- If you are trying to learn how to sew, chances are you have discovered PDF Sewing Patterns! PDF Sewing Patterns are a wonderful invention, as they let us get new patterns from the comfort of our own home, and digital patterns make it much easier for designers to offer free sewing patterns.
In this video, I will teach you how to print pdf sewing patterns, how to assemble pdf patterns, and finally the easiest ways to cut out pdf patterns. I might be bias, but I think this is the best way to assemble pdf patterns, as it is quick and easy, and require less tools, so there is less fumbling around. It is also easy to correct any mistakes you might make while assembling.

Today was the first time I ever downloaded a pattern (30 pages) and had no idea what to do next! The instructions are clear about how to sew the pattern but nothing on how to put the PDF pattern pieces together! Thank you so much!
It’s really a handy way to buy patterns, but it definitely adds a whole other step to sewing!
Same! 45 pages and overwhelmed -- until I watched this. So incredibly helpful!
I've been avoiding using PDF patterns because I'm so ised to the old shop bought ones. But after watching this video, I feel perfectly prepared to get started. So glad I found you. Thank you so much 😊
Me too I was so scared to even try but today I have been following along and have my pdf downloaded and ready to go.
Perfect! Now I know what to do with all those papers shooting out of my printer!
Ah ha, yeah the first big pattern I printed out I was terrified how I was going to assemble 50 pages!
Great video! With the cost of patterns ($19.99) this saves a lot of money. I remember when patterns were 75 cents! Been seeing since 1967 🤗🌷
This folding technique is a game changer thank you! I also saw another RUclipsr, where to cut the perfect size pattern, measure yourself and "trace" or "add" where you'd need to adjust (you may have a medium size waist, but your hips may be a large size, for instance), so after you finish sewing your piece, it fits correctly. A lot of times we tend to just cut the size because we are small, medium, etc. size, but when you finish it doesn't fit in certain areas. Most of us are not an exact size, so this is an adjustment to think about before we cut the final piece of the pattern. I am tall legged, so most patterns I must add a few inches; I normally wear a 34" inseam length, especially if it is dress pants and wear high heels! And I also loved the way to store these types of patterns, G-E-N-I-U-S!!! I've seen these actually at Dollar Tree! ;-)
The folding tip is genius, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank yoU!
This is really helpful as I'm just starting with PDF patterns! Thank you. The one thing I discovered that made my life easier was that I got a weighted tape dispenser at Staples, the kind that just uses the tape rolls like you would see in a office, for 10 bucks. for me, I found it to be easier to pull off the tape needed instead of fiddling with a little plastic tape dispensers. Added bonus, the weighted dispenser helps keep my patterns in place while I tape them!
That is such a great tip! Definitely going to pick one up (plus with holiday wrapping to do I think it will come in handy!)
I was at a lost. I was racking my brain on why my sewing pattern was not printing at the correct size. I measured everything correctly on Adobe but for the life of me could not get it to print the correct size. But when I saw your video, you stated some printers would need to be changed on the advanced. I did that and it worked. My sewing pattern is now at the correct size when printed. I am so glad I found your video, it helped me out tremendously. Thank you for all of your tips to help us out here.
This was very helpful! I'm brand new to sewing and just learned what a pattern even was. Thankyou!
Thank you for helping! I just got my first PDF pattern and feel a little more confident since watching your video.
Excellent. Really clear and precise tutorial, the best I have found on using a PDF pattern as a novice. Thanks.
Omg thank you. I stupidly never watched a video of how to do this and winged it. Later to find out I sewed a messy shirt. Now I'm so excited to make a new one, correctly using this method!
This is so helpful!! The Bo top is my first wearable sewing project and I was trying to figure out how I get from printer to pattern- this was exactly what I needed! Thank you for making such a thorough tutorial.
Awesome video! This has been a real block for me in using downloadable patterns, so thanks for making this! I'm excited to try your tips
I’m so happy it was helpful! It was a block for me too when I started, but so many great patterns are PDF only or hard to get in physical form (especially now!)
Just got my first printout patterns, for a sundress and some wide leg shorts. Thank you so much for this!
Great info. Thank you! I just downloaded some free patterns from Mood and I'm excited to try it!
Thank you so much for the fold tip! I have trouble but straight so assembling patterns are daunting!
