How a pattern is made
Drafted from measurements
Each size is drafted from its own body measurements, not stretched from one base size.
Sewn on a 3D body
The pieces are stitched together in 3D software to check seam lengths, balance and drape.
Checked at true size
Every file carries a 2 in and 5 cm test square, so you know your print is right before you cut.
Released with instructions
Illustrated steps, a cutting layout and fabric amounts for each size.
Sewing guides
