Size Charts

A few words on size inclusivity: After doing sewing patterns for many years as a side project and only available in one size for our magazine sisterMAG, we finally fulfilled our dream a few years back, starting to grade and work on our back catalogue. Most of our patterns – and all of the new ones – are available in Sizes 34-50 (US 4-20 | UK 8-24). 

As we are a super small team with limited resources we do not have the expertise in house - yet - to develop patterns that go beyond size 50 although we would really like to offer a more diverse range of sizes. As we don’t want to sell something that is ill-fitted and won’t work we are limited to the sizes that we can offer right now. 

Thank you so much for reading.

Printing instructions & assembly – fast & easy

Print patterns at home

The PDF pattern comes in two different sizes: A4 paper (21 x 29,7 cm) and Letter format (8.5 x 11 inches). 

If you are printing the pattern at home, please make sure that the printer is set to: 

This way the pattern will be printed to scale and the size will not be distorted. A quick check is our 10cm / 3 inch size ruler, which is always printed on the first page of the pattern. Best to print out the first page by itself, check the length of the line to be sure that the pattern has not been wrongly scaled by your printing software. 

Our updated PDF patterns (look for the button "with TECHNICAL DRAWINGS" for updated patterns) contain selectable layers that allow you to choose which size(s) you would like to print. This makes your pattern more comprehensible and saves ink. In Adobe Acrobat Reader go to View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Layers. All sizes are selected by default. Deactivate the sizes you do not need. However, always leave the layer For all sizes – select when printingactive! 

On all pages you‘ll find the page number (grey) and an assembly line for the pattern. Spread out the pattern on the floor and place the pieces along the lines. The numbers run from top to bottom, the columns from left to right. Tape all the pages together to get the complete pattern. 

Print at the copyshop

Your .zip file also contains a file in “copy shop” format, which you can print out at a local print shop or service such as patternsy.com if you wish. Our copy shop pattern files are usually A0 format (1189 x 841 mm), as this is a common large format for printing. 

Printers have a variety of printing options, so it’s best to google if your copy shop can print the pattern. Unfortunately, we can’t customise our pattern files for every specific request or change the size for custom requests. 

But we have compiled some important information for your copy shop in each pattern.

Print with patternsy.com

We would also like to recommend patternsy.com for printing our patterns. This small, friendly British company ships worldwide at very low prices. They understand patterns and produce patterns on tissue paper at very high quality. You can find Su & Mark at patternsy.com
