FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

The Pleat back shirt dress is perfect for COTTON POPLIN.
We also recommend silk satin (that presses well into a pleat).

Other light to mid weight WOVEN FABRIC such as cotton broadcloth and linen also work well.

DIFFICULTY

 INTERMEDIATE

TUTORIALS

Video tutorial support on how to attach the yoke using the Burrito method, how to complete a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA), adding snap fasteners.

Please refer "Size & FItting" tab for more info on bust fit.

 

SIZE & FITTING

Size bundles are offered in packs of 4 to minimise printing where possible yet still offer options for grading between sizes.

Small - (NZ/AU/UK 6-8-10-12  | US 2-4-6-8)                    
Medium - (NZ/AU/UK 10-12-14-16  | US 6-8-10-12)       
Large - (NZ/AU/UK 14-16-18-20  | US 10-12-14-16)        
X-Large - (NZ/AU/UK 18-20-22-24  | US 14-16-18-20)    

Designed for a "C" cup there is a VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to complete an easy FBA (Full bust adjustment) for larger busts (which is much easier than you think)! Refer the finished bust measures compared with your own chest measures. There should be at least 8cm ease (extra in the finished measures) for a comfortable fit.

MIX & MATCH

This pattern is compatible with the D-I-Y (Design-It-Yourself) range of sleeve extensions.
Upgrade your pattern by adding new sleeves for a different look at minimal cost.

WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

4. Video tutorial support for completing a professional yoke finish, adjusting fit around your bust (FBA) and adding snap fasteners.

My puppy's favorite toy
Color: Blue
I have an 9 month old lab. He LOVES these!! By far one of his favorite toys! Since he is a puppy they do not last crazy long. Usually a few weeks, but well worth it. They keep him occupied.. and gives me a 20+ min of fee time!!

Best toy ever
Color: Blue&Purple, Color: Blue&Purple
I have been through many many toys with my 4yo GWP. And she is not gentle with her toys. Normally a plush toy will last about a week before all stuffing is brutally removed and the squeaker is so worn out it resembles a limp noodle. Somehow, this toy has survived the last 3 months- squeaker still squeaking, no holes in the fabric, better yet there’s not stuffing to litter all over my floor for the vacuum to get stuck on! She loves this thing, she flings it around, tugs on it, catches it midair, loses it and finds it. Honestly 10/10. I wish I could buy stock in this toy.

Awesome toys my boys love!
Color: Blue&Purple
These are such a great value and my little dogs ADORE them! So far they aren’t chewed up, and they are super cute! They definitely love playing with them and I appreciate there not being stuffing all over. They love the crinkly legs and squeaker in the head.

GREAT TOYS FOR BIRDING DOGS.
Color: Blue&Purple&Orange
I would purchase these again!! These have lasted for the past four years with four dogs. My dogs love carrying these around and tossing them into the air. I have Vizslas, they are not heavy chewers, but love carrying toys in their mouths.
