1.1 What is a digital sewing pattern?

A digital sewing pattern is a PDF file, not a physical product.
After purchase, you will receive files to download, print, and assemble so you can sew the garment yourself.
👉 You will not receive anything by mail.

1.2 Will I receive a finished garment?

No. You are purchasing only the sewing pattern, which includes templates and instructions to sew the garment yourself.

1.3 What is included in the download?

The download includes:

PDF files of the sewing pattern (A4 / Letter / A0 if provided)

Step-by-step sewing instructions

2.1 Are these sewing courses?

No. These patterns are NOT sewing courses.
You should already know how to handle a needle and thread and have basic sewing experience, especially working with stretchy fabrics like lycra.
If you are a complete beginner, these patterns may be difficult and we do not provide help with basic sewing techniques.

2.2 What fabrics are these patterns designed for?

These patterns are designed specifically for lycra, dancewear, and sports fabrics (stretchy materials).
If you want to use other fabrics, please note that we cannot provide support or guarantee fit or results.

Instructions are provided only in Italian and English.

If you do not understand at least one of these two languages, this product is not suitable for you.

After purchase, Etsy grants you immediate access to downloads in the “Purchases and Reviews” section.

Download the files onto your computer and save them in a dedicated folder.

If you lose the files, you can download them again at any time from there.

We recommend keeping a backup copy on your computer or cloud.

5.1 Do I need a printer?

Yes, you need a printer or a print shop.
You can print at home on A4/Letter paper or at a print shop in A0 format (if included).
If you do not have access to a printer, this product is not suitable for you.

5.2 How to print A4 / Letter files

Use Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) on a Windows or Mac computer.
Do NOT use phones, tablets, browsers, or graphic software (Illustrator, Affinity, Inkscape, etc.).
In the print window, set:
Scale to 100% or actual size
Disable any “fit to page”, “shrink to fit” or “resize” options
After printing, measure the control square (e.g., 5×5 cm) with a ruler. It must be exact!
Cut the margins and assemble the sheets following the numbered diagram.

5.3 How to print A0 files at a print shop

If the pattern includes an A0 file, you can bring the file to a print shop.

Specify to print without any resizing or scaling.

Check the scale with the control square as above.

Patterns include layers for each size.

Open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

In the sidebar “Layers”, activate only the size you want to print.

This way, you will print only your size without confusion.
