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

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Assembling PDF patterns in the forum sewing with oliver + s 8 months ago
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.

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Pattern pieces for front of jacket – Grainlines not matching. in the forum liesl + co: yanaka jacket 10 months ago
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?

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Assembling PDF patterns in the forum sewing with oliver + s 1 year ago
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]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic digital pattern scale in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 1 year ago
There are times when the calibration of a printer’s driver is just off by a bit. We’ve seen cases of this happening more than once.
If you want to double check the file vs. what the printer is saying about the size of the test square when printed, you can turn the rulers on in Adobe Reader to measure the size of the square within the software. I…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Digital Late Lunch Tunic – HELP! in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 1 year ago
Nothing is missing in the file. You just need to find all the pieces with the same letter-number combinations.
For piece 1, for example, there are four pieces with the letter-number combination 1A. These are spread across three pages: page 15, page 16 (which also includes a section of piece 8D at the bottom–trim the page between those two pieces…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Digital Late Lunch Tunic – HELP! in the forum liesl + co: late lunch tunic 1 year ago
For this pattern, you will be assembling the individual pattern pieces, not a giant pattern sheet. You can find instructions for how to tile the pieces together on page 15 of the PDF file. In short, you will trim the edges (the area outside the grid lines) from the pages. Then look for the letter-number combinations in the black circles in the…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Art Smock Sizing in the forum oliver + s: little things to sew 1 year ago
Because the pattern is for a smock that is meant to be very loose fitting and worn over clothes, sizing is much more forgiving. We have made this available only in Small, Medium, and Large sizes instead of in numbered sizing. We recommend using size Small for children between 6 months and 3 years. But to confirm the best sizing for your specific…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Test square 1/16” too small. iPad-iBooks and Adobe in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 1 year ago
I’m not sure what exactly might be the problem. You should be able to print with A4 without any problem.
I would suggest enabling the rulers in Adobe Reader to check and confirm that the test square is 1″. (It definitely should be….) Once you’ve confirmed that the file is accurate, you’ll know that it’s something in how your device is…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Help on size in the forum liesl + co: belgravia knit dress 2 years ago
@acs19 the charts do look a bit odd, but they are indeed correct. The two size ranges are built from completely separate blocks, and the patterns are quite different as a result. The expanded size range is much more curvy than the straight size range. If you fall into the sizes that overlap, you can choose which you think will best fit your shape.…[Read more]

Holly, there’s always the option of purchasing the digital version and having it printed large format and mailed. This company does that.

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Right Front in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 2 years ago
Short version of my long reply….
Use the instructions and pattern pieces that you have, and don’t worry if your instructions differ from what it says in the sew along.
(The pattern piece and the instructions go together. A minor change was made to both for a later printing, and that’s what’s reflected in the sew along. So don’t make any…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic Right Front in the forum liesl + co: classic shirt 2 years ago
Colleen, which printing of the the pattern do you have? You can tell by looking at the copyright box on both the pattern sheet and the instructions will tell you. Look for the smallest number you see there in the row of numbers. If the smallest number is 1, you have a copy from the first printing.
In the second printing, Liesl made a minor tweak…[Read more]

Todd Gibson replied to the topic hip size? in the forum oliver + s: nature walk 2 years ago
I believe it’s not just the negative ease of the fabric that drives the difference. The pants have an elastic waist, so the relaxed measurement includes the elastic at rest. The waist will expand significantly when worn due to the elastic and the knit fabric.
