What Is It?

New designers are increasingly releasing their new designs as PDF only, which means you cannot purchase them ready printed like a traditional tissue pattern. Printing A4 at home can be time consuming, printing lots of pages, trimming the edges, sticking them all together whilst making sure the scaling is correct, which can reduces your sewing time.
 
Designers also provide their designs in an A0 copy shop format, and can be printed on a large format printer, like an architect would use to print plans. 
 
AO patterns will be printed in colour or black and white onto 80gsm paper. The paper can be cut, used with pins or pattern weights, or if you prefer traced, and it is durable to be used time and time again.
 
Instructions are not printed, many people prefer to view instructions on a tablet or laptop screen and they can be easily printed at home as they are A4 format.
 
How To:
