If you have the paper pattern, you’ll find it on the pattern sheet. If you have the digital version it’s located after the instructions and before the pattern pieces.

It’s very odd what shows (or doesn’t) in your screenshot. Here’s a screenshot of what I have when I open the file. Layers appear for me.

It could be that there is something corrupt in the file on your computer. You could try deleting it and downloading a new copy using the link in your sales receipt email.

Is just the name of the pattern showing up? If so, click on that and it will open to show the layers. If it’s not that, can you provide a screenshot? It seems very odd that you can’t access the layers. They are there….

It’s odd you don’t see layers. I just checked the file, and they appear without issue for me.

You did post correctly. But @lightningmcstitch is suggesting that you review past discussion threads for this pattern to see if someone has posted something about this already. You can find all the posts on that pattern with this link:

For the newer Liesl + Co. patterns, there is a printing guide on page 3 that tells you which pages are the A0 pages. You can upload the file and tell the printer to just print those pages. Or if you want to separate them out and send just the A0 pages instead of the whole file, you can use this free tool to do that.

The digital version of the pattern includes A0 pages which can also be used for a projector if you like.

No, seam allowances are included in all our patterns.

Bonnie, you can find the size chart on the page of the pattern you are interested in. About halfway down the page there is a series of tabs. One says “size chart”. Click on that and you’ll see the size chart for that particular pattern.

Since mention a baby size chart, I think you might be thinking about our Lullaby Layette pattern. You can find…[Read more]

Sarah, I looked into this and you are right. That’s a minor error in the instructions that was corrected in the second version of the pattern which was issued many years ago. It looks like you’re working from the first version which contained that error. The current version available (version 3) has the language has you suggestion.

View B uses a separate placket piece which is included with the pattern. View A is made using the self-fold method. So you can use either approach with this pattern.

There is a printing guide on page 3 that tells you which pages to print so that you can print only the A/B cup sizes for view A.

@Bonnie I found the hat was on the small side (or my babies have enormous heads) I would make one and see. You can always pop it away for a few months. They grow so fast.
Good luck.

Dawn, all seam allowances are 1/2″ on that pattern.

You need to choose a paper or digital pattern from the start. All our digital patterns have a title that begins with the word “digital”. If a pattern title does not begin with the word “digital” it is the paper version.

Oh, I see what you are saying now.

Yes, the center lines should match up on all pieces. The grain lines are just for indication of how to place the pattern piece on your fabric. They don’t need to match up exactly between pieces. As long as they are pointing in the same direction on both pieces (which they do) you’ll be fine.

It could be that the pieces have not been tiled together correctly. Can you upload photos?

It is very roomy @sewrosey61 as it fastens with a side button.
This lovely pattern is my go to as a teacher gift. My last version was sewn for a AUS size 20.
(My tip, attach the button with elastic so it has some ease)
Alternatively, I think you could make a wee tab that has buttons on each end.

Good luck!

Our PDF patterns are a little different than others in that you do not assemble a whole, large pattern sheet with all the pieces on it. Instead, you will be assembling the individual pieces one by one. (Why put them all together in a large sheet only to immediately cut them apart, right?) The tiled pieces do not fit together into a single sheet,…[Read more]

Nice! Can you make me one too????
