Yes, all our sewing patterns include a 1cm or 3/8-inch seam allowance. Some Corset sewing patterns may display the seam allowance on the pattern, while the majority of sewing patterns include the seam allowance even if not displayed.

Stretch sewing patterns come with a 0.5cm or 1/4-inch seam allowance and should be constructed using an overlocker.

All our sewing patterns are drafted for a dressmaker’s B cup, which has a 5cm (2in) difference between the high bust and full bust. For cup sizes greater than a B cup, a full bust adjustment will be needed.

We supply PDF sewing patterns in sizes UK4 – 22. However, each sewing pattern or product may have different size options. Please check the product page for sizing information specific to each sewing pattern.

To find the best size that fits you, refer to our standard size guide. Match your bust, waist, and hip measurements to the closest size. If your bust and waist match but your hip is larger, consider using the next size up and adjust the pattern during fitting. Remember that it’s common to make slight adjustments to achieve a perfect fit.

Each PDF sewing pattern includes a How to Print document within the sewing pattern pack. This document will guide you on how to print your PDF sewing pattern from your home printer or at a print shop.

A Zip file is a popular archive format widely used online. It stores one or several files in a compressed form, allowing you to download several files in one folder. After downloading a ZIP file, you need to unpack its contents to access the files. Your computer should already come with this software, but you can also use software like 7-zip or Win zip for this purpose.
