Yes it is, and it is 5/8” (1.5cm) wide. This is the standard seam allowance we have seen in most sewing patterns, and the easiest one for beginners. After doing several polls over the years, the majority always voted to keep this width!

Use the layers to select only the required sizes: this will get rid of unnecessary lines and notches and save ink. To do this, open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat or any other software with the layers feature. Select the layers for your size or sizes. Make sure to select the “All sizes instructions”, “Page numbers” and “Cutting lines” layers as well: they contain important information to piece the pages together and use the sewing pattern.

Files have been tested and should work fine, but each printer is different: sometimes you will need to explore the settings. You need to print your pattern at a 100% scale with no margins. Please use the test square to check the scale. Please use the correct format for your printer: patterns are provided in US letter (for US printers) or A4 (all other home printers) and A0 (copy shop).

Three patterns are already offered in an extended size range, up to hips 66”: the Pleiades 1 dress, Pleiades 2 dress and the Stella dress. This represents an important amount of work as we had the sewing patterns entirely redrafted for this new line, in order to fit actual body shapes in this size range. We hope these patterns are successful so we can extend others as well! Spread the word to help us achieve a fully inclusive sewing patterns collection.
