Here in the UK, we love the following fabric shops:

• The Cloth House
• Merchant & Mills
• Ray Stitch

The 'Using Our Patterns' document that is included with your PDF Pattern has a section with this guidance, along with support on sizing. Our online workshops also come with fitting tutorials with instructions on making adjustments to your pattern so you can get the perfect and intended fit. 

Head to our Journal for hacks and guides to making changes to our patterns.

Our patterns are initially drafted for a height of 5”8 and a cup size ‘C’. To get the right size for you note your own body measurements and compare them to our Body Measurement Chart which you can find in the pattern instructions.

The majority of our patterns are generally a relaxed fit, so cup size shouldn't be too much of a factor, especially if the pattern doesn't have a dart.

We offer sewing patterns in a range of sizes: UK 4-28 / US 2-26 / EU 32-56.

Hetty uses an industrial brother sewing machine in the studio but all the patterns have been designed for home sewing. All of our workshops have been filmed using a domestic machine.

Hetty's industrial sewing machine is a Brother DB2-B755-3.

The domestic sewing machine Hetty uses in the workshops is a Bernina activa 220 which she has used since she was 18!

Hetty uses a Batistella Vapour Baby, it's great for getting really crisp seams. Any decent gravity fed iron is a great option.

Head to your Account and under 'My Patterns', simply click the name of the pattern you'd like to work with. It will automatically start downloading to your device, ready for you to start the process of printing it out - or sending to a professional printer.

You can find our guide to working with PDF sewing patterns on the Journal here.

We would recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader to select your layers. Using the ‘layers’ panel you simply deselect the sizes you don’t need and save the file.  If you don’t have an Adobe account, you can use a free to download PDF reader called PDF Stitcher to select your desired size layers and save.

You can find our step-by-step photo guide to selecting your layers on the Journal here.

To print your A0 pattern, a quick google search of ‘A0 sewing pattern printers' in your country should bring up some options for you. We're based in the UK and in the past we’ve used netprinter.co.uk, clcprints.com, patternsy.com or planprintinguk.com. Or you can ask a local print shop if they print up to A0 size.

You can find our full guide (with photos) to printing your A4/ US Letter pattern at home here. It's very doable and is a good way to get familiar with your pieces before cutting your fabric.

Make sure your printing settings are at 100% scale before printing, and remember to double check by measuring your printing tile. Our settings are always the same so any issues in printing may be caused by system settings on your printer or computer.

The number of pages to print is included in the instructions document. 

Next, trim your pages so that the tiles match up accurately. This is super satisfying and a tip – you only have to trim the top and one of the sides for the pages to fit together. 

Then, use tape to stick your tiles together to make up the full pattern. Use ample tape to really secure the pattern tiles together if you want to make your pattern last multiple uses. 

Finally, cut out your individual pattern pieces, ready to pin onto your fabric and start cutting out your garment. 

Our patterns are currently not usable with projectors, but it's something we're working on!

Our individual workshops focus on one make, offering in-depth video tutorials with our Founder Hetty, step by step photo guides and detailed fitting guidance to help you learn how to sew with confidence and precision.

Our Art Of workshop series are short digital courses focused on mastering a specific item, such as Shirts, Outerwear or Dresses. The foundational workshop will guide you through an initial make, with our 2+ hours of video tutorials, photo guides and fitting guidance. Once you've mastered this initial piece, you can apply your learnings to master additional items, using photo guides and PDF patterns.

Our workshops are designed with home sewers in mind and we always explain our techniques clearly, step by step. Most of our workshops are suitable for those who are comfortable with the basics but want to build their skills and tackle more exciting projects.

If you are a beginner looking to learn at a professional level from the outset (and avoid picking up bad habits), we suggest starting with The Art of Shirt Making.

If you have completed any of our previous sewing workshops and are ready to add new techniques to your repertoire, The Art of Dress Making is the natural next step.

You have lifetime access to your workshops. Once you purchase a workshop, it’s saved to your account for you to revisit whenever inspiration strikes, whether that's tomorrow or two years from now.
