NEED SOME HELP?

A PDF sewing pattern is a downloadable file. It has the same content than a Paper sewing pattern. You always have on one hand the sewing instructions and on the other hand the pattern in the specified sizes. Both parts can be split into several files to make it easier for you. Some brands add on top of the sewing instructions and the pattern, a file to help you set up the print.

Remember you need for sure to print the pattern, but you can use your computer screen for reading the instructions. This way you use less paper, which is better for your budget and for the planet!

A few minutes after you have validated your cart and paid your order, you receive a confirmation email. In this email, you have links to download the PDF files you have just bought on Blanche Blanche. Click on the link and the download starts.

Once you have downloaded all the files, do save them on your computer. Downloads per PDF pattern is limited to 3 (this means you can download the files 3 times).

You can also access your files in your account space on Blanche Blanche.

Print at home: You have first to chose the right format (A4 or US letter) for your printer. Then you have to check the scale is correct. For that, you need to:

  • check your printer set up is on 100% scale, and that no margins are added by your system. Check as well you have the correct page set up (portrait mode).
  • then localize on the PDF file where the square or print test is. Print this page only and check the measurement on the printed test page is correct by measuring it with your cm or inches ruler. If correct, then, launch the printing of the full file, and if not, check the printing set up until it is correct.

Copyshop: In case the pattern is available in A0, you can go to a copyshop. This way you have your pattern printed in one or two pieces, which allow you to skip the reconstitution and taping step.

Here is the not-so-fun part of the PDF sewing pattern. But don’t panic, with some patience it goes well!

Principle of the reconstitution is quite simple: you need to assemble pages all together with the help of the page numeration. You have to cut 2 borders of your pages in order to tape the pages edge to edge. Be as much precise as you can here.

Once all pages are assembled, you just have to cut out your pattern following the selected size. As you can see, with PDF patterns you don’t need to trace your pattern (if you really like to trace, you can do it of course!!). In case you want to have another size later, you will just have to print again, assemble and cut out following the size you want.
