How to Assemble Print at Home Patterns
Assembling your print at home pattern is very simple. All of our patterns come with a layered Print at Home PDF and a layered Copy Shop/A0 PDF. Layered simply means that you can view and print each size or layer at a time. This way you can print only your size if that works best for you. The PDF can also be printed with all sizes as well.
Step 1
Print your PDF centered on the page at 100% scale.
Step 2
Measure the 1" or 2 cm box to ensure that your scale is correct. If these boxes are measuring correctly then the rest of your pattern will be to scale.
Step 3
Trim off the right and bottom sides of the paper at the outlined box.
Step 4
Match up the circled letters at the corners of each page.
Overlap the left page on top of the right page to cover the blank space outside of the outlined box and complete the circle with the matching letters. Tape together to secure.
Step 5
Continue taping and matching all of the pages in the row. Repeat these steps for the second row.
Match the second row to the first using the circled letters as a guide. Tape together to secure.
Step 6
Cut out the pattern pieces for your desired size!

I have downloaded my first two (free) patterns: the Craft Studio T and the All Day Culottes. Where do I find how much fabric I need to purchase please?

Hi Julia! You can find the fabric requirements chart in the Sewing Instructions for each of the patterns. Alternatively, the chart is also included on each product page for our patterns on the website. It is the last image after the model photos :)
Thank you, this is so helpful! When the pattern says Cut 2 (OPPOSITES), does that mean cut one with the printed side of the pattern up, then flip the pattern over and cut another piece (with the printed side of the pattern down)?

Hi Ray! Yes, that way you will end up with two pieces that are mirror images of each other when facing right side up.
Hi!! I was wondering if the patterns include the seam allowance or you have to mark it before cutting? I was looking for the info on my pdf and the website but I couldn’t find anything about it, I’m sorry if I missed it if it was already stated

Hi Criiz! No worries! Yes, all of our patterns include the seam allowance. You can find that info in the “Before You Start” section of the Sewing Instructions on the pattern!
Thanks for Kacey for the tip on printing from Edge instead of Chrome! That solved the problem I was having.

Yay, so glad you were able to get started!
I’ve printed the colour lock set and it doesn’t appear to have the bottom panels, the arm cuff and the neckpiece that the projector copy has!

The instructions include a cutting chart for all the rectangle pieces to reduce printing waste!
