• PATTERNS

How are p&m patterns drafted and what do they include ?

You can find the answer here.

Are the seam allowance included ?

Seam allowances are included around all p&m pattern pieces. They are 1cm, unless otherwise specified in the instructions. Hems are also included and are 2cm or more. This value may fluctuate from one pattern piece to another on the same pattern, but it is always mentioned.

How is the pattern pieces layout ?

In order to have pattern pages clearer and easier to read, there is no overlapping of pattern pieces. You can then trace easily your pattern pieces.
