern in order, 12 months of access so you can work at your own pace, and a private group where you can ask questions and share photos. The PDF pattern is included in the bundle price.

No. Everything is digital, which means no shipping, no waiting and no customs. You can have the A0 file printed locally at any copy shop for the price of a large print.

Prices are set in euros. The currency switcher shows an approximate conversion; at checkout you'll see the exact amount in your local currency where supported, including any local taxes.

Home sewing for yourself, family and gifts is always fine. To sell finished garments you need a per-pattern selling licence. See the page for makers and shops.

Because the files are delivered instantly, we can't take them back. If a file is faulty or something went wrong with your download, write to us and we'll sort it out.
