PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.
At Pattern Emporium, most of our patterns include Print-at-Home, A0 Copy Shop, and Projector pattern files. Each listing specifies which formats are available for that particular pattern.
In each of our sewing pattern tutorials, you’ll find detailed information specific to that pattern's printing options.
1. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.
2. Page Printing Guide. You don’t need to print every page or size – just the ones you need. Our guide in the tutorial helps you identify exactly which pages to print.
3. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).
4. A0 Copy Shop Printing. What to ask for when printing at a copy shop. We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined above. Please note, printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.
For reliable A0 printing in Australia, we recommend Kristen at Dahlia Sewciety & Shelley at Plan Make Do.

I made the dress with the flounce sleeves from the Besties Tee. A perfect combination in every way. I love wearing it and loads of people stop to give my compliments on what I am wearing. Have already made a second with a scoop neck and 3/4 sleeves.
I love the pattern but have not had a chance to sew it out. I have been very busy redesigning my sewing studio and remodeling my home.
This is a nice easy pattern and as always the instructions are great. I have only made this once so far. What I found is that it feels a little snug under the arms even though I made the correct size for me (size 12). This could be because I used a fabric without a lot of stretch. Next time I am going to size up a bit and see if that helps. It could also be because I don't like clothes to fit too snugly. Apart from that, the pattern is great and fun to make.
Hi Kate,
Yes, this pattern definitely needs the recommended 4-way stretch fabrics (see page 6). Low stretch would absolutely make it quite snug & a little uncomfortable.
I made the dress out of french terry. I chose to bind the neckline and the sleeves (3/4) using a woven bias. I did make a mistake on the arms in that I incorrectly used 1/2 seam (read instructions!) v. 1/4" serged seam. I recut a second dress and sewed that correctly, and the arms were perfect. This is a fantastic dress for beginners or those who have let their garment skills go dormant to have a low stress re-entry into garment sewing.
I made this top in a long tshirt length using a very soft viscose jersey. Beautiful. Worn quite fitted around the shoulders and sleeves and skims over the bust and drapes to the hips. As quite a pear, i expected this top to accentuate my hips and loose the shape of my waist. Quite the opposite. The style of this top is very flattering. Lovely pattern and excellent instructions.
