Hello! The dress works great with knits, and I’ve seen lots of photos of it made with jersey, etc. I’ve even used sweatshirt fleece for it. If you check the Oliver + S Flickr group you’ll probably find lots of images, although I can’t comment on the weight of your fabric. You’ll have to be the judge of that one.

Hello all,

I would just like to submit a bit of information that has really helped me out with printing. A friend of mine told me about a program through HP that has changed the way I print! HP (Hewlett Packard) has printers that are set up to use a subscription service. The subscriptions are very affordable, $2.99/mo, $4.99/mo, and $9.99/mo. All…[Read more]

Oh, thank you! That is extremely helpful!

The last one or two pages will be set up to print the pattern on 36″ paper. The rest of the document will be set up to print the pattern on letter paper.
I print my patterns at home on A4 paper and stick them together.

Thank you for your reply. That is helpful. Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, but can you tell me how I can print the pdf to paper that’s 36 inches wide? Do I have to print it out on 8 1/2 x 11 paper first? This is really confusing to me. Thank you!

Good luck.

Hi. I just bought my first digital pattern, (as well as the material I would need at another store). Now, I find that OfficeMax, the only printers I can find, wants $26.22 to print only the pages I need from the pattern. 🙁 Now, I have material an a pattern that I can’t use. Does anyone have any suggestions? Printing it at home is not an option. Thanks!
