FAQ
-
Yes! We provide the sewing pattern files in both an A0 or A1 size to print at a copy shop AND an A4 size that is printable at home. We provide a guide of how to do this in our pattern instructions.
-
Absolutely not.
We do reccomend using an overlocker to level up your sewing projects to achieve a higher quality level finish. However, the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine will do the job! -
Yes, the sewing pattern files come with size layers that can be turned on and off. You will need adobe acrobat or an equivalent program to access the layer function.
-
There are many places to purchase fabrics for our sewing patterns. We generally opt for natural fibres in our projects and that lines up with our fabric suggestions within our pattern guides.
You can look for a local fabric store to you, where you can go in person to look and get an actual feel for what fabrics you like. Alternatively, you can shop online for fabrics. Some online fabric stores we love are:
- wearethefabricstore.com
- Etsy shopsAnother budget friendly way to find fabrics are marketplace and op shops! This ofcourse requires a little more effort and patience but we have definitely found some great fabrics this way.
-
Yes. Some patterns are easier than others but all come with an in depth step by step guide and really hold your hand through the project if that's what you need.
We are also working on some youtube video tutorials of our sewing patterns for those who prefer a visual guide! -
A great first sewing project would be our billie overalls pattern! These are actually quite an easy sew that results in a super sweet garment!
All our sewing patterns come with step by step guides that walk you through the process to make it as easy and beginner friendly as possible!

BECOME A TESTER.
For each pattern that The Ordinary Folk releases we make sure to test the pattern on real people and real bodies. We gain valuable feedback from you on fit, construction and the user experience. We seek to improve our patterns with every single pattern we release and we couldn’t do this without you.
We are building a tester team and accept a reasonable amount of testers for both women’s and kids patterns. If you’d like to part of our pattern process or find out more, you can apply via the link below.
