How to Download+Print a PDF Sewing Pattern

  • Download Adobe reader (https://get.adobe.com/reader/).
  • Patterns are digital PDF files and can be downloaded three times after purchase. Select either A0 or A4/Letter formatted patterns and the size set you require. You will have a zip file with the Pattern and the Sewing Instruction book when you download the file.
  • Each pattern has a 10cm x 10cm Test Square to ensure the file has not been scaled when printing. If the Test Square is not correct, you may need to check your printer settings. 
  • *Please make sure when you are printing the PDF patterns that you select ‘Do Not Scale’ or ‘Actual Size’ as not setting this could alter the size of the pattern.
  • For A4/Letter pattern printing, it helps to print Page 1 first to make sure the 10cm x 10cm Test Square is accurate and to scale.
  • A4/Letter patterns can be printed at home. Each A4/Letter pattern has the number of pages to be printed and a plan for page layout and assembly on the first page to make it easy for you. 
  • All A4/Letter pages are numbered and have symbols to help guide you in assembling the paper pattern. It is suggested that after printing your pattern, layout the A4/Letter pages in order, making sure you have not missed printing any, then trim one side and bottom and then tape or glue the pattern pieces together.

  • A0 sized patterns can be taken to a print shop for large format printing. The number of pages to be printed is listed in the product description and the downloaded file.
  • Did you know... If you choose an A0 sized pattern for printing and then realise that you cannot find a print shop to print this for you or it will take too long, you can still print your A0 pattern as an A4/Letter tiled pattern at home. It won’t have the same symbols as the A4/Letter printed pattern, but Adobe PDF reader (https://get.adobe.com/reader/) should give you the option to print as a poster. Just make sure the print at ‘Actual size’ box is ticked.