Great video Jordan. Love the little chubby hand trying to steal your tape. ❤
Yes, I always have to share my tape ;)
Thank you so much for this valuable lesson for this beginner 😊👍🏾🖤
Thank you so mush I been straggling alot with assembling my patterns , your video is so helpful 🥹💜
Thank you so much! I purchased my first PDF pattern in June 2023. I could not begin how to download it for printing. This video was so helpful. 😀
Perfect I was scared to order a printable , now i am more confident after watching your video
New intro looks great and the editing is super! Also shook you can print off patterns haha! ❤❤❤
Yeah, who made that amazing intro graphic anyways ;)
This was super helpful for me. I have just ordered PDF pattern to make a custom Dress Form for myself. Whilst I have been given instructions on how to print the pattern at home, I haven't been given anything on how to assemble the print outs.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Your tips were VERY helpful! Thank you!
Extremely helpful tutorial. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you very much
Really love your suggestions and the different options you give to do the same thing 👏🏿💯
Thank you so much for this. It really helps a lot. My next project is going to be the Bo Sewalong with you!
Awsome! I wasn't sure I was doing it correctly, but now I know I am! Yay! Loved your intro clip too!
It really opens up a whole new world of sewing! So many new pattern options!
Thanks! This was really helpful, its my first time sewing a pattern from internet and i was completely lost
just about to start your jumpsuit pattern, thanks for all the info, its my first downloadable pattern so wish me luck!
This tutorial is amazing and helpful. Thank you so much love 💕✨
Yay! I’m so happy it was helpful for you!
Great tips! Thank you.
Very clear and helpful. Thank you for all the details😊
So happy it was helpful! Hope it inspired you to create something beautiful
Thanks for the tips! Im about to try to print my very first PDF pattern😃
I love this folding method as I am horrible in cutting and I have given up on pdf patterns and the said thing I have more than a couple of pdf patterns that I have purchased, thank you so much...
Ntsiki
So happy this was helpful to you, Nikki!
This was sooo helpful. I thank you very much.
Love this technique thank you so much 😁
You are amazing! What a terrific channel!
Thank you so much. Happy New Year 🎉🎉💐
So informative! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the idea! I also love sewing. 😉
Hi Jordan, just discovered you :) Thanks for this video as have never downloaded a pattern let alone stick one together lol, Great tips for storing the pattern pieces too x x
Thank you so much for the video.
Excellent, informative video as I am new to sewing and using PDF patterns. Thanks so very much!
Glad it was helpful! It was definitely one of the Ross-blocks for me when I first started sewing!
Very helpful. Thank you
loving your videos, very helpful :)
Thanks so much Alisa! Glad you found it helpful!
Love this so much, thanks!
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much this was so helpful
You are appreciated!
Excellent Video!!
Thank you that was very informative. 😃
Amazing ... Thank You
Great video, thank you
Thanks so much! My first PDF project is going to be Josh from Seamwork, which look very like the trousers you wear in this video!
Oh my gosh, this was so helpful! I have about 6 patterns downloaded, 1 printed out and then... That's where it all came to an end. I have used envelope patterns or made them up on my own. This was so foreign and intimidating for me, so I basically gave up. That's not true to my nature, but technology has not been something I'm good at. I would blame my age, but I was just stubborn about it and then became overwhelmed.
You just made this so comfortable for me and I feel really confident about giving it a try. I have a question about copying the pattern, prior to cutting it out. Hopefully this makes sense- I normally copy my tissue pattern and then fold it up and return to envelope. I do this so that I always have the range of sizes. Do you think that's a possibility with printed pdf ones?
Thank you for explaining this in such a wonderful way.
With joy,
Audri
Thanks so much!!!
Exactly the video I needed
I’m so happy it was helpful for you!
Extremely helpful! ❤
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
Thanks a bunch!
Very helpful video! New subscriber. I will follow along your journey! 😊
Thanks so much Heide!
Thank you so very very much.
Phenomenal!!!!
Yay 😂someone who explained it in simple terms. Thank you from a beginner pdf user.
This is so helpful. Of course I'm jumping straight in with my first project. I'm making a cosplay from scratch. Nearly 400 pages!
Great video thank you
Thank you!
Thank you!!!😭
I appreciate your video! I used to sew years ago and just started up again so I find it helpful for a refresher course! I also liked the tips you threw in.
Question….what if you want to use the same pattern in a different size? Would you trace the pattern or print out another pattern?
If I am doing multiple sizes (usually for my kids’ clothes or a toile if I’m unsure what size to make) then I transfer onto other paper. I do the same if I’m sewing from a printed pattern I’ve purchased. Thanks for your question and for watching :)
thank you❤
Thank you for watching Amel!
ive taught myself how to sew for the most part, being a dancer, but now i am hoping to get back in the swing of sewing and making a dress for an upcoming ball!
