You will receive three files:

1. The first is the A4/letter file with pattern instructions. This pattern includes 19 pages of instructions, with detailed diagrams, a photo tutorial, and two videos for the tricky parts. There are 11 pages of the printable pattern, but you only need to print your size. Pattern instructions are given in both inches and centimeters. This can be printed on Letter or A4 paper.

2. The second file is an A0/copyshop file meant to be printed at a copy shop or on a large format printer. This is one page. There is a print release on that file in the bottom left corner.

3. The third file is a Projector file. An increasing number of people are utilizing projectors for sewing. This file includes several layers with a 1” and 4 cm grid each on their own layer and each size on a layer. There are also inverted layers, which have a black background and white lines and work better on certain fabrics. The exterior, lining and interfacing pieces are each on their own page.

The A0 and Projector files were included April 2023. If you purchased the pattern before this, contact me to receive the new files.
