How to print your pattern:
You have two options for printing out your pattern.
1. You can get it printed in A0 at a printing shop or sewing pattern company. Search for "sewing pattern printing company" to find a company that does this in your region.
2. Or you can print it yourself on a home printer in A4 or US Letter format and then tile the pages together using tape.
Using PDF layers:
All of our patterns come with PDF layers so you can select the sizes you want to view and print. To do this you’ll need a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (this is free to download).

Customer Reviews
This course was a great introduction to sewing for an almost complete beginner. I’m so thrilled with my creations and have picked up good skills and habits to go forward in my sewing journey. I would highly recommend this course and look forward to making many more garments with The Modern Sewing Co.
I've wanted to learn to sew for a while and finally worked up the courage to buy a machine! I did lots of research on courses that I could learn from and decided on this one because it looked like clothes that I would actually wear and were made with good technique. Right now, I've created 3/5 of the garments (Cara, Frida, and Over Shirt) and I am sooooo thankful I bought this. It is broken down so simply and clearly and I've already learned so much. Nothing seems too overwhelming and I've been so pleased with the instruction. The patterns are easy to understand and the instructions are clear. I wore my Frida shirt to work! My Over Shirt looks like a real thing you could buy in a store! I can't believe I actually made them myself!
I look forward to starting on the trousers in this pack and once I'm finished with these garments, I'll definitely be buying other patterns from The Modern Sewing Co. Exceptional quality on everything I encountered from this company.
Thank you!
I bought the workshop when I was getting back into sewing and re-learning skills, and have been SO impressed with the quality of the tutorials and finished garments. The instructions are clear and well presented, and I can't fault the quality of the patterns. The pieces in the collection mix and match really nicely and I have made a couple of them more than once already. Can't recommend enough, thank you!