Just bought a new laser printer so this will be perfect to put it to use 😊
Yes! So much faster to print them that way!
thanks
Im going to make a hat for my cat! Your tutorial was so helpful thank you!
You're so welcome!
Have you tried using a scotch pop-up tape dispenser that has a handband?
I use mine for gift wrapping packages but it seems like you'd benefit form having one.
It has pre-cut tape strips in a convientant dispenser.
Thank you for your videos. What pattern did you use for the shorts you’re wearing in this video? I have been looking for a pattern like those
Thank you for the video! Waiting for more beginner-friendly tips like this! One questions because l'm still not sure - does this pdf patterns have a room left for a seam? Can I just cut the lines according to the pattern size guide and not worry about the seam allowance?
Hi! Yes this pattern includes seam allowance, most do, but it will tell you either way. Some parts of the pattern may have more or less seam allowance, but they will let you know in the directions.
Thanks for this. You've made the whole process much clearer.
(Now all I need to do is fine the space to be able to pay everything out!)
Omg we need these shorts! Did you make these?
These are the Fremantle pants! Pattern by Elba Textiles, but with various hacks! Shorts tutorial coming soon!
Thank you thank you!!
Hey girl! I have a question! So i printed my 1st pattern, I printed and measured the little square on the 1st page before i printed the whole pattern. The 4x4 was correct so i proceeded to print the whole pattern. When i got gome to assemble the pattern like you did, some of the pages did not match! Im not sure what i did wong, this is my 1st pattern i have ever printed on my own! 😣😣 do you have any idea what I did? Or if i can still use what i have? Anyone!? TIA 🙂
What if the 2”square comes out wrong…😩
Hi! Could you make a video about how to cut the fabric? I think some times it is kinda tricky when you are a beginner :c
That’s a great idea! Are you wondering about tools? Grainline? Attaching the pattern to the fabric itself?
@@_commonthread Attaching the pattern to the fabric... Big mistakes happen in this step haha 😅
I love you videos, you explain very well, I'm spanish and i understand you perfectly. You have istagram? I don't found it on the description. Thanks😍
Do you have to reprint for the different sizes?
HI Jordan, What if the pattern doesn't have the little triangles or notches to match up. Only straight lines.
this video was quiet helpful but im struggling at the moment with this underwear patteren. it has one page but the pattern does not come out fully on one page
Is the cut line the seam allowance line?
thank you super helpful! hopefully, i do it correctly :)
i have a pattern from seam works for a Bumbastic fanny /bum bag...i didnt realize how big it is going to be..
is there a way to make the pattern smaller so the bag is not so large and keep all pattern pieces able to work
new to PDF patterns ,
any help would be appreciated
What version of Adobe are you using in this video
At first, I was like, "wth is she doing?" Then I was like..."Ohhhhh! I'm the dumb one." 🤪
hi thank you for that! I was very confused on why it looked like that. Why wasn't there a number 6? lol
It was one of the pages of the “grid” but it didn’t have any of the actual pattern on it so I didn’t both adding it.
hello! im confused about the key part. is that for sizes? if so, what is the equivalent and is it a format for all of sewing?
Do you mean the key printed on your pattern? That should have the different line styles for each size. Unfortunately there’s very little regulation around sizing though so it varies from company to company.
What about the number 1 & 6?
I have a probably dumb question. Lol. If you I going to make multiple of the same item but in different sizes, I would need to print and cut for each size, right? So three separate patters printed out. Thank you
Not a dumb question at all! I have had to do the same when making multiple sizes of the same item for my kids. What I do is assemble one pattern, and then use tracing paper, or tissue paper from the dollar store works too, to trace over the separate sizes. If I plan on using more sizes eventually, I’ll keep the big master pattern in tact and just create patterns of each individual size using the tracing paper.
Does that make sense?
hi. where is the pattern link?
I do not feel secure about PDF because the numbers do not follow exactly like for that pattern for the piece you began with,you have numbers 1 to 5 and 7to 10. How come we do not see number 6 for the same piece ? The number 6 must be for another piece but how am I supposed to know that ?
What printer paper did you use for printing it out?
I use an ancient brother printer, I don’t think they make it anymore!
Where are the free patterns she mentioned.?
What seam allowance do you use? European pattern have smaller seam allowances.
I use whatever the pattern calls for, but usually 3/8 of an inch :)
