FAQ

Here are the questions I hear most. Can't find yours? Just message me. I usually reply within hours.

What do I get when I buy a pattern?

A digital PDF pattern with these files:

  • 01-SEWING-GUIDE: my illustrated step-by-step guide
  • 02-HOME-PRINT-A4-US-LETTER: print at home
  • 03-PRINT-SHOP-A0: for a print shop, no taping
  • 04-PROJECTOR: project onto your fabric
  • Plus your START-HERE guide with a free gift

Nothing physical is shipped.

I've never sewn anything like this. Can I really make it?

Yes, you can make this! Every step is illustrated, with my tips for a clean, professional finish, so it looks handmade, not homemade.

Stuck? Send me the step and a photo. I'm with you from choosing fabric to the last stitch.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your child (or yourself) and pick your size by measurements from the size chart. You'll find it in "1. Understand sizing and fit" in your sewing guide.

How do I print my pattern?

At home: print the A4 / US Letter file on regular paper.

Print shop: send the A0 file, no taping.

Projector: project the projector file straight onto your fabric.

My Help page shows each step.

What fabric should I use?

Each pattern lists the fabrics that work best. Start with what you have. Simple, affordable fabric can make the most beautiful dress.

My guide is in English. Can I read it in my language?
How do I get my files, or find them again?

Right after you pay, I email you a button to My Pattern Library. Can't find the email? No problem:

  1. Open My Pattern Library (or My Library at the top of the page).
  2. Type your checkout email.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code I email you (check Promotions or Junk).
  4. Tap Choose files, or Download all (ZIP).

Start with START-HERE. Still stuck? Message me with your order email.

What will I see on my bank statement?

The charge shows as LITELIER, often written as PADDLE.NET* LITELIER. Paddle is my trusted payment partner: it handles checkout, payment and sales tax for me, so your payment is safe.

Why does my receipt say Paddle?

Paddle is my payment partner: it handles payments and sales tax safely for me. Your patterns are waiting in My Pattern Library.

Can I sell what I make?

Yes! You can sell up to 100 finished pieces per pattern each year, sewn by you or your own small home business. The files themselves can't be shared or resold. See the pattern license.

Teaching a class? Every student needs their own copy. Message me for a class price.

Do I get anything extra?

Yes! Your START-HERE guide has a link to my Kids PJ Pants pattern + my sewing guide (Journey to Sewing Mastery), free.
