How to work with PDF patterns

By Christine Miller

At Sōm we are offering PDF patterns. You will receive the pattern in your inbox shortly after purchasing and can begin right away. Download your pattern and store the pattern file locally on your computer. I recommend, you create a folder for sewing patterns so you always know where to find them. The download is yours to keep. You can always print a new copy or a new size. If you print via Adobe Reader you can separate the sizes and only print the size you need which is a huge advantage with the digital patterns.

Each pattern comes with an illustrated in-depth sewing manual. We recommended, you access the sewing manual digitally - in order to save paper.

Process kids’ patterns

As kids grow, and to get the most out of your pattern, you might want to sew more than one size at some point. We recommend, you print all sizes at once and copy each size to large scale paper.

We encourage discipline working with our pattern. Take the extra time to copy onto large scale paper, mark your patterns clearly with model name and size and store them in plastic pockets. In my experience, a sewing project is easier is embark on with a well-cared-for sewing pattern right at hand.

Keep in mind - the file is personal and cannot be shared with friends and family.
