Your fabric should have at least 20% stretch, which you can calculate following the steps below:
IMPERIAL :
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold fabric with your left fingers at 0″, right fingers at 5″.
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you’ve stretched the fabric.
Calculate “stretched measurement” minus 5; divide number by 5 and multiply by 100
e.g. stretch from 5″ to 7″:
7-5=2
2/5=0.4
0.4 x 100 = 40%
METRIC:
Take a ruler/measuring tape and lay your fabric beside it. Hold the fabric with your left fingers at 0 cm, right fingers at 10 cm.
Stretch until you feel resistance and look at how far you’ve stretched the fabric.
Stretch up to 16 cm –> 60% stretch, stretch up to 12 cm –> 20% stretch.
COMMON STRETCH PERCENTAGES:
5″ to 5 1/2″ = 10%
5″ to 6″ = 20%
5″ to 7″ = 40%
5″ to 8″ = 60%
All files are layered, allowing you to select which size(s) you want to print. The A0 file is also suitable for sewing with a projector!
(The size chart and pattern sizing may be updated from time to time. If you have previously bought this pattern, make sure to check the instructions for the sizes of your pattern.)
Even though all patterns are made according to the sizes in the sizing chart, you should always check the sizes by measuring the paper pattern before cutting out your pieces.
As for any sewing pattern, consider making a mock-up when possible. Don’t hesitate to message me should you feel like something isn’t quite right!
To make the pattern as customizable as possible, this pattern does not yet include seam allowance. While instructions on the recommended seam allowance are included, please don’t hesitate to ask me to draft the pattern with seam allowance included for you! (Should a piece already include seam allowance, this will be mentioned in the pattern instructions and on the pattern sheet.)
If you need a different size, send me a message with your bust, waist and hip measurements.
Occasionally, I will need more measurements to alter the pattern, and I will send you a message indicating what measurements I need.
Custom size patterns will only be made once I have all the measurements required.
Please keep in mind that you will NOT receive a physical garment or pattern.
This listing is for a printable Long Sleeve Bolero Top sewing pattern to make the garment yourself.
