PRINTING INFORMATION

The pattern will print 20 pages.  This file has been tiled to 7.5 to 10 inches so it can be used by letter and A4 format paper.

Sometimes there are issues with the size of the pages so, please make sure:

  1.  The printing option on your printer shows ”Actual Size’ for the pages.
  2. Then, check that the 4” X 4”  or 10.1 X 10.1 cms square test is the right size.free sewing patterns free pdf sewing patterns free pdf patterns free pdf download patterns easy sewing patterns easy free sewing patterns easy sewing tutorials craftsy class review craftsy sewing class review patternmaker software tutorial pdf sewing patterns online sewing patterns summer sewing patterns winter sewing pattern easy winter sewing patterns easy sewing projects sewing girls patterns easy dress for girls patterns easy boys patterns women sewing patterns pdf dress pattern pdf top pattern pdf pants pattern free sewing patterns for pants free sewing patterns for dress free sewing projects

    I have not tried the pattern yet but shared the link with all my facebook friends, because off-the-shoulder dresses and tops are soooooo….. the trend this summer!! Thank you so much for all the effort and time you put it to make this free pattern available to us. We really appreciate it.

    Hi
    I am about to try the pattern now, but I’m a littl confused with the strap section. Your instructions read “1. Place the right sides of the strap to the right side of the bodice.” Should it not be the wrong side of the strap agaist the right side of the top?
