1. Cut along the black border to remove the margins.
2. Lay out the pages according to the gray numbers where 1A, 2A, 3A,... are side by side in a row and 1B, 2B, 3B,... are side by side in a row right beneath your row of “A” pages and so on. The little gray triangles on the edges are there to help you align the pages. (Use the pattern layout to check your work and see how the pattern will look all put together.)
3. Tape together the pages.
4. Cut out all the pattern pieces along the colored line of your chosen size.
Seam allowances are always included on our pattern so no need to add anything to your pattern pieces. The instructions will guide you through the different seam allowances as you sew.
]]>1. Open your pattern in Adobe Acrobat. If you don’t have Acrobat you can download it for free off adobe’s website here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=TTGWL47M
2. Click the layers icon.
3. Deselect all sizes except your size and the text layer.
4. Hit Print and you’re done!
Don’t forget to measure the test square to double check if it printed correctly! They are on the first pattern page.

Different programs have slightly different printer settings. If you see these options in your settings, here’s what you should do:
Actual Size should be selected
or
Scaling should be set to 100%
Fit to Page or Scale to Fit should be unselected
Orientation should be set to Auto or Portrait
]]>Then you just cut out the pattern pieces like a traditional paper sewing pattern. But maybe you don’t have a great copy shop in your town? Maybe they way overcharge for A0 size prints! Here’s some resources for different companies that will print the copy shop files of your favorite patterns and ship it right to your door! Convenient!

How do I download my order? (for purchase made on Etsy)
You should receive an email from Etsy with a link to download your order as soon as your order is processed (usually a couple of minutes). If you can't find your download email, you'll have to download your pattern from your "purchases" page. You can get there by looking at the top right corner of Etsy (on desktop or on the mobile site, not the app) select the little profile pic icon and then select purchases. Then just find your order and select download.
Still having trouble? Find Etsy’s guide on downloading PDFs from their website here.
Do your patterns have layers/ copy shop files/ projector files?
Only my more recently released patterns have these features. I’m currently working on adding these features to my older patterns. For now, here are links to which patterns include which features. >
Layers + Copy Shop + Projector
Where do you get your fabrics?
Blackbird fabrics, Harts Fabrics, Oak Fabrics, We are the Fabric Store, and Spoonflower are some of my favorites!
(Note that I have done collabs with Spoonflower in the past. I’ve been using their fabrics since long before we worked together so I honestly just love their fabric!)
Can I sell items made with your sewing patterns?
I love to see handmade businesses use my patterns for their work! My policy is that if you are a small handmade brand you may use my patterns to make garments and sell them as long as >
Mass production using Oh Me Oh My patterns is prohibited.
Do you have any videos?
I don’t have any video tutorials at this time. I may be giving videos a try in the near(ish) future. It’s not really within my skill set but we’ll see how it goes! When it happens I’ll be sure to announce it on my social media + newsletter.
