How to choose your size
Body Measurements:
Measure yourself and compare your actual measurements with the body measurement table in the picture section. If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size.
Garment Measurements:
Lay a similar garment flat on a table and measure from side to side to get half of the total garment width. Note that woven garments are much wider than the body, so their measurements will not be the same as your body measurements.
How to print
How to print
Each pattern is suitable for US Letter and DIN A4. Set the printer to 100% scale. Never use 'fit,' 'shrink,' or anything other than 100%.
Each page has a frame measuring 10½ x 7¾ inches or 26.7 x 19.7 cm. Ensure 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. Do not proceed with sewing until the frames are correct.
If you don’t like taping pages, you will find an additional A0 PDF for copy shops. Do not confuse the A0 PDF with the home printer PDF. The file names indicate whether they are for home printers or for A0 copy shops, and the page dimensions are written in the upper left corner of the page.
Digital Sewing Pattern and Instructions for sewing classic briefs, reminiscent of the iconic 90s Calvin Klein style. This digital sewing pattern comes with video instructions.
The Briefs are designed to feature a tight, modern fit with a 1.5-inch elastic waistband and stretchable fold-over elastics for the legs. They can be made using a regular sewing machine, no serger or coverlock needed. Seam allowances are included, and seam lines are visible for easier workmanship.
Before purchasing, check the measurements to choose your size. For example, size 12 corresponds to a size 28 for denim pants. However, it's better to measure the top edge of your favorite briefs as shown in the picture.
