*****************
My INSTRUCTIONS come merely as my written ASSISTANCE (sorry, no Sewing Masterclass as I do not have skills for videos and graphics).
I write my instructions COVERING EVERY STEP but keep the sentences short and directive hoping to help non-English customers. If there are only a couple of seams involved and the garment could be done as easily as 1-2-3, it would be described this way.
Though I have lived in the UK for more than 20 years, the English language is not my native. I use it for my patterns as this is the most popular language globally.
INSTRUCTION PREVIEWS could be seen among my listing images.
Please, pay attention to an item NAME (an APRON fit would be different from a DRESS, i.e. a looser shape to be expected).
Also, the higher the size, the more a STANDARD measurements table could be distant from the real body of a customer. No one is faulty - sewing a garment gives you the power of every step in the project: measure yourself/ choose the pattern sizes to work with/ amend the pattern to your measurement and design/ alter your garment following the fittings.
Need more info? - Ask me - I am happy to assist you))
Of course, if you believe there is a problem with the pattern, I do expect to be contacted to resolve the issue.
=======================
HOW IT WORKS:
DOWNLOADS
- The PDF file has to be DOWNLOADED to your COMPUTER (Etsy APP won't work).
- There are ALWAYS at least THREE pdf-files to download:
*A4/US-Letter.pdf - for an ordinary printer
*A0/Plotter.pdf - for printing at services
*cut-sew-instr.pdf - to be printed with an ordinary printer and used as an addition to big-format files
PRINTING
- Whatever size you need will come out 100% accurate scale. However, please start by reading the INSTRUCTIONS on your screen.
- For HOME PRINTERS, the pdf patterns are split into rectangular segments to fit A4 or US-letter paper. You would have to tile and glue or tape them (piece them together) afterwards. Tiling a printed A4/US-Letter pdf pattern is no different from assembling a kids' jigsaw - follow the overview picture attached to the pattern.
- PRINTER-SHOP-format (A0/Plotter) pdf files would be printed on one piece of paper, therefore NO TILING is involved.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Patterns for A4/US-Letter with individually layered sizes include the instructions as starting pages of the file (usually pages 1 to 5).
- Individual instruction files among the downloads usually are meant to be used with the plotter-format pattern files.
==============================
Most of my patterns have sizes built on individually printable layers (you can choose and print one size at a time). Any software that is capable of splitting a PDF file into separate layers could be used.
However, ADOBE READER IS the FREE global standard for reliably viewing, printing, and more on PDF documents. If you do not have it yet, follow the link to download it:

=======
MC2patterns Competitive Advantages:
1. Smart pattern design.
2. Individually printable sizes.
3. Optimal layout for printing to minimise joints within each pattern piece.
4. An easy approach to sewing.
=======
PLEASE NOTE:
- Due to the digital nature, mc2patterns may not be returned/refunded or exchanged.
- mc2patterns may not be resold further as a pattern product unless there is a signed agreement with MC2patterns.
- However, you are welcome to use mc2patterns in your sewing production.

4 out of 5 starsLove this pattern. I'm truly a beginner and I was able to do it. The only critique is that the pockets aren't really functional. It's a nice touch and try, but I feel like they wouldn't hold anything
