FAQ
You’ve ordered a digital sewing pattern, which is instantly available for download through the link in your confirmation email.
After downloading, save the file to your hard drive and unzip it. Inside the sub-folders, you’ll find the instructions and the pattern PDFs for both home printers and A0 format.
Please note that smartphones often struggle to locate all PDF files within a zip file, so it’s best to use a PC. Also, ensure you have a PDF reader installed.
Compare Before Purchasing!
There is no universal standard for sizing. Each brand defines its own sizes, making size labels like M, L, XL, or 40, 50, 60 very unreliable.
Use a measuring tape to measure yourself and compare your body measurements with the body measurement table provided. This is the only reliable way to choose the correct size.
If you have a similar garment, you can also compare its measurements, laid flat, with the garment measurement table. These tables can be found in the picture section of each listing.
Please Note: Woven garments need to be larger than body measurements to fit properly. For instance, if your waist measures 34 inches, the waistband of your pants will be larger than 34 inches. If your chest measures 100 cm, the garment needs to be wider to fit comfortably.
This is why we differentiate between body measurements and garment measurements. When you measure your body with a tape measure, you get the total circumference. In contrast, garments are measured flat on a table, showing only half of the garment's total circumference.
Example for Garment Chest Measurement:
60 cm x 2 = 120 cm
(100 cm body + 20 cm garment extra width)
24 inches x 2 = 48 inches
(40 inches body + 8 inches garment extra width)
Home Printer PDF
Each pattern is suitable for US Letter and DIN A4.
Set the printer to 100% actual size. Never use 'fit to page' or 'shrink' or anything other than 100% of the original dimensions.
Each page has a frame measuring 10½ x 7¾" or 26.7 x 19.7 cm. Make sure each page has this frame printed with exactly these dimensions.
If the black border line is missing on any of the four edges, correct the printer settings.
A0 PDF
If you don’t like taping pages, you will find an additional A0 PDF for copy shops in the sub-folder after unzipping the file.
Don't confuse the A0 PDF with the home printer PDF.
The page dimensions are written in the upper left corner of the page.
A0 PDF dimensions
32¼ " x 46 "
81.9 cm x 116.8 cm
All sewing patterns are available in English only.
Videos are available for some patterns but most patterns have detailed step-by-step workmanship illustrations in the instructions document. No video link means there is no video available for this pattern.
If you face problems with a video link, please do not manually type the letters of the link into your device. Instead, click on the link provided in the instruction document or copy the exact link and paste it into the browser. Here is the Link for the jeans video:
If for some reason you cannot click on the link and you really have to type in the link manually, then please don't forget the underscore after Xs_. The last letter is an uppercase i, not a lowercase L.
The fabric consumption is listed in the picture section under tools/devices/supplies/materials.
I don't sell finished garments; I sell digital sewing patterns.
Fashion photography is designed to enhance rather than reflect reality.
For fittings, 3D simulations have become the industry standard because they are cost-effective, consistent, accurate, and environmentally friendly.
The images and videos I provide are accurate 3D simulations of the patterns on a standard-size avatar, avoiding variations due to individual size, posture, fabric, lighting, and photography settings. This gives you a neutral, objective impression of the sewing pattern.
If you have a specific design in mind that you would like to see in my shop, please send me a message with inspiration pictures. I’m open for suggestions!
