- In the past, some buyers have misunderstood that these are paper patterns, and have waited an unnecessarily long time for something to be delivered to them in the post before contacting me. These are pdf patterns which will come to you INSTANTLY as a download-able ELECTRONIC document that you will print out yourself.
- You will need the appropriate software and hardware to download and read them: Adobe Reader (or Preview on the iMac) or similar, as well as a printer to print out the templates and individual instructional pages, if desired. Download Adobe for free here.
- Very detailed instructions and color photographs are included in all my patterns, so that you can learn new techniques even while working to finish the project. In spite of this, I would recommend that you possess at least intermediate sewing skills for most of these projects, unless it is otherwise stated on the pattern cover. I have included a brief summary of the specific skills needed in order to be comfortable working with each pattern.

- Sometimes, even after several rounds of testing and editing, minor errors are found in my patterns. I correct them and replace the pattern file so that to the best of my knowledge, the version you purchase is the one most recently-edited. You can find a list of errata here.
