How to print & assemble
Print at 100% / Actual Size, with scaling turned off.
Print the first page only and check the 5 × 5 cm test square before printing the full pattern.
For A4/Letter files, trim the indicated edges and assemble the pages by matching the corresponding edges. You can also have the A0 file printed at a copy shop or online pattern-printing service.

Loved this pattern. The pocket pieces are genuis, the video instructions are so clear, and it was honestly a joy to sew.
Parfait 👍 je l‘ai decliné dans plusieurs matières et et elle rend toujours bien 👍
Un Must de mon armoire à présent 😍
This pattern is expertly designed and the instructions are very comprehensive. The companion instructional video was incredibly helpful too. I usually misread instructions and have to do a lot of “unsewing” on my projects, but the instructions and video avoided all of that. I couldn’t be happier with the end result!
this was a fun project and it looks so cool and it's functional!! I had some minor issues when sewing everything together:
1. the lining wasnt long enough after sewing together the three pieces. so I ended up having to improvise on the hems on the side. (Im not sure if it's because I cut out a wrong pattern piece, if the material shrunk or if the seam allowance stole some of the needed length)
2. I ended up reinforcing the belt with some interfacing
3. I also ended up making the belt a bit narrower by folding the un-sewed edge by a couple of mm. otherwise the belt would've not fit too well
Loved your pattern, especially the amazing pocket pattern. It was all cohesive and well put together in conjunction with your YouTube how to make video. I’ve already make a denim and leather Utility Overskirt! They look great!
Pattern was perfect and made sense, procedure also was very logical coming from the perspective of a pattern maker myself. I also enjoyed the instruction video both athletically and also for its clarity. I made this as a gift for someone and she really loved it! I made a few fit adjustments but it was straightforward for the design. I think this is also a beginner friendly project as well.
Easy to follow pattern and lively result. I used black and white pattern webbing instead for the belt to match the bias binding I used which worked well. Also did french seams on the sides. Can’t wait to use it!

I’m really happy with how it turned out, especially the fit at the front! However, I wish the back were a bit more fitted and had less bunching.
This was so much fun to sew & instructions were very easy to follow. I love the final piece, thank you so much! 🥹
Lovely pattern! Super clear instructions and having the option to turn off layers on the pattern was awesome. Would recommend!
Great pattern, easy to follow!
Original and easy to follow. Missing an allowance for seams? My sewing teacher suggested it. I'm a newby and need the guidance.
Pretty good! A little frustrating how many ads the video has and that it doesn't match up with the order of steps in the instructions, but overall a good pattern!
