HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUR SEWING PATTERNS TO YOUR COMPUTER:
To use the layers function in Adobe Reader, patterns are best downloaded to a desktop or laptop computer. If that is not available to you, some of our customers recommend the Xodo & Sewsy apps for mobile devices.
We recommend reading the tutorial on a device, rather than printing it. You can read your tutorial on your computer, phone or tablet.
1. Select 'Download My Patterns' from the menu.
2. If you're not signed in already, it will prompt you to do so.
This takes you to your account page, showing your order history.
3. Select the big pink button at the top that says ‘Enter Your Pattern Library Here'.
This sends you to your personal Pattern Library - showing all the patterns that you own.
4. Click on the pattern/style you want to download.
5. Then click on the file (or files) you wish to download.
They will generally download to the Downloads folder on your computer.
PATTERN FORMATS AVAILABLE.
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.
HOW TO PRINT YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.
1. Open In Adobe Reader. To use the layers function in a PDF pattern, open the pattern in Adobe Reader on a laptop or desktop computer. Visit our Help & Resources index for more information on layers.
This function isn't available on the phone or tablet version. As such, some customers recommend the Xodo & Sewsy apps for layers functionality on a mobile device.
We recommend reading the tutorial off a device, rather than printing it. You can download & read your tutorial on any device.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).
5. 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.
In the United States, our customers recommend PDF Plotting. In the United Kingdom, our customers recommend Fabulosew & Patternsy.

I made it this morning and wore it out to the grocery store this afternoon. I think it took me 30 minutes to make…,maybe an hour because I also printed out the pattern. Ready to make more…fabric shopping now 🤣 if you want something quick….this is fast. I’ll post pictures soon
Love this versatile, comfy cardi. Casual chic, love the cocoon shape so much! I made the knee lenght version, in a dark navy cotton interlock, and it turned out exactly how I wanted. I wear it to office, and got compliments on it. Planning to make a shorter one too
This pattern was so fast & easy. I love that way it drapes in the sweater knit I chose. Will definitely be making more. Thanks PE.
This seems like too much work to simply get a pattern. I’m sorry I ordered. I probably will not be ordering more patterns.
Hi Teresa. I understand that transitioning to PDF patterns can feel like a big adjustment if it’s your first time. It’s a shame we’ve caught the brunt of your frustration with the process because we’d really love for you to experience how rewarding it can be. If you’d like guidance on how to get started, please reach out—we’re here to help!
I’m still amazed at how clever this pattern is. The only problem is that everyone wants me to sew it now. :-) It is such an easy sew and really feels like an embrace. I have many more to come. Thank you for a great pattern.
Hi Yaron. Thank you for your lovely review! It’s always a compliment when everyone wants one too—that’s when you know you’ve made something special. Enjoy sewing your next My Embrace Cardis, and happy sewing! Kate
