Our digital pattern and tutorial files are formatted as PDFs. Use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to open and print the file. If you don’t already have it, you can download the updated version here. http://get.adobe.com/reader/
All patterns are full-scale with all sizes included. Each download pattern includes two PDF copy shop pattern files, one is for U.S. copy shops, and the other is A0 size for international printing. The files will include either "U.S. Copy Shop" or "A0 international" in their titles.
Our copy shop PDF patterns include the full pattern, which will be printed full size with no assembly required. The patterns can be printed at any local printer that has either a 36" wide printer (in the U.S.) or an A0 printer (international). In the U.S., businesses like Kinkos or Office Depot have this size printer.
Sewing Workshop Printing Service
Introducing in-house digital pattern printing with The Sewing Workshop!
Great news! Now you can print your Sewing Workshop digital patterns directly from the Sewing Workshop office. This is a great option for our digital patterns that you would prefer not to print at home or outsource to an alternate service.
When you are ordering a PDF pattern, you will see a section to the right called Printing Options. Here, you can choose to add the printed pattern. Below, you can see the Charlie Bomber PDF product, with the arrow pointing out the Printing Options. Please note: If the pattern is also available in printed form, it does not have the "add print" option. It will have a link to the printed pattern in the description.
