Simply open the file, project it onto your fabric, and trace. It's eco-friendly and saves time!

Sewing iconSewing & Design

Are the seam allowances included?

Yes! All our patterns include seam allowances. The specific allowance amount is clearly indicated on the pattern pieces and in the instructions.

Are your patterns in English?

All our patterns are bilingual! You'll receive complete instructions in both English and Spanish, making them accessible to a wider community of sewists.

What skill level are your patterns?

Our patterns range from beginner-friendly to advanced. The skill level is clearly indicated in the pattern booklet on the Project Overview page.

Where is the sewing level indicated?

The difficulty level is displayed:

  • On the pattern listing page
  • In the pattern booklet on the Project Overview page
What size range do you offer?

We offer an inclusive size range from XXS to 5XL (labeled A through O in our patterns). Our patterns accommodate bust measurements from:

  • 76 cm (30 inches) to 146 cm (57.5 inches)

We believe in using letter sizing (A-O) rather than numerical sizes because it's more inclusive and removes the stigma often associated with traditional sizing.

Why do you use letters (A-O) instead of traditional sizes?

We believe letter sizing is more inclusive and empowering. Instead of focusing on numbers, our A-O system (XXS-5XL) celebrates the diversity of bodies and removes the negative associations many people have with traditional sizing systems. Every body deserves beautiful, well-fitting garments!

What height do you draft for?

Our patterns are drafted for a standard height of 5'5" (165 cm). The pattern booklet includes guidance on how to lengthen or shorten the pattern for different heights.

What cup size do you draft for?

When applicable (for fitted bodices), we draft for a B cup. Instructions for adjusting for different cup sizes are included in the pattern booklet.

What's included in the pattern booklet?

Every pattern comes with a comprehensive booklet featuring:

  • Project Overviewwith skill level indicator
  • Printing and assembly instructions
  • Complete sewing instructions with step-by-step guidance
  • Helpful illustrations and diagrams
  • Tips for beginners
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Sewing glossary (bilingual English/Spanish)
