Pattern sizing
This pattern comes in sizes 0-38 and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that below.
Printing the pattern
When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.
Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.
This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.
You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
If you need guidance on how to print your pattern check out the tutorial below.
Materials Required:
Sizes 0-18 fit on 3/4 yard of 44" fabric
Sizes 20-30 fit on 3/4 yard of 54" fabric
Sizes 32-34 fit on 3/4 yard of 58" fabric
Sizes 36-38 fit on 1 yard of 62" fabric
You have 2 choices to use narrower fabric:
1) Get twice as much fabric and stitch
it together to make a wider piece. Hide the
seam by placing it in a pleat underlay.
2) Cut cross-grain on 28" fabric. For that,
sizes 0-12 take 1 yard, 14-22 take 1 1/4,
and sizes 24-28 take 1 1/2.
For the yoke:
You’ll need this much for self and lining:
Sizes 0-12: 1/3 yard of 44" fabric
Sizes 14-26: 1/3 yard of 58" fabric
or 3/4 yard of 44" fabric
Sizes 28-38: 3/4 yard of 44" fabric
For the flat panels (this covers both of them):
Sizes 0-24: 3/4 yard of 44" fabric
Sizes 26-38: 3/4 yard of 53" fabric
or 1 1/2 yards of 44" fabric
If you’re lining the panels, you’ll need just as much lining fabric as self fabric. Cut the lining panels 2" shorter (where the notches near the hem are).
Seam Allowances
1/2” everywhere
